EVGA and GALAX Reveal GeForce RTX 3090 Ti Graphics Cards with Dual 16-Pin Power Connectors

[Tsing]

With a single PCIe Gen 5 power connector being able to deliver up to 600 watts of power, one must surely be enough for even the most outrageous graphics cards, right? Wrong, as some manufacturers have already begun showing off GPUs that feature not one, but two of the new 16-pin 12VHPWR connectors.

Don't forget 2200 starting price tags.

I have a feeling the dual power connectors are more for show than required - you could probably push an overclock into needing the second if you wanted to really push hard and get lucky with the lotto, but I doubt stock they come close. Will be interesting to see

In more ways than one. These are both somewhat unicorn cards. Galax is next to impossible for us mere mortals, who are not celebrity overclockers or reviewers with tight connections, to get a hold of.

In order to get a Kingpin, you've got to jump through some hoops with EVGA in order to even get on the tiered list, that or pay a scalper on Ebay and it's sure to be around $3K-$4K by then.
