I thought with newer GPUs being more powerful they would need more pins to draw more power?
Why does my old AMD 7950 requires 14 (8+6) pins but the new 3060 and 3070 only requires 8 pins total?

So if I was to get a RTX3060, I would ONLY plug in the 8pin and tuck away the 6pin?
This is all so confusing.
more calculation powa =/= draw more powa.
It is more efficient with new architecture
