I don't think thats correct. Nvidia used that connector first and then a similar PCI spec came out. Compatibility is limited. See https://www.hwcooling.net/en/n

- fredoralive 2y agoI'd forgotten about the weird 30 series case, but the 40/50 series ones are the PCI spec connector.
- kllrnohj 2y agoBeing a PCI spec connector doesn't mean it isn't an Nvidia thing. It seems pretty likely at this point that Nvidia forced this through, seeing as there's zero other users of this connector. Convincing PCI spec consortium to rubber stamp it probably wasn't very hard for Nvidia to do.
