In case you recall a few years and a number of other centuries in the past when the RTX 4090 launched, a bunch of them melted. Okay, that’s hyperbolic, however a small however notable variety of 40-series playing cards had points with the brand new 12VHPWR connector setup that triggered playing cards to brief out and fail. Nvidia says that received’t occur with the brand new RTX 50 collection.
Firm representatives stated as a lot to an viewers on the RTX AI PC Day (woof, alphabet soup) convention in South Korea. In accordance with QuasarZone.com (machine translated, noticed by VideoCardz.com), representatives say the swap to a barely newer, tweaked energy connector for ATX model 3.01 solved the difficulty.
“It is expected that such a phenomenon will not occur in the RTX 50 series. We made some changes to the connector to respond to the issue at the time, and now, about two years later, I understand that such problems do not occur.”
So there you may have it, the slight changes within the 12V-2×6 energy connector setup have the issue licked. After all, there’s no assure that solely new and equally disastrous points received’t befall these new Nvidia playing cards. However you could possibly say the identical about any new design. It’s good to see that Nvidia has made observe of the 40-series points and examined issues, although, not less than in response to them.
