Is ATX 3.1 and a native 12V-2x6 connector worth paying for?
Reviewer consensus
Reviewers broadly agree that a native 12V-2x6 (12VHPWR successor) cable is preferable to an adapter for modern Nvidia GPUs because it reduces the failure points associated with melting connectors. If you own or plan to buy an RTX 40/50-series card, the consensus leans toward buying an ATX 3.1 unit with the native cable rather than relying on a bundled adapter.
