I am looking for actual factual information here not a discussion about "what ifs". That being said let me elaborate on my question.
RTX 3070 Founder ED. With the proprietary adaptor in the box effectively you are running this card off of 1x 8 pin pci-e connection (theoretically 150 watt) then you are pulling (75 watt theoretically of the pci-e slot) Total 225 watt.
Pretty common place not considering power spikes that these cards can pull from 225-245 watts under full load, higher end is reached when power limit in software is increased 10%, That being said aren't we pulling more wattage then the connections and provide ?
Well I know that is not the case, Even with piggy pack pci-e cable common on many power supplies Jonny Guru tested that a single 8 pin (cable) can give up to 300 watts, not that this is the best case scenario by any means. (you run into more of an amp issue at this point then anything else) (single rail and quality cables should avoid this theoretically)
So the question of the day is this, Assuming that these cards only come with 1x12-pin to 8-pin cable, are the cards able to pull 300 watts off one cable or is it best if you are pushing the card to upgrade to a 12-pin to 2x 8 pin Y splitter?
I appreciate in information on this matter as I am beyond curious.
With heavily modified kingpin cards that I have used with LN2, we always use these Y adaptors to plug more connectors to achieve more power(hard mods). But I don't know if that will translate to the Nvidia FE cards.
