Sorry, I should have said 8-pin or 6+2 pin (if my google results are
correct).
You didn't answer.
I think that's where the issue is - - - - the PSU has a 6 + 2 Molex connector
setup. The cable looks good - - - cable with external mesh to 'neaten' up the
internals - - - - except there are only 7 conductors! One of the ground cables
is just not connected - - - - that's on the PSU side - - - there are 8
cables on
the card side but NOT on the PSU end.
My guess is that the new card just have to have all eight connections.
(Stands to reason imo.)

If your going to need a new PSU for this I would recommend going with
EVGA or Seasonic as they have PSUs with 10/12 year warranties and
here's an example from their high end offerings.

Most modern PSUs last really long and the connectors haven't changed 6+2
pins
have been around for awhile even on a older PSU I bought in 2012. The other
other thing is I've assuming you know what a modular PSU is but there
all modular
now or at least semi excluding 8 pin for CPU and 24 pin for motherboard
so buying
extra cables is not a problem if they die or you need extras.
