The final answer is nvidia fucked up and should of used 4 8 pins for the 4090 and there’s no other answer
Reminder, the 3090 FE used two 8-pins and was a 350W card. If they were going to use 8-pins on the 4090, they could have just used 3 at 450W.
It wouldn't hit 600W as the current 4090 does but it would still have more headroom than the 3090 did.
