GALAX’s GeForce RTX 5080 HOF Extreme Has Two 12V-2x6 Connectors

GALAX has launched the GeForce RTX 5080 HOF Extreme, which the source describes as the first GeForce RTX 5080 with two 16-pin power connectors. The enthusiast-grade graphics card has a 400W total graphics power (TGP) rating and 20+4 power phases.

The source says higher-end RTX 50 series GPUs generally have a single 12V-2x6 connector, with some premium RTX 5090 variants as exceptions. It notes that the RTX 5090’s higher power rating can make one connector a potential limit for specially designed overclocked editions that can consume well over 600W.

By comparison, the GeForce RTX 5080 has more modest power consumption, according to the source. The dual-connector design is the standout feature of GALAX’s HOF Extreme card, although the source does not provide further specifications or explain how the connectors affect performance.
