FAQ

Which Graphics Cards are compatible with EVGA PowerLink?

Last Update: 1/17/2023 11:17 AM

EVGA PowerLink compatibility is not exclusive to a series of cards. If your graphics card(s) meets certain requirements, the PowerLink may be used, even if it's not on the officially-supported graphics card list below.

The PowerLink comes with two 8-pin PCI-E and one 6-pin PCI-E connectors. Owners of graphics cards that meet the requirements for the PowerLink that need two 6-pin PCI-E connectors will need to purchase a second 6-pin PCI-E connector from the EVGA store. Please note that these 6-pin connectors will be available as a separate purchase, and you will not need to purchase an additional PowerLink. Graphics cards on the officially-supported list requiring a second 6-pin PCI-E connector will be noted as such.

This list of officially-supported graphics cards is non-exclusive. We've compiled a list of 10-series and 900-series graphics cards that may be used with the PowerLink. However, the PowerLink may be used with cards not on this list, such as 700-series, 600-series, etc. We will show how to check if your graphics card is compatible with the PowerLink below. This list may not be updated when new graphics cards are released; instead, please check the explanation below the list to see if your card is compatible with the PowerLink.

**Please note that all ICX card models are compatible with the EVGA PowerLink**

*Cards marked with an asterisk require an additional 6-pin PCI-e connector sold at EVGA.com

The Maximum width that the connectors can be positioned is 48.6mm as shown by the photo below.



Generally, graphics cards with PCI-E connector configurations similar to these will be compatible:






Graphics cards with similar PCI-E configurations like this are compatible after
purchasing a second 6-pin PCI-e connector from EVGA.com:


Other graphics cards may be compatible with the PowerLink, but EVGA cannot officially support or confirm graphics cards manufactured by other companies will work properly with the PowerLink Generally speaking, graphics cards modeled after Nvidia reference designs looking similar to the pictures above may work.

There are other designs, however, which will not work. Here are some
images of PCI-E connector configurations that will not work with the PowerLink:

Graphics cards with three or more sets of PCI-E connectors:


Graphics cards with the PCI-E connectors well-offset from the edge of the graphics card:


Graphics cards with the PCI-E connector on the short side of the PCB:


Graphics cards where any of the PCI-E connectors are set such that the tab/clip portion of the
connector faces the PCB (compare the PCI-E connector in the photo below to any of the other photos):



Bear in mind that EVGA Powerlink is designed and intended for EVGA graphics cards. There is no guaranteed compatibility with other manufacturers nor can EVGA fully confirm support on other manufacturers products.
