If you pay shipping and handling. http://www.bit-tech.net/news/hardware/2016/10/04/evga-free-powerlink/1
Well that's a piss take isn't it - buy one of our £700 graphics cards and instead of giving you something free in the box we'll give it to you free as long as you pay us more money.
Also going by my last experience with EVGA, if you buy two, you'll pay double shipping and they'll send it to you in the same box...
So they're asking for shipping? which means they're making money out of it. Shame, but what usually puts me off buying from EVGA. I bought a Titan X back plate for £1, the shipping was £17.
Those shipping / handling costs are a joke, but it's not like this is some vital piece of equipment that everyone simply has to have. Just don't "buy" one
There's at least one other competitor to this coming and they'll all be 'premium accessories', like premium SLI bridges.
It wouldn't be so bad if it was €5 or €6 as that's probably what it would cost them to ship to the UK from Europe but €15 is taking the proverbial
Yep. Why don't all these big companies have a small base here. Corsair have finally done that with Scan.
Well I literally designed my case around the PCIE power cables so they'd be useless to me now any way.
The EVGA ones? I paid about that for my 3 way EVGA bridges. I used them for two way as they were the length I wanted. Also. I wouldn't go so far as calling this an outright scam because people are free to choose if they want one or not. However, how do you sell something that as pointed out costs about ten pence to pretty much every user of a 1080? offer them something free, then pocket a few quid from the postage and "handling". Gotta say it's very clever.
This is more like a premium gimmick. I dont see the point of this thing. The practical approach 'd be a perpendicular soft version of 8pin or 6+2 pin attachment like those sata cables.
