Helping son, 9070 xt with Corsair 750, is it enough

Upgrading my sons pc. Got a new gigabyte radeon amd rx 9070 xt. We've got 1 pci e cord (6/8pins) from the original video card, this pci e does have a second set of pins that are daisy chained on the same cord. The 9070 has 3 8pin slots.
Do I need another set of pcie to get proper power? It's been forever since I've done this. Thank you

Thank you, although we have our pcie plugged in, the third eight pin has a light over it now that we've powered on and the pc does not detect the new video card. Attempting to update drivers results in error 173 saying that no AMD graphics hardware has been detected on the system. Trying to troubleshoot at the moment unless somebody has the answer to fix this. Connections look great and the RGB light on the graphics card is on

Wait, how do you get into windows and have any kind of image then?
Ideally, you should check if the power supply has another outlet where you could connect a similar cable as the one you are using now. Do you have the exact model of the power supply?

Two cables into three slots is fine.

Daisy chaining is fine for a 9070 XT.
