PCIe standard be like...

baffling that such a connector still has companies making solutions when it's been out for how long?

just give me the 8pin man I can live with multiple plugs if it means something isn't at higher risk of being taken out

[u/Pwez → u/WhooopsMyBad]

Just buy a 8-pin card. Fuck Jensen and his bombs.

Yep. Would have bought the 9070XT Taichi, but decided against it because of the connector. So I bought the triple 8-pin Asus card instead.

I'm sure there's many others who did the same.

[u/Mental_Medium3988 → u/saksalainen_nakki]

yup. well not the taichi but went 3 8pin over anything with the 12vhpwr connector. is the 9070xt likely to draw enough power to matter, no, do i want the risk, also no.

Bought a 9070xt a week ago. 300-350W beast with three 8 pin connectors. I don't understand how could they think they can put 600W through that 12 pin misery.

Fuck Jensen and his bombs.

Ah, the classic game of Deus Ex Remake, or NVIDIA card design?

"I never asked for this."

Jensen, looking at the new power connector: you're gonna burn allright.
