Fast Technology reported on February 6 that according to Nvidia’s mandatory requirements, the rtx 40 super series of non-public version graphics cards no longer use the traditional pcie 6/8-pin power supply interface, but are all equipped with a 12vhpwr 16-pin interface as standard. has so far There are almost no exceptions among the 188 designs...
is almost the same, because there was an RTX 4070 super that still insisted on using dual 8-pin power supply, but it was quickly removed from the shelves.
Now there is another rtx 4080 super that does something different from ordinary people. comes from the gaming pro version of Tongde. Although it also has a 16-pin interface, after disassembly, you can see that two 8-pins are reserved at the end of the pcb. The location of the interface.
is just that there are no circuits and related components near these two interfaces.
We know that rtx 4080 and rtx 4080 super are very closely related. Many graphics cards are reused from PCB to radiator. seems to be more direct from Tongde. It does not remove the original power supply interface design and directly adds a 16 pin interface.
In fact, the TGP power consumption of RTX 4080 Super is only 320W, and the measured average power consumption in 4K games is only 274W. There is no need to use the 12VHPWR 16-pin interface, let alone RTX 4070 Super.
nvidia The only reason for doing this is nothing more than forced promotion. When it comes to the benefits of the 16-pin interface, the most direct one is to save some PCB area.
