EVGA Power Link promises cleaner power for your GPU

EVGA reports that besides enhancing cable management, its Power Link device also cleans up the power delivered to your video card. Whether this is really worth $24.99 if your hard-earned money is questionable, but EVGA claims the two solid state capacitors in this enclosure will help to filter/suppress ripple and noise from the power supply.

The company did some internal testing and came up with the following tests results:
The practical impact can be seen in power graphs. We took an EVGA GeForce RTX 2080 and ran Unigine Heaven Benchmark, and you can see the difference: chart

The 12V line going into graphics card without a PowerLink™ under load rates a Peak-to-Peak voltage of 1,008mV, while the 12V line going into the graphics card with a PowerLink™ is only 728mV. That's nearly a 28% reduction in voltage variation from the external power source!
The Power Link has been available for quite some time now, but for some reason EVGA is now pushing it again with some fresh test results.
