Wow the industry is sure being stubborn.

What would happen if reviewers collectively refused to review any GPU with the 16pin connector?

Also why wasnt this bumped to 16 gigs, its just rude at this point.

FTFY

AMD isn't launching anything with this POS just yet
And the connector is still in open beta go figure. Yep, we're beta testing power connections too now.

The new connector sucks, they could have made something much more reliable, something like a modified XT60 connector.

Out of curiosity, why XT60 as an example? The connector itself should generally be specced to 30A (for 12V then 360W), two wires (360W implies at least 14-gauge) and thick wires make bending quite a bit more problematic. The size is a bit smaller than 12v6x2 but not by that much. The point was purely the connection reliability due to large pins and contact surface?

I said XT60 because it can handle over 600 Watts which was the point of using a new connector. The silicon jacketed wires that are typically used with these connectors are very flexible for their size.
