Overview

• Nvidia's RTX 50 series, potentially launching at CES 2025, is expected to maintain the 12V-2x6 power connector, accommodating higher power demands.
• Speculation suggests the RTX 5090 could require up to 600 watts of power, a substantial increase from the RTX 4090's 450 watts.
• Corsair's current power supply units, including the RMe, Shift, and HXi series, are confirmed to support these high power requirements.
• The transition to 12V-2x6 connectors aims to resolve previous issues with 12VHPWR connectors, which caused overheating in earlier GPU models.
• AMD and Intel are also expected to adopt the 12V-2x6 standard, though their upcoming GPUs are unlikely to match Nvidia's high power needs.
