The NVIDIA RTX 5090 Blackwell generation may arrive with dual 16-pin connectors

Recently we are seeing how the new power supplies They have Dual PCIe 5.1 connectora utility that can be useful to those users who are going to use their PC for artificial intelligence tasks where one Dual graphics can be a good combinationBut this double connector can also have another use, depending on They tell us in TweakTownthe More powerful NVIDIA RTX 5090 of the next generation based on Blackwell, may come with dual 16 pin connector.

Although it seems that this next generation is oriented in optimize consumptionwith improvements in performance per watt both by architecture and by a new, more efficient manufacturing node, it seems that the top of the range of the next generation will continue with high consumption. This consumption is so much that it is rumored that it may include dual 16 pin connector or also known as 12V-2×6, which would theoretically offer up to 1,200 W power to this graphics card.

This may be due to the fact that even though it has a TDP of 600WNVIDIA wants to secure a more balanced energy supply between two connectors instead of supporting the 600W in a single cable and connector. They don’t have to be the two 600W connectors either, they can be implemented two of 450W or even one of 600W and another with a lower power to complement.

For the moment this must be dealt with. like a rumorbut it wouldn’t be strange if NVIDIA wants to be on the safe side (and overheating of the connector) by distributing the energy needed by this most powerful Blackwell reference for home users between 2 cables.
