Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1070 Ti Gaming photo Surfaces
A photo of the Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1070 Ti Gaming has surfaced on the web. The 1070 Ti is expected to launch later this month.
It was videocardz who snagged the photos, the card is claimed to be in the G1 Gaming series and would not be a factory tweaked model. The card has been fitted with a single 8-pin power connector and comes with DVI, 3x and a HDMI connected. The card has a Windforce triple-fan cooler and a back-plate. Check the photos below, no final specs have been mentioned.

I didn’t say pcie slot I said the PCIe 8pin.
If you want evidence look up how much amperage a 16 gauge or 18 ga wire will handle and multiply that by 12v. Times that by 3(6pin and 8pin have 3 12v wires) and you’ll get total wattage that’s possible.
~250W (7A x 3 x 12V)
Depending on the implementation specifics (type of core insulation, heat dissipation, ambient temp)

Depending on the implementation specifics (type of core insulation, heat dissipation, ambient temp)
Of course there are other things to consider like conductors etc, but 3 wires on 18ga each can theoretically supply 10amps each, times 12v.
That would be a theoretical limit of 360watts for both 6pin and 8pin(both have same amount of 12v wires,)
For 16ga wires, that amperage is increased to 13amps. 13x3x12.
That's a theoretical limit of 468w.
Depending on amount of current carrying conductors it could be less, but at least here, the worry about a single 8pin not supplying enough current is non issue.

yeah 10A, my bad...Still, there is a reason why PCI-E standard sets 75/150W limit for add in boards power connectors.
I forgot it, and I don't feel like reading boring PDF again. Heat proly and then some safety margin.
Come to think of it, nah... not heat over wires... I dunno/

They do that for 2 reasons.
Cheap power supplies have cheap components.
You also have to look at GPUs themselves.
GPUs that have cheap circuitry as well.
Not all are built to the same quality obviously.
I ran a titan kepler on h20 highly overclocked, utilised 600w under full load.
8pin and a 6pin.
Never had any issues.

@Agent-A01 said 8pin can pull well over 150W safely, but would be good to see some evidence/links for this. Otherwise I think this card needs another connector.

It’s basic electrical engineering, you don’t need some random dude online for “evidence”
As for pcie slot. No you do not want to see more than 75w.
Most boards are not designed to supply more than that and are limited by the small traces(basically very thin wires). Small ga wires have less amperage support.
Draw more than the wire supports will cause significantly more heat through those traces which is why that amd debacle started
