Asus shows off RTX 4070 GPU running with no power cables

Asus GPU power

This is all prototype hardware for now, but Asus has shown off an Nvidia RTX 4070 graphics card running without the need for any power cables. Instead, the card uses a custom slot on the motherboard to gain access to up to 600W of power.

Of course, that means you'll not only need custom graphics card supporting the new power delivery interface, but also a special motherboard. It's unclear whether Asus intends this to be a new industry-wide standard or remain something proprietary to its own products.
