GALAX has unveiled the specifications for its GeForce RTX 5080 Hall Of Fame Extreme edition graphics card, the only RTX 5080 model featuring two 12V-2x6 power connectors. Interestingly, the card has a TGP of 400 W, and the official GALAX announcement states that the two power connectors are not required for simultaneous use. Instead, they are offered as alternatives to suit different PC builds and cable management preferences. One standard connector is located on the top of the GPU, in the usual spot. The second 12V-2x6 power cable is positioned at the bottom of the card, concealed behind a GPU shroud near the PCIe x16 connector. This serves as an alternative power supply, allowing system builders to hide visible cables for a cleaner look.
For the GPU itself, GALAX has implemented a 20-phase power delivery system for the GPU and a 4-phase power delivery design for the GDDR7 memory, along with a digital PWM controller, eFuse, and HOF-branded inductors. All of this is mounted on a customized white PCB with gold plating on key connections. In OC Mode, which raises the TGP to 400 W, the GPU clock speed reaches 2,805 MHz. In regular Gaming Mode, the TGP is reduced to NVIDIA's reference 360 W, with clock speeds at 2,655 MHz. Since the 12V-2x6 connector is sufficient for these TGP designs, a second power source is unnecessary. GDDR7 memory is running at 30 Gbps on a 256-bit memory bus for a total of 960 GB/s memory bandwidth.[](https://www.techpowerup.com/img/KOfMTlteXqEDdECm.jpg) [](https://www.techpowerup.com/img/O0BPP3HEHc5AHF2y.jpg) [](https://www.techpowerup.com/img/RBWtY9WSyyW5oREq.jpg) [](https://www.techpowerup.com/img/fpBoRxapqDEo5igY.jpg)Read full story
