[SOLVED] rtx 3080 connector

[Dominik_Addo]

my current gpu uses an 8 pin and 6 pin connector/s. Heard nvidia will include an 8-12pin convertor will this work or would i need to get a new cable for my PSU?

The NVidia cards will come with an adapter, but the adapter requires 2x8-pin. The AIB's will still be using 6 and 8 pin connectors.

The 6-pin PCI-E power connector specification includes two 12V wires and three ground wires and has a rated maximum power output of 75W. The 8-pin includes three 12V wires and 5 ground wires and has a rated power output of 150W.

So if you plug a 6+2 pin + a 6 pin that's 225 Watts + the 75 Watts of the PCIe slot = 300 Watts. The RTX 3080 can draw a maximum of 350 Watts.

You need a PSU that can handle 2 PCIe 6+2 pin cable.

Furmark power reached 370W on the founder edition.

What is your PSU brand and model?
