NVIDIA will be bundling an adapter. You'll need a beefy PSU though. It's a three-to-one converter, your power supply must still have at least three 8-pin PCIe power connectors available.

TL;DR: The GeForce RTX 5060 and 5060 Ti are rumored to launch in March 2025, using an 8-pin PCIe power connector and requiring a 650W power supply. Expected prices are $329 for the RTX 5060 and ...

Thus, the 8-pin was a much safer bet. The 8-pin connector can supply up to 150W from the cable, with an additional 75W from the PCI-E slot, bringing the total available power to approximately 225W.

According to VideoCardzPC owners won’t have to upgrade their power supply if it provides enough power. The RTX 5060 will have the same power connector as the RTX 4060, but the power supply requirement ...

However, its PCB layout, which allows for two DRAMs, is not interchangeable with the GeForce RTX 4070 Super or GeForce RTX 4070 Ti due to differences in the PCIe 8-Pin power supply configuration.

A standard PCIe x16 slot can provide up to 75W of power. If you add another 150W from an 8-pin connector, you're looking at 225W from the motherboard alone.

Therefore, any power supply should theoretically work fine for this feature, though MSI is pitching it as offered on its newest ATX 3.1 slash PCIe 5.1 power supplies.

Your power supply isn’t the only concern if you’re buying a GeForce RTX 3080 with just two 8-pin power connectors, like Nvidia’s Founders Edition. The RTX 3080 is rated for 320W of total ...

The Power Supply has a 24-pin EPS12V connector for the motherboard, but the second connector is an EPS12V 8-pin connector (Oddly enough, there is no 4-pin - just 8 Molex, 2 SATA, and two Floppy ...

Compatibility This is the first and most important feature to keep in mind. As mentioned earlier, the PS5 uses a C7 power cord (figure-8 plug), so ensure that the cable you chose is the figure-8 type.
