Slaughtahouse's post in Help with new PSU and 12VHPWR connector was marked as the answer
* Disclaimer * I don’t own a PSU and/ or GPU with this connector.
Congrats on the purchase 🙂
The risk has been reviewed in depth by Gamers Nexus. The bend (within reason) has no impact. The source of issues stem from the male connector NOT being fully seated into the female connector.
As long as the bend isn’t putting strain on the connector or tension on the cable, in which the male connector is at risk of disconnecting, you’re fine.
Obviously if you put immense strain on the cable by bending it 180 degrees with a very tight radius, maybe the cable would fail at the bend. but you’re far from that situation. The reported issues that blew up in the media were isolated to the connector not being fully seated.
In other words, I think the bend is fine.

Slaughtahouse's post in Thinking of going 4x4K... but kind of? was marked as the answer
To simplify the answer to the question (can my GPU run X displays?), just look at the bandwidth of each port.
1.4a does 32 Gbps
HDMI 2.1 does 48 Gbps.
Then just cross check the constraint (bandwidth) against your target output. HDMI 2.1 can safely do 4K / 120hz / 10 bit. My 3060 Ti was hooked up to my C9 OLED doing 4K / 120 HDR back in 2020.
The Display ports will be a bottleneck if you want to push 4K / 120hz. 4K / 60hz should be doable at 10 bit no problem on all 3 display ports.
Quick google search will find you calculators to help: Video Timings Calculator (tomverbeure.github.io) E.g.,
Sketch to simplify:
GPU horsepower to run games is a different story XD. Especially if you want to run surround, which means you're increasing the render and display resolution of said game, which will become extremely taxing, depending on the title.
