650W with a 2.5-ish slot 3 fan cooler?
That thing is gonna be loud!
Unless… that’s just ASRock boasting about the power delivery for (unrealized) OC potential of the card.
I didn’t even notice this when reading the article. That’s got to be an error.
x2 8 pin would 300 W + 75 W from the connector. No way it’s 650 W with such a setup.
Probably referring to recommended PSU capacity
It’s too bad the price did not leak. If the price is truly competitive (not like with AMD that generally offers a minor discount to comparable Nvidia SKUs), this could be a (more) compelling offer especially with rumors that Nvidia are going to crazy with prices for Blackwell.
It’s like the old saying goes, there are no bad products, just bad prices.
There are definitely bad products.
idk, hopefully it’s not shit.
