It is well known that the RTX 4090 requires a lot of power, so much so that the RTX 4090 connector cable has caused problems and manufacturers have had to look for alternatives. What if someone wanted to nurture no more and no less than four models? A professional or specialized rendering farm Artificial Intelligence could have that need, and for this the manufacturer FSP has announced its power supply capable of nourishing four of those beasts.
FSP's upcoming Cannon Pro 2500W power supply will feature 80 Plus Platinum certification, standard ATX 3.1 specifications, and an improved PCIe Gen5 connector. All this with the capacity to offer 2500 W.
An FSP source will allow powering four RTX 4090
NVIDIA and other power supply manufacturers have started installing a newer version of the 12VHWPR connector, called 12V-2×6. Its changes are mostly cosmetic, and those power supplies are available in PCIe Gen5 format, in addition to the fact that the new cables and connectors should be fully compatible with each other. Regarding the cables, they have been designed to offer more security with a better clamping mechanism and shorter sensor pins to limit cases of connector melting due to incorrect installation.
The FSP Cannon Pro stands out for its have three 6+2-pin PCIe connectors and four PCIe 12V-2×6 connectors. This number of connectors, and that power factor, allows you to power up to four units of RTX 4090 graphics cards. Five if the rest of the standard PCIe cables are used.
This Cannon Pro 2500W from FSP is a fully modular power supply, allowing flexibility when choosing configurations. By power, it allows you to use a single RTX 4000, and an entire PC, without having many cables in between. With that large amount of power, It is expected to be compatible with future RTX 5000, although NVIDIA has the idea of making its consumption double to achieve the highest amount of FPS and resolution in games with ray tracing.
