New PCIe standards are on the verge of making your graphic’s cards auxiliary power cables obsolete.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This news comes via an interview<\/a><\/strong> with Tom\u2019s Hardware, in which PCI-SIG Vice President Richard Solomon said that new PCIe 4.0 motherboard connectors would deliver a minimum of 300 watts and perhaps as much as 500 watts<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

That means you could power\u00a0today\u2019s most demanding graphics cards\u00a0without the need for dedicated power cables.<\/p>\n

Currently, PCIe 3.0 is currently certified for up to 75 watts of power delivery, so this proposed jump is quite substantial.<\/p>\n

PCIe 4.0 will be backward compatible with PCIe 3.0 cards, although newer PCIe 4.0-compliant cards can\u2019t be used on older PCIe 3.0 boards.<\/p>\n
