ASRock preps AMD GPUs for AI inference and multi-GPU systems — Creator series GPUs with dual-slot, blower-type design and 16-pin power connectors

The new ASRock Creator series graphics, debuting with Radeon RX 7900XTX and RX 7900 XT.

ASRock (via momomo_us) has rebranded the company's Navi 31-based AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT and RX 7900 XTX WS graphics cards to the new Creator series for generative AI workloads and workstation setups. These WS series graphics cards originally debuted during Computex 2024.

Quite notably, both the WS series (now the Creator series GPUs) are the first AMD cards to use the 16-pin power connector (12V-2x6), which until now was found in Nvidia's GeForce RTX 40-series graphics cards. Originally, both variants used two 8-pin PCIe connectors, but it makes sense for such graphics cards to transition towards the newer standard as newer high-wattage power supplies have multiple 16-pin connectors for multi-GPU clusters. Also, using a single cable per graphic card helps to reduce the cable clutter.
