Gigabyte has refined its GeForce RTX 4090 WindForce design by rethinking the positioning of the controversial 16-pin 12VHPWR power connector. Twitter's @Harukaze5719 noticed that the firm quietly introduced a V2 iteration of the RTX 4090 WindForce design, and you can see the change we are highlighting in images above and below.
It is interesting that Gigabyte quietly introduced this change in a non-flagship family of graphics cards. There is no press release about this new WindForce V2 design. The product page, which shows the change from multiple angles, doesn't even mention the highly evident physical change.
