It looks like the new graphics card power connector coming with PCIe 5.0 is exactly the same 12-pin connector that Nvidia has been using for over a year in its reference GeForce RTX 30 adapters.
The Molex Micro-Fit 3.0 connector was found on the Asus ROG Thor 1000W Platinum II PSU. As the source notes, initially there was some confusion regarding the fact that the cable with the new connector that came with the modular power supply was an Nvidia Founders Edition cable. However, after speaking with Asus, they confirm that it is a PCIe 5.0 cable. There is still a possibility that the situation with the cable is due to some kind of confusion, but if this is not the case, then the connectors are indeed identical, and soon all video cards will have exactly the same.
Recall that it implies the ability to transmit up to 600 watts of power, so it should be enough for absolutely any video card, even taking into account the fact that the next generation adapters are credited with a TDP of about 400 watts.
