Ever since NVIDIA introduced its Graphic card top of the range RTX 4090The media have speculated a lot about it. Highlighting two key issues: power and consumption. The question in which amd managed to surpass them in this generation.
And while the world held its breath before the release of the first tests of the RTX 4090: performance tests in video games, professional programs and benchmarks. NVIDIA I decided to clarify how things are with the power supply, the power supply and the watts that we need.
And the answer is that no need to have one ATX 3.0 power supply with PCIe 5.0 power connectors (known as 12VHPWR) to power a green company graphics card.
Current ATX 2.0 power supplies will continue to work flawlessly with any NVIDIA RTX 4000 model.Although, with that said, the PSU should be powerful enough to drive the GPU just like any other graphics card, be it AMD or Intel.
All of this information is offered in the form of a new FAQ where NVIDIA reminds us that it ships with next generation Lovelace GPUs. power adapter that allows you to connect ATX 2.0 power supplieswhich is in the same field as the graph.
Current sources will be able with RTX 4090
NVIDIA stipulated that the owners The RTX 4090 must have an 850W PSU or more.. For RTX 4080 16GB, 750W requirementand a few below for the option 12 GB RTX 4080, which requires only 700 watts.
As NVIDIA points out, andThese next generation GPU power requirements are not much different from current generation RTX 3000 models.i.e. 750W for the RTX 3090 and 3080, although obviously the flagship RTX 4090 needs a bit more power.
At this stage it is best to read the reasons why it is important not to skimp on the budget when buying our power supply. This gives life to very expensive components, and graphics NVIDIA nothing else but they are expensive for a while.
