Be Quiet! He has launched an adapter for its modular power supplies that comes expressly for provide a more elegant alternative to powering the new NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 and RTX 4090well remember, the adapter that currently comes with these cards requires at least three 8-pin connectors for card operation.
This adapter requires a modular source of adequate power -as we see in the table below these lines- and have two 12-pin connectors on the source sidesince in the previous generation of NVIDIA graphics cards, we found ourselves with the 12-pin connector, not the 12+4-pin connector that we currently have.
In general, it is an adapter that is not mandatory to obtain, but it will improve the aesthetics of the equipment and potentially will increase the radius available to go around the cables in their pathwell remember, it is a point to take into account with this generation of PCI Express connectors.
For now its price and availability in the market is unknown, because it is an accessory that is probably not sold in very large quantities.
