NVIDIA is expected to introduce many significant design settings to previous-generation graphics, not only design settings for previous-generation GeForce graphics cards, but also a new force connector with the logo.
A new rumor has emerged from the Chinese generation FCPOWERUP, which states that NVIDIA will use a new power connector on its next-generation Ampere GeForce RTX 3000 series graphics cards. I heard something similar from sources, but I think it would be equivalent to anything else in this.
It turns out that one expects to see a new 12-pin PCIe power connector on the GeForce RTX 3000 series reference graphics cards. Not only that, but the force will exceed 300W, so with a PCIe power connector with 12 pins and a radically new design cooling (fans at the front and rear according to previous reports), great adjustments will be made with Ampere.
The new 12-pin connector looks like 2 PCIe power connectors with 6 pins combined, offering 8.5 A instead of 6 A.
Better yet, the source states that there is a 4-pin secondary connector next to the 12-pin main connector. We don’t know what it’s for, but the font says that all Ampere-based GeForce RTX 3000 cards with card number PG142 will use it. Means:
Leave out the GeForce RTX 3060, which would have the same GPU force (at least in ray tracing) as the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti, the flagship product in Turing. Interesting.
I’ve already written about rumors that NVIDIA’s next-generation Ampere GPU architecture would be up to 75% faster than existing generation GPUs like the Turing architecture, just after rumors that Ampere would offer 50% more functionality in part of Turing’s power. It’s a pretty crazy thing here.
It’s not that, but we’ve planned specs for so-called GeForce RTX 3080 and GeForce RTX 3070 graphics cards, any of which will be powered through NVIDIA’s new Ampere GPU architecture.
We’ve already heard that Ampere would offer 50% more functionality in part of The power of Turing, which made me the tip. Better yet, you can read here the filtered specifications about the GeForce RTX 3080 and GeForce RTX 3070 calls in Ampere.
