The performance improvement of the next generation RTX 40 Series graphics card is a mystery. However, various signs show that power consumption seems to be soaring collectively, and the energy efficiency of ADA Lovelace architecture is not optimistic* According to the latest information given by kopite7kimi, a master exposure expert, the RTX 4090 public version scheme number is pg139-sku330, and the power consumption still has the opportunity to reach 600W, * compared with the 350W of the RTX 3090, the power consumption has increased by more than 70%.
The scheme number of RTX 4080 Public Edition is pg139-sk360, that is, both of them are ad103 cores (RTX 4090 Ti ad102), and their power consumption is estimated to be 420W, an increase of more than 30% compared with RTX 3080 320W.
The core of RTX 4070 is AD104. Gddr6 video memory was originally planned to be used, but now it is changed to gddr6x, which also brings further power consumption increase. It is expected to reach 400W, an increase of more than 80% compared with RTX 3070 220W.
As for the more mainstream RTX 4060, the specific power consumption value is temporarily unavailable, but it is basically determined to be higher than that of RTX 3070, which is about 250W by visual inspection, which is almost half higher than that of RTX 3060.
Kopite7kimi frankly said that he didn't care when it was released. He was just curious about the performance, such as whether the RTX 4060 could exceed the RTX 3070.
A few days ago, it was said that the RTX 40 series has not been lit up yet, and the release is far from expected. It is expected that the fastest time will be from October to November, and the RTX 4060 will even be at the beginning of next year.
In relevant news, Haiyun prominently listed the AMD RX 7000 Series in its power consumption calculator, of which the RX 7900 XT and Rx 7800 XT require a minimum power supply of 750W, and the RX 7700 XT corresponds to a power supply of 650W.
This implies that the power consumption of Rx 7000 series is not so exaggerated, but what Haiyun lists may be just placeholders, which is hard to say.
