Der8auer shows off Nvidia's so-far unreleased dual 12VHPWR to 6x 8-pin adapter that was likely meant for the RTX Titan Ada that never came out. This adapter can supply up to 900W of power theoretically and is built very well for a prototype, with proper injection moulding. But there is no smart communication.

Oh no. Hard paralleled wires. Because that has worked so well already ...

But this would help dramatically reduce failures at the existing power levels (below 600W) by allowing major current derating on the pins. It just isn't backwards compatible to the single 12VHPWR GPUs.

Don't worry next gen will have two connectors Nvidia don't want keep everyone down.
6080 with two sockets will be a thing

Why not just use a IEC C13 cable instead 😱

Can you imagine people plugging that straight into a wall outlet? 😀
