Enthusiasts who will be upgrading to one of ZOTAC’s GeForce RTX 4090 graphics cards and plan to use the included 4x 8-pin-to-12VHPWR cable may want to plug and unplug their new hardware sparingly. The cable happens to have a very limited service life, according to the product specifications that ZOTAC has shared for its GeForce RTX 4090 models, including those for the premium GeForce RTX 40 AMP Extreme AIRO, which states “up to 30 connect/disconnects.”
