Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 Ti and 5060 won’t need 12VHPWR connector, says leak

Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 Ti and RTX 5060 graphics cards are reportedly set to stick with eight-pin power connectors, rather than use the company's new 12VHPWR connector, suggests a new leak. This would be a change from some of the company's previous RTX 4060 Ti cards that did use the new connector. Meanwhile, the total power draw of the cards will be low enough that power supplies rated to just 650W will be sufficient to power them.

As likely contenders for spots on our best graphics card guide, when it comes to those seeking an entry-level GPU, the RTX 5060 Ti and RTX 5060 look set to be the go-to options for gamers seeking an affordable graphics card with a simple upgrade path. As such, Nvidia's apparent decision to remove the need for a new connector could be a welcome one.
