The new generation graphics card NVIDIA RTX 5090 was a long-awaited device in the technology world. However, this expectation seems to have been 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 of 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 drew attention with its 450W power consumption, the increase to 600W with the RTX 5090 showed that gamers and professionals will need more powerful and efficient power supplies. In addition, other members of NVIDIA’s new RTX 50 series also show similar increases 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 RTX 5060 draws 170W, a 55W increase over the previous generation. While this power increase is exciting for performance-seeking users, it also raises some concerns in terms of electricity bills and cooling requirements.

Higher power consumption also means larger and more effective cooling solutions, which will take up more space inside our cases. So how much performance gain does such high power consumption provide?

According to 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 these new generation cards from NVIDIA are exciting, especially for performance enthusiasts, it is curious how attractive these aggressive increases in power consumption will be for general users.

But one thing is certain: the RTX 5090 is a true powerhouse that pushes the limits of performance. What do you think? You can leave your opinions in the comments section below.
