The 12-pin power connector may have been removed from the RTX 3070 Founders Edition. The card remains out of stock in most countries, but NVIDIA has tweeted a marketing photo clearly showing the card with the conventional 8-pin connector.

Just letting you know my FE that came last week still has the 12-pin and an adapter in box.
The 3070 FE I bought roughly 3 weeks ago still had the 12-pin connector. Makes sense tho to get rid of it if it isn't actually necessary. What we need is a new mini pcie connector for the next gen cards, or a type of connector that delivers more power. It will get cumbersome having 4 standard pcie connectors connected to a single card.

Besides any warranty you might have, depending on your country you might have protection by its laws for some time since purchase for getting reimbursement from your vendor, whom you prove the purchase.
