No not all PSUs have PCI-E connectors, some have none, some have 1 6/8 pin and some have 4 or more. When it comes to the PCI-E connector the best rule of thumb to have is if the PSU does not have the connector for your card, it was not designed to support it.

What is a 6 pin connector on power supply?

6-pin power connectors are typically found in low and mid-range graphics cards. The 6-pin power connector has 4.2mm pitch and can pull up to 75 watts of power directly from an external power supply, bypassing the motherboard entirely.

Can 6 pin PSU connect to 8 pin?

6 pin to 8 pin adapters are fine with decent psu and used with only one adapter in total. Again you’ll need to have a decent psu to begin with, the 8 pin connection contains two additional ground pins which somehow enables the connection to provide more power, for specifics maybe someone else could chime in.
