Earlier this week, Seasonic revealed that it would be doing a solid for current and prospective owners of NVIDIA’s new GeForce RTX 30 Series Founders Edition cards, which utilize a brand-new 12-pin power connector.

Bottom line is if you are buying a power supply, make sure it's a Seasonic or built by Seasonic for a 3rd party. And never, EVER buy EVGA power supplies. I'm not a shill for Seasonic, and I own an EVGA GTX 1080, but ever since EVGA shown they cannot be trusted by Kyle over at HardOCP, I have encouraged all to just buy the best and be done with it. They cost more generally, but when you get a 10+ year Warranty, shouldn't you expect to pay more for the HEART of your system?

And now they are giving this special cable adapter for FREE to owners of these new cards.... why buy a PS from anyone else?

Nice! I just moved to a SeaSonic PRIME PSU last year from a Corsair unit.

I don't, either. If I remember correctly, it was the usual case of EVGA not liking that their reviews were not glowing, so EVGA stopped sending them samples. EVGA uses Super Flower for their OEM in a couple of their product lines, so they sell some high-quality power supply units.
