GeForce RTX 5080 can consume 400W and be 10% above the RTX 4090

The hardware market can expect big news from NVIDIA with the next generation of graphics cards, especially with the GeForce RTX 5080 model. This is because it promises not only a significant increase in power consumption, but also superior performance compared to its predecessor.

The information was released by Kopite7kimi, a reliable source in the hardware leak scene, in a publication published this week. According to the information, the GeForce RTX 5080 is designed to consume around 400 watts of power.

This represents an 80-watt increase over the RTX 4080, and 150 watts more than the RTX 4090. This data suggests a significant advance in terms of energy capacity and performance of the new cards.

GeForce RTX rumors and specs

Kopite7kimi also confirmed that the RTX 5080 should see a 10% performance boost over the RTX 4090. However, it was not specified whether this performance gain applies to all metrics, such as rasterization and ray tracing, or just one of them.

It is important to note that there is still some uncertainty regarding the type of power consumption measurement mentioned: whether it refers to TDP (Thermal Design Power) or TGP (Total Graphics Power). This distinction is crucial to understanding the real impact of increased consumption on the device’s functionality and heating.

The rumored GeForce RTX 50 series suggests significant changes to NVIDIA’s lineup. The GeForce RTX 5090 model is expected to have a 600W TDP, representing a 150W increase over the RTX 4090. The RTX 5080 is also projected to have a 400W TDP, which would be 80W more than the RTX 4080.

Additionally, the RTX 5070 and RTX 5060 would have a TDP of 220W and 170W, with increases of 20W and 55W, respectively, compared to their predecessors. The GeForce RTX 5050 model will maintain a TDP of 100W. It is worth noting that the TDP may vary depending on the specific model and can be adjusted manually.
