Recently Ada Lovelace Nvidia RTX 4080 and 4090 graphics cards, powered by its architecture, were introduced. Some claims were made about the power consumption of the Nvidia RTX 40 series. Nvidia made a statement about the claims made about the new models.
Nvidia, which came up with Ada Lovelace architecture, announced that they achieved up to 4 times better performance with almost the same TDP in new generation graphics cards. The Nvidia RTX 4090 model will run 4 times faster than its predecessor with a power consumption of 450W.
Nvidia: “850W power supply will be enough for RTX 4090.”
Nvidia, which prepared a frequently asked questions page after the allegations made, shared some information such as minimum power consumption and connector durability. Removing the question marks in the minds of users, the company also touched on the claims of overcurrent problem.
According to the information shared by the company, the Nvidia RTX 4090 model has a TDP of 450W. The 16 GB version of the RTX 4080 will consume 320W, while the 12 GB version will consume 285W. It is recommended to use RTX 4090 with 850W, 16GB RTX 4080 with 750W and 12GB RTX 4080 with 700W power supply.
NVIDIA GeForce 517.48 driver released! Here’s what’s new
NVIDIA fixed issues that occurred while improving performance in certain games with the GeForce 517.48 driver update.
Another important issue after power consumption is 16-pin PCIe Gen 5 adapter compatibility. Nvidia announced that users must convert 8-pin connectors according to PCIe Gen 5 (ATX 3.0) guidelines.
Responding to the claims about PCIe 5.0 connectors, Nvidia underlined that the materials used are durable. Stating that non-ATX 3.0 power supplies are not risky in terms of overcurrent and overpower, the company recommended using products of known brands.
