[WYP]

A newer, safer, high wattage power connection is on the way.



Read more about Nvidia's new 12V2x6 power cable design.

I have an inkling Nvidia will do a Super 4060/70/80/90 refresh with increased specs and the new safer connector which will be quite the kick in the pants for current 4000 series owners.

A few were BUT it's user error that shouldn't be easily doable as the connector should have 2 clips at the top and 2 clips underneath that only clip in once it is fully seated and not able to wiggle at all. .

I would agree, they will probably be releasing super variants late this year or early next year with more VRAM, maybe slightly higher specs or clock speeds, but I don't expect that, would be "too much" for them to give us... More VRAM for sure tho.

RTX 50 I would expect only 2025+
