There's a new cable-free power connector for graphics cards on the way and it doesn't play around. Rated to deliver anywhere between 600W and 900W, the GC-HPCE connection would suitably cover any of today's high-end graphics cards or in fact something a lot bigger that Nvidia may be dreaming up for the next-gen.
GC-HPCE manages those power demands without any pesky cables to get in the way. It's a connection parallel to the PCIe connector running along the length of a graphics card, requiring a motherboard suitably designed to allow that sort of current to flow through it. That puts the onus on the motherboard to really deliver, which comes with its own set of concerns, yet it appears on the surface to be the better connector versus the 12VHPWR cable introduced with Nvidia's RTX 40-series cards.
