Previously, insiders began to report that NVIDIA RTX 50 video cards would be more power hungry than their predecessors from the RTX 40 line, and now sources have begun to provide more specific data on this issue. The data, it should be said, is quite interesting.
So we’re told that the RTX 5090 will require a whopping 600W of power versus the RTX 4090’s 450W, and the RTX 5080 will ask for 400W versus the RTX 4080’s 320W.
Kopite7Kimi also says that early rumors about the RTX 5070 with 220W of consumption are also not true, and the video card will require more power. Other sources indicate 240-250W.
As for the release dates of new NVIDIA video cards, everything points to January-February 2025 and the announcement of new products at CES 2025.
