Videocardz has done it again: pictures of the reference boards for the RTX 3090 and RTX 3080 have leaked out. The leaks once again confirm that only the founders edition cards will have an irregularly shaped PCB and we will get the usual rectangular shape (albiet highly compacted) with the AIB RTX 3080 and RTX 3090s. Interestingly we are also seeing standard power connectors for the AIB variants - which means you do not need to get the 12 pin unless you are going founders!

Videocardz compiled pictures of three PCBs: the RTX 3080 Founders Edition, RTX 3080 AIB and RTX 3090 AIB. The AIB cards feature dual 8-pin connecctors and the board numbers are PG132-10 and PG132-30 respectively as we have already leaked exclusively before. Interestingly, only the RTX 3090 has support for dual-GPU connections. Considering almost no one uses NVIDIA SLI anymore its not really surprising to see the company save precious space on the PCB for more useful circuitry.
