It's so r-slurred that it made me angry
Yes, let's send 800W across water-thin copper on the motherboard and through a PCI-e plated edge connector (that can't handle the power). The changes to PCB stack up to even barely facilitate that will be painfully costly.
Let's make a PCI-e connector that can deal with the power - it's a c*nt to click in and it's a specialised design with low initial volumes so it's financial suicide for any OEM. And for what gain?
You route the fricking power direct to the card from the PSU through a cable. Same reason power cables on the mobo go close to where they're needed most. Direct is cheaper.
It only introduces problems. Anon is so fricking r-slurred omfg
