Mess with 7900 xtx power

Hey guys, I'd like to ask you a question. I recently bought a 7900 xtx from Sipphire and simultaneously I bought a G800 power supply from Coolermaster. What happens is that the video card requires a supply of at least 65A (see screenshot) and this source provides this. The problem is that it has two pci cables, each of which has two 6+2 connectors. My question is: if I connect this power supply to the video card, using 3 of these connectors, will it supply the requested energy? Or will I have to change the g800 and buy one that has 3 individual cables? I don't know if I was clear, you must have realized that I'm not an expert on the subject, so I'd like your help to get out of this mess.

Yes , You will need to connect 3 of those 8 pin ( or 6+2)  connectors to the gpu , "each should also be on its own psu  power port" (usually labled gpu or psi) . Two 8 pin cables will not be enough for a Sapphire xtx .
