I'm a fanboy of common sense. They changed 8 pins to 12+4. Does that mean there was something wrong with 8 pins? No, not to my knowledge and experience, everything was fine.

don't you even read the news you are commenting on? it was revised (key word revised) because "PCI-SIG have been doing some work around the existing controversial 12VHPWR power connector to make some improvements and prevent issues that happened along the way. Called 12V-2x6, the connector features minor revisions"

So? What's your point? 8pin has been revised as well.

Yes, sure PCIe sig is trying to make the 12+4 more idiot proof. That doesn't mean there is anything wrong with the current iteration. You can even tell by the pictures what their goal is, to prevent the card from working at all if the cable hasnt been plugged all the way. Isn't that like the ultimate proof that the whole thing has been user error?

It's what you are suggesting with the 12+4 pin cards. Glad you realized how silly it sounds

You keep creating arguments based on lies and on distortion of reality. I guess it works for you, so you will never stop.

Good to see that nVidia is using the new connector, hopefully this fixes the issue.

Oh no - nvidia is using an entirely DIFFERENT connector, it's their same old one but with shorter pins - so it's not compatible with the prior standard, or the new one

What a nightmare for the card owners

What prior or new standard is not compatible with?

I know hating on nvidia is fun and all that, but people need to realize - at some poinnt - that nvidia isn't doing anything. They are following the PCIsig standard. Just like any other company does.

It's funny. You are so much in defending Nvidia, that you get triggered with everything. You can't even identify sarcasm.

I get triggered with non factual statements. Nvidia has nothing to do it. I don't care about Nvidia even a tiny bit
