Probably not since EVGA is not making any 4000 series or any other GPUs anymore.

That means the 4090 would need just 2x 8-pin connectors from the PSU? I thought the adapter has 3x 8-pin for the 4090? I know the 'extra' 4-pin plug on the 12-pin side is just for comms from the GPU to the PSU but as far as power delivery is concerned, especially when OC'd, would the 2x 8-pin connectors from the PSU be enough for the 4090 (when OC'd)?
 
We need an OFFICIAL answer from EVGA. I have the EVGA 1600T2 PSU (2 of them actually) and a couple of PerFE cables that I use with the 3090 Ti's.
 
Will the PerFE cable suffice for the RTX 4090 (Founder's Edition) and will the 1600T2 PSU work properly with this GPU?

will evga be offering a cable like corsair

Corsair releases 12+4 pin 12VHPWR power connectors to upgrade their existing PSUs

So this cable https://www.evga.com/products/product.aspx?pn=100-NK-3000-B9 will or will not work for a 4090? Do we have a 100% solid answer for this?

I’ve already done a tear down of the 3x8 pin to show that in the end, there is only two cables worth of wires connected to the 12 pin side. The quantity of cables powering the card with 3 connectors versus two does not change, there is still only 12 cables overall going to the 12 pin. This is why the PerFE cable works fine for the 3090ti and will likely be exactly the same for the 4090.

Changing the male connector to a smaller pin, and the female connector to a smaller pin isn’t going to suddenly make a 16awg wire handled hundreds of watt as more. 12 cables is 12 cables, no matter how you look at it. Two 6 pins from the PerFE cable is going to be the same as 12 cables from a 12 pin. The only difference from the Standard 8 pin and the PerFE cable is that instead of 5 ground and 3 positive, you are getting 3 ground and 3 positive like the 12 pin uses respectively. The 4 sense pins are just ground for the card to think it has a 12 pin, there isn’t actual information exchange to tell the GPU or PSU that the proper hardware is being used.

NVidia patented a connector so the change they wanted to see, and changed the rating of the same size cable that was already in use. As long as you have a sufficient power supply, you should be perfectly fine.

Feel free to argue this point all you want. Again, the 8 pins are rated for a 2008 spec. That doesn’t stop users from under-specced or under-rated PSU with four 8 pins.

You are arguing a completely moot point. The 12 pin is using two 6 pins in a smaller format, and a higher rating. Nothing more. The sense pins can be tricked by grounding them anyway possible. The sense pins are not smart and do not know what is actually happening.

The PerFE cable only uses two 6 pins. The other two spots on each “8 pin” are empty.

The Corsair cables for the 4090 only use 6 power cables from each “8pin” and the. Two grounds to sense pin. That is still only two 6 pins providing power to the 4090. Feel free to argue that however you want, but NVidia and PCI-sig are LITERALLY covering their bums with lies and “specs”. The four 8 pins are combined together on single rails, and still only have twelve 16awg cables providing power with two sense pins for ground. The four 8 pin cable does have a smart availing to send a signal and say “three” or “four” cables are connected. Guess what. If you only connected three cables on each of those 8 pins, the plugs wouldn’t have an idea, because all of the power cables going into the octopus are joined together on a single rail.

Again, feel free to argue moot points, but it will fall on deaf ears because it doesn’t matter what you argue while the PSU manufacturers have already shown it does.. not.. matter.

Which is probably why it's a good thing we're working on a cable that can work with 40 Series....

Question for EVGATech_LeeM this might be too niche of a product but can we get a right angle adapter that has a 450w/600w selector switch where the adapter will ground the correct sense pins for the graphics card.  that way the current EVGA PerFE 12 Cable owners can plug into it and use their existing cable and it can also function as a right angle adapter for the new cable hopefully it is named the EVGA PerFE 16. i mostly added the part about the selector switch because i don't know if the PerFe 12 is designed to handle 600 watts if it is no need for the switch even if it is setup as a 450w adapter it will be fine my 4090 is still awesome without the overclock.
