AMD has confirmed that its next-gen RDNA 3 graphics cards won’t use the same power adapters employed with the Nvidia RTX 4090, which has hit the headlines recently with some reports of problems around melting (yes – very bad news indeed).
For those who missed this, these are 12VHPWR power adapters used by folks to connect the RTX 4090 16-pin cable (for ATX 3.0, the newest PSUs) to an ATX 2.0 power supply (that the vast majority of PC owners still have).
