next graphics card RTX 3090 Ti will require power cord adapters for those sources that do not have the connector PCIe 5.0 de 12+4 pines. The adapter would be sold with each unit, and would be capable of supplying up to 450W.
RTX 3090 Ti will come with 3×8 pin to PCIe 5.0 power adapter
The graphics cards will have a new connector, which will require an adapter, since it is not possible to power the RTX 3090 Ti with only 8-pin connectors, since a 12-pin connector is required.
The only limitation here is that you can only supply up to 450W with this adapter and not the 600W that the new ‘full’ PCIe 5.0 connector is capable of supplying. This is because it does not have the additional 4 pins, which only those sources prepared with this new connector are capable of supplying.
Apparently, the power supplies with the cable and connector already attached will not be available at the release of the graphics card. RTX 3090 Tiwhich would be one of the many reasons to include the adapter in the box, preventing users from having to get the adapter separately to be able to install the graphics cards in their PCs.

The total consumption that a graphics card with this configuration could have would be 525W, as 450W would be supplied by the PCIe 5.0 cable with the adapter and 75W by the motherboard’s own PCIe slot.
The RTX 3090 Ti will be the new flagship of the RTX 30 series, which has the GPU GA102-350 with some 10752 CUDA clouds enabled. This model will contain a memory GDDR6X with a speed of 21 Gbps. This will be the last big step for Nvidia before the arrival of the RTX 40 series later this year.
