GALAX RTX 3090 GALAX RTX (1200GALAX RTX)
GALAX debuted the first graphics card with two 16-pin connectors, a theoretical power input capability of a whopping 1200 W. At first we thought this is an exercise in absurdity, until we took a close look at our numbers again. Actualmente, ATX 3.0 PSUs with 16-pin connectors are extremely rare, and so every NVIDIA board partner is required to include an NVIDIA-developed adapter that converts three 8-pin PCIe power connectors to one 16-pin. Three 8-pin connectors only add up to 450 W, whereas in our testing we noticed that some of the cards were peaking well beyond 450 W, despite using this adapter.
This is where GALAX’s idea of a dual 16-pin connector begins to make sense. Two 16-pin connectors mean the inclusion of two cable adapters, for a total of six 8-pin inputs, and an input capability of 900 W when using 8-pin PCIe connectors. The GALAX HOF series targets the crème de la crème of the overclocking community, where a stable power delivery is crucial to achieve record-breaking OC feats.
As for the power limits, officially the GALAX RTX 3090 Ti HOF has a power limit of 480 W, but a special BIOS-based P-mode activates 516 W power limits (something way beyond the capability of three 8-pin connectors), y de ahí la decisión de ir con un par de conectores de 16 pines.
