since2003launched inATX 2.Xversion of the power specification,19yearsPCThe power supply was running just fine until this year3month,IntelreleaseATX 3.0Power Specifications, new12VHPWR 16The pin interface can bePCIe 5.0Graphics cards, expansion cards provide the highest600Wpower supply capacity.
This time the change is very big, the futureATX 3.0power supply and even motherboard,CPUthe graphics card design will not be affected,NVIDIAofRTX 3090TiThe power supply is the first graphics card to support the new specification, but there is no actualATX 3.0The power supply is on the market, so the graphics card also comes with a bonus3indivual8pinAdapter.
The new specification this time isIntelandPCI-SIGIt was formulated in cooperation with the organization, so why should the two sides strengthen the power supply of the graphics card so much?PCWorldwebsite interviewedIntelthe company’sStephen Eastmanhe wrote the Power Supply Design Guidelines, which introducedATX 3.0Improvements in power supply design.
The original text is relatively long, and it is simply summed up in one sentence –ATX 3.0Power isPCIe 5.0Graphics card ready, ostensibly raised to600Wpower supply, actually higher, to be able to handle3times the power consumption, that is1800WPower is supplied, albeit only momentarily.
The power consumption of the graphics card is not given by the manufacturerTDPorTBPPower consumption is so simple, currentlyPCIe 5.0Although the graphics card is nominally the highest600Wpower supply, but practical considerationsPower ExcursionThe problem of power offset can be understood as peak power consumption.
existATX 3.0power supply,IntelandPCI-SIGThere are different power offset requirements for different power supplies, where more than450Wof the power supply, it is necessary to do3xpower supply that lasts at least100microseconds.
right600WFor graphics cards,ATX 3.0Power is what it does1800WThe instantaneous power consumption output, which is the currentATXWhat the power supply can’t do, it’s alsoATX 3.0One of the core reasons why the power supply has changed the power supply standard and wire material.
One more word, fromAMDandNVIDIAofRX 7000andRTX 40From the perspective of the series of graphics cards, the direction of greatly increasing the power consumption of graphics cards to improve performance in the future is not running.H100Accelerator card power consumption can exceed700Wget the game card500-600WIt is not impossible. If you want to change the card at the end of this year and early next year, everyone should consider a new generation of power supply.
