NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 50 “Blackwell” Gaming GPUs’ preliminary TDPs have been disclosed. Seasonic Wattage Calculator has also listed the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 50 “Blackwell” gaming GPUs. The manufacturer lists five models: GeForce RTX 5090, RTX 5080, RTX 5070, RTX 5060, and RTX 5050.
Seasonic shared information about NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 50 Gaming GPU series
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 will replace RTX 4090. Currently, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 has a TDP of 450W, and the next-generation model is expected to have a TDP of 500W. NVIDIA is working on new cooling solutions for flagship models like RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 Blackwell, aiming to achieve higher power levels.
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 is listed with a 350W TDP, marking an increase compared to the 320W TDP for GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER and RTX 4080. This represents a 30W increase in TDP. RTX 4080 SUPER was unaffected by increases in core count and memory specifications. However, the new Blackwell core may require more power to deliver increased performance. Here is a preview of the “Blackwell” Gaming GPU TDPs:
NVIDIA's AI GPU supply chain has recovered from tough times. This means products can now be easily shipped without orders piling up.
| GPU NAME | TDP | PREDECESSOR | TDP | DIFFERENCE |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| RTX 5090 | 500W | RTX 4090 | 450W | +11% |
| RTX 5080 | 350W | RTX 4080 | 320W | +9.3% |
| RTX 5070 | 220W | RTX 4070 | 200W | +10% |
| RTX 5060 | 170W | RTX 4060 Ti | 160W | +6.2% |
| RTX 5050 | 100W | RTX 4060 | 115W | -13% |
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 is listed at 220W, matching the TDP of RTX 4070 SUPER but showing a 20W increase over the Non-SUPER variant. NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 is listed at 170W, which is 55W higher compared to RTX 4060.
Lastly, RTX 5050 is listed at 100W. Since there was no RTX 4050 in the previous series, we can infer that this model will replace RTX 4060 and RTX 5060 will replace RTX 4060 Ti. It’s premature to confirm the accuracy of all the data shared by Seasonic. NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 50 “Blackwell” Gaming GPUs are expected to be introduced later this year.
