So those rumored 50-60% gains in gaming could easily be possible if we’re getting like 25% increases in the power use.
Going to need a bigger power connector.
Maybe I’m out of touch but perhaps focus on efficiency and optimization again? Just a thought
Meh, not that shocking. People willing to spend $1500+ for a GPU are likely willing to have a PSU that can handle a 500-550w GPU, even if most of us think that’s stupid. The 4080S and 4080 TDP are already 320w, which is not exactly small.
If the 5070 delivers performance somewhere in the neighborhood of the 4080 or 4080S at 220w, that’s still a pretty awesome improvement, and given Nvidia’s pricing for the last several generations, odds are most “normal” buyers won’t be looking at anything past the 5070 anyway.
They called me a madman for buying a 1000w PSU
At this poin they should just hook up the gfx card in the mains.
Next news: water is wet!
Laughs in 980 ti.
The current 4090 actually runs at 350w when power limited correctly with maybe a 5fps loss. I am expecting the same thing for these new cards. They can run at crazy watts, but it provides very little gain.
Nvidia saw the memes of People who joked about the GPU being plugged directly into the wall socket and said hold my beer.
I can turn my office into an oven now. At this rate I’m going to need to have an actual AC hooked up and venting outside.
A high quality 850W PSU is going to be just fine
They’re going to have to convert to 24V architecture if they want to keep this up.
Basically, it’s overclocked RTX 40?
The connectors are already melting on the 4090 and they want to increase the power draw by 100W. I’m calling the disaster now, you’ve been warned.
Every PC after an hour of gameplay
Am I the only one to see an Integrated Power System arrangement with parallel power supplies that load balance, intelligence on the power buss and power rollback when one ( OR MORE!!!) power supplies throttle or fail???
Starting to feel like some kind of CNC “system”…
I’m looking forward to the 60-series “Icarus” GPUs.
Laughs in no PC because I sold mine to survive after the house fire 😞 (rip my flair)
But why are they doing this? It should be same power and more performance or even better, less power and more performance.
Ah, it’s that time during the generational cycle where wild claims about power usage come out of the woodwork every other day with nothing more than “trust me bro” as the source.
Good times!!
Remember when a 500W PSU could power a Titan reasonably?
Nvidia used to brag about their power efficiency.
Does anyone actually check the power consumption numbers on what they buy? 😂
At this rate we’re going to need the 50-amp plugs from our ovens for our PCs. And we might not need our ovens anymore.
What are the ram amounts tonna be on the 70 abd 80s thats what i wanna know.
