The 12pin still looks ridiculously stupid and a huge waste given the freakishly large size. Like they couldn't find the real estate on there?

I'm gonna sell my 2080Ti on Ebay and get as much as possible for it.
Definitely going for the 3090, as my PSU can handle it.
Gonna buy it on my card, get the Rewards Flyer points for it and then write the whole thing off as a business expense.
I'm curious, what is your take on their reason to increase the TDP so heavily?

Wow, that's a relief.... I've been loosing sleep from constantly worrying over what you intended to do with your old graphics card and whether you you were going to get that 3090. I think I speak for the entire community when I say that.
Well, I've read at very sources that the 3090 will use 390+ watts, with AIBs going above that.... There's already leaks showing three 8 pin connections in AIB models. According to moore's law is dead (if you have a negative opinion of him, keep it to yourself unless it's based on some empirical data or evidence that clearly warrants that negative opinion) Nvidia had to up the TDP significantly because they're that concerned about RDNA2. Furthermore, he sais that while AMD may not take the top performance crown, that RDNA2 should be more efficient and that second biggest RDNA2, based on what his leaks tell him, should be the star of the next gen cards, offering the best performance per dollar and watt and that it should allow AMD to lock up the upper modtier/lower top tier of videocard....he also said that he strongly encourages everyone to wait until RDNA2 is released before making any purchases, and this is looking like Radeon's Zen2 moment.

Yeah, that cooler... I don't buy 3-slot video cards on principle.Max power draw perhaps, but it also looks like a pretty beefed up cooler, doesn't suggest we'll stick to 250W... There is 375 available.

One more week of guessing and then we'll see.
My money's on the 3090 being some freak like the 2080Ti and rest of the cards being much saner. But still priced close to their Turing counterparts![]()

You are lucky, I am an electrician (plus electronics) and I did my research about wires and connectors wattage, very recently.
Its pair of wires (among molex pins in use ) this is designed to transfer 5A for 24/24 operation.
NVIDIA has the thought to use up to 30A from the new connector, but this is a planning ahead.
They are mentioning about a supplied adaptor (cables), this can use two 8Pin them able to deliver 15A its one.
According max specifications of a pair of wires among molex pin maximum current specifications, this is at 7A.
I do not think that they will push the envelope that far for now.

And those results are also a bit dated now, probably made with pre-production versions of the card with testing drivers. It may have improved a lot since then.According to the leaked benchmarks (Time Spy Extreme) the 3090 is up to 56% faster than 2080Ti, even if it consumes 350W it should end up being 15% or so more efficient which is not bad if Samsung's 10nm is being used, which is miles behind TSMC's N7P process in performance and efficiency.
If their cooling solution can indeed handle the 350W TDP with acceptable thermals and noise levels then they've done an amazing job.
The PCI-E specification are so super safe, that you can push alot more through then intended. A capable PSU, connectors, wires and video cards can pull way more then the advertised 75/150W. I mean even my oc'ed 580 did manage to pull 22A from one single 8 pin connector, it got warm, yes, lol.

But if you think about it, why Nvidia introduced this "one" connector, it's designed for the enterprise market, and simply pushed over to the gaming part. They no longer have to make 2 different model(s) of cards for both enterprise and / or consumer. The cards that do not pass the enterprise quality are moved over to the gamer ones. Nothing really gets lost in these markets.

2x 8-pin. 150 W max power for the card (+75 W slot) would just not be enough
Basically they're saying the max Power draw from a card with 1x 12pin new connector is 675W? (2x 300W 8pin + 75W From PCIE Power)?
lets see what the real power draw is, i hope they just left a lot more capacity on the connector to be used.
