The reason the power connector isn’t found at the end of the card is because the PCB itself is actually pretty small, taking up only a little over half of the total card length. We love the look of this 12-pin connector, and appreciate being able to whittle two connectors down to one, but even so, it’s a little painful that you won’t be able to avoid having a cable hanging in front of the installed FE cards.
In time, we suspect PSU vendors will adopt the connector, saving some adapter hassle. Like the RTX 3080, the Founders Edition of the RTX 3090 uses a new 12-pin power connector, which can be utilized with the help of an included adapter. For those that prefer to watch rather than read, you can check out our video review, too. As we did last week with the RTX 3080, we’ve put the new RTX 3090 through our ProViz gauntlet to see how it performs against the TITAN RTX that it’s effectively replacing. Speaking of the RTX 3090, that happens to be the topic of discussion today. Since last week, NVIDIA and its partners have made improvements to their web portals, and are working to increase supply, so we’re hoping the second Ampere GeForce, RTX 3090, will find itself a little more available. It seems likely that the RTX 3080 is going to remain elusive for a little while, so anyone who’s desperate for one will be finding themselves refreshing the same few browser tabs throughout the day.
While we found ourselves blown-away with the performance offered by the RTX 3080, our readers found themselves with blown tops after failing to purchase one. To say the launch was eventful would be an understatement. Unless you’ve actively been ignoring all sources of tech news and discussion on the internet, you’re probably aware that NVIDIA released its first Ampere-powered GeForce last week.
