Asus is actually going to bring us a graphics card without power connectors, and it's going to be doing so this year. Having floated the concept at Computex 2023, it was met with such enthusiasm the company has reportedly decided to put the design into mass production this autumn (via WCCFTech). And honestly, I'm living for the idea of fewer cables showing when building my next gaming PC.
Starting with Asus' upcoming RTX 4070, you won't have to stare at that unsightly cable protruding from the side of your GPU, or otherwise buy a pretty cable mod to make it a more bearable sight.
So yes, there are still cables, they're just not visible around the front.
The back-facing GPU connector can deliver up to 600W of power to the upcoming GPU, so prepare yourself for a cableless feast for the eyes, and a potential shock to the สล็อต wallet for the privilege of this super clean, minimal design evolution. And more cables to have to jam into that unsightly mass hidden behind the motherboard.
The first models coming by the end of the year, so keep an eye out for them if you're in the market for some minimal PC build components.
