Of course, most current PSUs don't have anything to connect such a cable to themselves, so a new expensive PSU will also become a necessity with a high-end Ampere GPU. https://www.tweaktown.com/news/73785/nvidias-next-gen-ampere-geforce-rtx-30-series-new-12-pin-pcie-power/index.html More reason to go AMD if Big Navi holds up. |
Supposedly the rumour is a fake.
The source many tech blogs used to report on @nvidia #Ampere using a new 12 pin PCIE power connector is fake.
This would have been apparent had anyone ran it through a translator. pic.twitter.com/eiOik5i2R1

The connector exists but it's very unlikely that it will be used on Ampere consumer cards. Personally I can see it on a Titan but I highly doubt we will see that on their gaming targeted cards.
