To move packets you need power, but how much can you draw from an interface? PCI Express Cards Consumption Limit PCIe has been around for a long time, since 2003, and many people know the maximum power draw of 75W per PCIe slot, but is it that simple? The short answer is no, but let’s have a look into the spec. It states that all cards can consume up to 3A on the 3.3 V power rail with the following restrictions applying: x1 cards: 0,5A on 12V, but overall consumption limit is 10W x4 – x16 cards: 2,1A on 12V, but overall consumption limit is 25W  But
