Going back to a single PCIe 8 PIN power supply design is a good thing for consumers.
In fact, we mentioned in our past reports on NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 graphics cards that this AD104-250 chip product will allow changes to the PCIe 8 PIN power supply design, and the relevant content was also confirmed by the German website Igor’s Lab.
However, there may be some misunderstandings in this report, so we confirmed with some of NVIDIA’s AIC partners as follows:
1. GeForce RTX 4070 of AD104-250 only allows single PCIe 8 PIN power supply design, NVIDIA has not opened it, or allows AIC partners to provide dual PCIe 8 PIN power supply;
2. The maximum TGP of a single PCIe 8 PIN is 215W. If you want to exceed 215W, you can only use the 12VHPWR interface;
3. NVIDIA currently only allows 215W;
The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 with 12GB GDDR6X memory configuration is expected to go on sale on April 13.
However, there may be some misunderstandings in the report, so we have confirmed the following with some of NVIDIA’s AIC partners:
The GeForce RTX 4070 of AD104-250 only allows a single PCIe 8 PIN power supply design, and NVIDIA has not opened up or allowed AIC partners to provide dual PCIe 8 PIN power supply.
The maximum TGP for a single PCIe 8 PIN is 215W. If you want to exceed 215W, you can only use the 12VHPWR interface.
NVIDIA currently only allows up to 215W.
