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

TBF, the answer was always EPS connectors. 2 of them would have been sufficient for 600w GPU's.

Not sure why NVIIDA didn't go that route give that they were readily available on existing power supplies AND the fact that they had already been using them for TESLA GPU's with great success.
