News NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 & RTX 4080 16GB/12GB max TGP and GPU clocks specs have been leaked

The 'default' is 450W....and can be raised by BIOS to 660W(!). Hence all the rumors of crazy power draw.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 & RTX 4080 16GB/12GB max TGP and GPU clocks specs have been leaked - VideoCardz.com

NVIDIA RTX 4090 reportedly with maximum TGP at 660W Multiple sources have now confirmed upcoming desktop NVIDIA cards. We combined specs for upcoming RTX 40 GPUs from multiple sources of ours, but also reports from kopite7kimi and Chiphell who confirm some parts of them. What is new is the...

I'll skip, I care too much about Earth-chan

 

[PoneG]

i'm more concerned about the costs. buying the cards first and then the electricity bill...

And EVGA just noped out ...

End-vidia ... that's quite worrying. Hope Intel will succeed and become the third player in the GPU industry

Considering I'm not going to budge from my B550 setup for a while, this is a bit worrying, the rumoured RTX 4050 and RTX 4060 are only going to be PCIE Gen 4 x8: https://www.kitguru.net/components/...ry-level-gpus-may-only-feature-8x-pcie-lanes/

This has me more worried about this next gen of nvidia bs

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40 Series PCIe Gen 5 Power Adapters Have a Limited Connect & Disconnect Life of 30 Cycles

The PCIe Gen 5 12VHPWR connector may have a limited connect & disconnect life cycle on NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 40 series graphics cards.

So you spend the $$$$$$$$$$ on a gpu and have a good chance to screw the card up permanently (or have it short out an catch on fire) if you just.... normally plug an unplug your gpu power cable to say..... clean it normally for dust (cause lets face it dust happens even with filters but this is a 4090 your gonna run no filters to keep this thing "cool")

Jays2Cents did a video about this...on set, during recording, he said the plug got noticeably harder to seat/unseat just in 10x cycles. Which is insane. A connector that fragile should be made very differently--and is IMO a failure of engineering.

You can have connectors made for a limited number of connection cycles, there's nothing wrong with that when it is expected to only be needed for replacement. Many connectors in the car industry are specced like that I would guess. I'm guessing Nvidia decided on a connector type that only is disconnected a few times in it's lifetime. When troubleshooting, this becomes a problem, so I guess Nvidia must think their products extremely rarely fail and require no maintenance like cleaning. Also, they don't want people to resell their cards so they can just ignore that as well.
