NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40 Series Graphics Cards Rumored to use more than 450 watts

Is your power supply ready for NVIDIA’s next-gen GeForce RTX 40 Series graphics cards? Well, you probably need a new PSU with at least a 1000W, plus support for PCIE 5.0 *sign*

Taken from Videocardz … The RTX 40 series based on Ada Lovelace graphics architecture is now expected to launch by the end of the third quarter, leaker Greymon55 revealed in one of his tweets. This new architecture has been rumored for a long time to increase power requirements to insane levels, even higher than RTX 3090 Ti now expected to be 450W GPU.

The next-gen GeForce series will make use of a new PCIe Gen5 power connector other rumors have suggested. This alone might be the reason for NVIDIA’s lack of incentive to lower the power requirements of the new cards. The flagship RTX 40 series, such as the rumored RTX 4080/4080Ti/4090 GPUs, might consume between 450W to 850W.

Kopite7Kimi confirms that there were indeed rumors about 450-800W power consumption for next-gen NVIDIA GPUs, however, they should be taken with a grain of salt as this source has questionable credibility (50%).
