I had to wait for today’s article till I had data on enough ATX v3.0 PSUs equipped with 12VHPWR connectors. Although none of today’s graphics cards has high enough power spikes to justify the tough ATX v3.0 requirements for power excursions, as it calls them, no one knows what the future GPUs will bring. You can read more on the ATX v3.0 specification in this article. We also have an English section in our discord server if you have any questions.
UPDATED 20 March 2023
There are two essential things that PSUs need to be added to our best picks to be available on the market and excel in terms of performance and reliability. Given their price tag, their build quality should also be the best possible.
