NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Features 575 W TDP, RTX 5080 Carries 360 W TDP

10 extra FPS on a 4090 at 120% power? That sounds like a total waste to me. No offense.

On a lower class card, the differences are even smaller.
10 fps is huge when you're going from 30 to 40, 50 to 60, etc, especially in 4k ultra settings. Trust me, the difference is massive especially for some of the highest demanding games I've mentioned.

We're talking about a 4090 here. When does it do 30 FPS in any game?
 
Cyberpunk goes down to 30ish with path tracing, but most aaa open world/ish games run from 60 to 90 fps 4k epic with RT
But then, that 30 doesn't suddenly become 40 by increasing the power limit by 20%, does it?
 
The previous 8-pin were rated for 150W but could actually sustain 300W on each cable. Whereas the 12VHPWR is rated for 600W but its max power draw before melting is 630W... definitely not as safe as the old 8-pin certification was for sure.
1200W for a GPU would be nonsense though. I hope we never get there! It's going to create so much heat...
I'm running 4x8 pin original adapter with my 4090 Sup X OC on a 1000w psu, never had a issue. No one needs a 1600w psu. 1000w is fine for 5090, unless you oc the crap out of an Intel cpu. I'm going to be using same 1000w psu for 5090 (mast likely a Suprim X) with the 4x8 pin adapter as long as it's one connector or comes with it's own adapter. I don't think my PC has ever hit anything above 800-850 max spike.

But then, that 30 doesn't suddenly become 40 by increasing the power limit by 20%, does it?
No, but it does with OC of clocks and memory. I'm not gonna get that with less power either, maybe, but won't be stable probably.

Let's wait and see for the reveal tomorrow... but I'm betting on 50% in Raster & 60-70% in RT/PT !
That would be a massive upgrade if true. I don't remember 3090 to 4090 was that high, but could be wrong, been a while.

Ok 1999 isnt too bad, kinda expected. The problem is, aibs will be 2100 to maybe 2500, looking at you strix
 
Great AC keeps room temp just the same.
So impact is 0c in room temps because of that.


U dont know what AC is,right?
its not a Hevy band..


U should know Energy Efficiency and power usage is 2 dif things.

Maxwell and pascal is just bad..
4000 series is most energy efficient gpus there is Atm

Power usage and performance =Energy Efficiency

If GPU use +300w or more that dosent mean it cant be Energy Efficient

Rtx4090 +350w gpu is more Efficient than Rtx3050

At this point you are too stupid to even realize you are stupid.

Oh yeah I know I had a Corsair AX 1500i and it was working perfectly with it too! But with GPUs now going over 600W we might need 2x 16-pin or 8x 8-pin that would be insane lol.

Yeah but it's confirmed 4x8 for 5090 and 3x8 for 5080. So it's good. As ugly as 4x8 is, it's still safer than a single cable, especially with what happened.
 
But you don't game on your Sharp II Carousel microwave for several hours at a time. It also doesn't dump any extra heat into your PC case.

Just saying... ;)


I don't know how it's on Nvidia now. The last card I had from them was a 2070. On that, TDP was GPU chip only power.

On AMD, TDP is total card power.


Oh, what a bleak, materialistic look on the world! I'm astonished.
Well It's right next to my computer. It is hooked up to the same powerstrip... Same goes to my minifridge. I play games, do work while Zapping something akin to spicy nachos (or somethin akin to flaming textured Bondo) so its just another additional component for my rig (just like external storage) and quality of life (or lack there of). My morphine drip of wakefulness (ala lots of effing coffee) helps down the flaming nachos of doom, or those mini market hotdogs.

I eat this crap because at times I do not have time to eat right while I'm creating content.

So we just have to different components to make us productive and happy :)

Annyhow my Burrito is almost done.

Here's a video :) Enjoy.


ADDED: I've seen the PCB Board for this Video Card. Man they have gotten real cheap cramming verything into smaller and smaller PCB boards without taking into consideration of heat/longevity. Serious Planned Obsolescence. IMHO and I have stated many times before. The quality of components from today's tech companies are getting to be concerning to me.

Well the new spec "should be safer" we'll have to wait and see. But the good news is that since Nvidia updates the connector to the v2 on their RTX 4090 there have not been many issues. So let's hope it will stay this way!

Yeah we'll see. I'm just not buying an atx 3.0 psu just for a new gpu, so I'll stick with 4x8 pin adapter lol. We all know 5090 isn't gonna pass 500w max at any game anyways.

We'll have to wait & see... the reason why the RTX 40s are so efficient is because the RTX 30s were on a cheap node (Samsung 8nm) whereas the RTX 40s are on a much more advanced node (TSMC 4N), but the RTX 50s are on a very similar node to 4nm so they will have to use more power, even if Blackwell is more efficient than Lovelace (perf/watt).
 
If you actually had an IQ above room temperature then you would realize how dumb the nonsense that you claim actually is.
So u have never seen AC in u life? and u dont know what it is? or how it works? Are u serious? lol
Or are u jealous because i can cool of my house? Wtf realy, if i set room temps 20c then it is 20c all the time, even its summer 30c and running 10x5090 24/7 100% usage it will be 20c if i want to.

End of story and now i ignoring u, try gogle if u dont know what AC is, Have a nice day

I guess you're controlling temperatures within your PC chassis with an AC, too.

He bought an AC just for his PC lol. He put it right in front apparently :laugh:
