So I just bought a quadro p6000 from ebay with 2 year warranty for 2k and while I wait for it to come, I noticed that it only has one 8pin power conector and yet it is rated at 250w and the power numbers don't add up for me?

Found this from NVidia:

---
Typically, the PCIe slot is rated for 75 W and the 8-pin PCIe connector is rated for 150 W. However, based on our testing and surveying the current ecosystem, it was found that the 8-pin PCIe connector can drive up to 175 W. Along with the PCIe slot, it can support a graphics card consuming up to 250 W. However, due to the increased power delivery on the 8-pin PCIe connector, PSU with a 12V rail capable of driving at least 18A needs to be dedicated for the 8-pin PCIe connector.

So for this situation will a 1000w seasonic prime ultra titanium do the job?I don't quite understand if that model psu has that power option by looking at the page.

(the rest of the power goes to the tr4 and future expansion)
 
I was advised to just use a single 8 pin cable for the gpu and all good.
I'm facing another dilemma right now:

The pc is on the table with a few missing things such as the psu.
It will be the p6000,64gb ram, x399 taichi,a 2990wx or a 2950x at stock(still debating) and quite a few fans.(6x140fans and 3x120mm)

I went to see that wattage calculator on seasonics site and it says that I need a 1200w platinum psu for 24/7????(I will obviously have it render some times a week or so but not forever..)
I was thinking that the 1000w titan psu shoud be more than enough or are they brainwashing me to spend more?

They have some strange option there for cpu utilization TDP that is set at 90% as recommended.I understand it as that if the cpu is rendering,than the tdp shoud be at its max.(250w or 180w)

8-pin cables can handle up to 15A without issue. It's questionable above that, but if NVIDIA says it is fine then I'd go with that. It's their warranty that is at stake. You do need to follow their recommendation about 18A delivery over the +12V rail, though, so be sure to check the specs of whatever PSU you're looking at.

20% overhead above the maximum power draw of your PC is typically recommended, so take what you calculate that to be and multiply it by 1.2.
 


Are do you.

In that case the seasonic I showed
https://seasonic.com/prime-ultra-titanium

Shows 83A at 12v rail in the photo so that's a yes?
 
This is the exact PSU I have.

Will I have any problem with going from a GTX 750 Ti SC 2GB to a GTX 960 4GB? I know that the 750 doesn't draw its power from the BoMo, where as the the GTX 960 will have to get AUX power connectors. This the exact PSU that I have. Do I have the required connections? And the required Wattage? I think I'm pushing it, but I just can't do anything about a new better PSU any time soon.
 
Why would you think that I'm being sarcastic? I'm not able to overclock. My best bet is to get a better GPU.
 
OP, just to chime in and confirm, I've had my hands quite a few of these P6000's and have always ran them off of the single 8-pin. Built by me, shipped completed from Dell or BOXX, all on that single 8-pin, 0 issues to report.

As far as the PS goes, I've had great luck with this guy: https://www.hardocp.com/article/2012/11/13/seasonic_x1250_1250w_power_supply_review/9 running that in 6 of our rendering/simulation machines (dual Xeon E5-2697Av4's or Dual Xeon SP Gold 6142's), sometimes for days on end pegged at 100% crunching simulations/renders. Haven't had any issues across the 6 yet relating to power delivery, these machines are solid.

EDIT: On 3 of our machines we're running the above PS I linked, and on the other 3 we're running a PRIME unit: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151208
