NVIDIA RTX 5090 power consumption rivals an oven!

The NVIDIA RTX 5090 graphics card's performance has attracted attention as much as its power consumption. Details in our news...

The new generation graphics card NVIDIA RTX 5090 was a long-awaited device in the technology world. However, this expectation seems to have reversed. Because the graphics card is now on the agenda not only with its performance but also with its power consumption. According to new leaks, the RTX 5090 consumes a full 600W power. This means a 33% increase compared to the RTX 4090. Here are the details...

NVIDIA RTX 5090 consumes a full 600W power

While the RTX 4090 already attracted attention with its 450W power consumption, the fact that this figure increased to 600W with the RTX 5090 showed that more powerful and efficient power supplies will be needed for gamers and professionals. In addition, other members of NVIDIA's new RTX 50 series also show a similar increase in power consumption.

For example, the NVIDIA RTX 5080's power consumption has increased to 400W, while the RTX 5070 draws 220W. The more modest option, the RTX 5060, consumes 170W, which is a 55W increase over the previous generation. While this power increase is exciting, especially for users looking for performance, it also brings with it some concerns in terms of electricity bills and cooling requirements.

Higher power consumption also brings with it larger and more effective cooling solutions, which will take up more space in our cases. So how much of a gain in performance does such a high power consumption provide?

According to the leaked information, the NVIDIA RTX 5080 will offer a 10-15% performance increase compared to the RTX 4090. However, this gain is not the only factor that users will consider when choosing these cards. While NVIDIA’s new generation of cards is exciting, especially for performance enthusiasts, it remains to be seen how attractive these aggressive power consumption increases will be to mainstream users.

But one thing is certain: the RTX 5090 is a powerhouse that pushes the limits of performance.
