A GeForce RTX 3080 Founders Edition tem um conector de alimentação de 12 pinos, mas pode ser um conector exclusivo da NVIDIA
A NVIDIA fez um grande negócio com seu novo conector de 12 pinos no lead-up até o lançamento da série RTX 30, que alegou ser compatível com os cabos PCIe de 8 pinos. A Corsair e outros OEMs estão se preparando para lançar PSUs de 12 pinos para aqueles que querem a configuração mais limpa, mas a NVIDIA não fez nenhuma menção a seu novo conector no lançamento da semana passada. Da mesma forma, as poucas versões oficiais da RTX 3080 Founders Edition que foram publicadas não confirmam a presença de um conector de 12 pinos. Mostra-se o conector de alimentação da placa, mas não a largura total do mesmo.
Indeed, a cursory check of the specifications of the RTX 3080 Founders Edition reveals that the card requires two PCIe 8-pin connectors. Conversely, NVIDIA refers to the card as having a "new 12-pin power connector" in one graphic, albeit it has hidden this text somewhat.
Thankfully, Digital Foundry has cleared up the matter. At 2:55 minutes into its RTX 3080 hands-on video, Digital Foundry shows a close-up of the 12-pin connector, which we have included above. However, add-in-board partners (AIBs) will not be using the new connector, as Tweaktown suggested last month. We can confirm that at least KFA2, inno3D, MSI and Zotac have gone with two 8-pin connectors on their custom RTX 3080 cards, which begs the question of why NVIDIA created the 12-pin connector in the first place. Perhaps, NVIDIA will make the 12-pin power connector mandatory for future cards, but we fail to understand the fragmentation with its Ampere generation.
