Widespread PCIe 5.0 power adoption from PSU makers is a sign of things to come
Gigabyte has become the latest PSU manufacturer to reveal a power supply that features support for the PCIe 5.0 power standard. This new power standard comes with a new 16-pin connector that's capable of delivering up to 600 watts of power to supported hardware, paving the way towards more power hungry graphics cards and other hardware.
So far, ASUS, MSI and Gigabyte has confirmed that they are launching PCIe 5.0 complainant power supplies, and that tells us one thing. Next-generation graphics cards are definately using PCIe 5.0 power. ASUS, MSI and Gigabyte all manufacture graphics cards for the DIY PC market, which means that they know what power standards their future hardware will utilise. They are all adopting the PCIe 5.0 standard, and that means that future GPUs will aswell.
Gigabyte's Press release (which is included below) for their new UD1000GM 1000W power supply states that "Traditional power supplies need a three 8-pin to 16-pin adapters to support the latest PCIe Gen 5.0 graphics cards". That's a lot of cable clutter to manage, and three PCIe 8-pin (6+2-pin) power connectors can only deliver up to 450W of power. 16-pin PCIe 5.0 power cables can deliver up to 600W of power, which is equivalent to four 8-pin PCIe power cables.
Gigabyte has claimed that their new UD1000GM 1000W power supply is the "best choice for high-end gamers and overclockers", citing its high power limits and PCIe 5.0 GPU compatibility. That means that next-generation PSUs will require a lot of power, especially within the high-end market.
