This is a term that we often forget when we talk about graphics cards: the power consumption, which is nevertheless quite high. Obviously the next Nvidia RTX 4000 should consume more.
The TDP (thermal envelope) of the Nvidia Ada Lovelace graphics card generation (RTX 4000) should increase significantly. An important tip to know if your diet is holding up, if you are too narrow or, on the contrary, wide enough.
Another Twitter rumor made in Kopite7kimi for Nvidia
Again it is the Twitter user Kopite7kimi who comments on the subject with this message:
I don’t care about the actual release date. I’m just curious about the performance of the RTX 4060, which draws more power than the RTX 3070.
Additionally, the RTX 4090 is said to have a TDP of over 400W, and this latest leak suggests that the Nvidia RTX 4080 could also have a TDP of 420W. This RTX 4080 (PG139-SKU360) is said to represent a 100W increase over the Nvidia RTX 4080 RTX 3080s with comparable performance increases are also expected on the RTX 4070 and RTX 4060.
So the Nvidia RTX 4070 could have a consumption of 400W if NVIDIA (for example and coincidentally) uses the GDDR6X memory. The RTX 4060 should logically not exceed 220 watts.
All of this is yet to be confirmed, but what is certain is that the TDP side of the new Nvidia cards will see a serious boost, and when in doubt it’s better to have a good power supply under your elbow to prepare for this change.
