GeForce RTX 4000: New Nvidia graphics cards are said to have a major disadvantage

Nvidia’s graphics cards already offer massive performance, but they consume a lot of power. Is this problem finally a thing of history in the next generation of graphics cards? A hardware leaker says no. Much worse, the new GPU models are supposed to become real power guzzlers.

RTX 4000: Nvidia graphics cards are said to consume even more power

If you want to buy a new graphics card, you have to dig deep into your pocket. The prices have been rising again for a few months – and that, although already in autumn 2022 the next generation of GPUs is just around the corner.

At the moment, details about the RTX 4000 and RX 7000 are still few and far between, but the well-known hardware leaker Greymon55 has now found out interesting information about Nvidia’s next flagship, the GeForce RTX 4090. He assumes that the top GPU will be a real power hog and a TDP of 550 watts achieved. For comparison: the current top model, the RTX 3090, has a TDP of 350 watts, the consumption of the 2080 Ti at that time was 250 watts.

If Greymon55’s assumption turns out to be true, it might offend some PC gamers. Because with such a high power consumption, the difference would also increase at the end of the year clearly noticeable on the electricity bill.

In addition, it should not be forgotten that the heat development would also increase due to the increased power consumption. In other words: The graphics card will be much harder to cool and could additionally heat up your premises in summer.

And what other important things happened in the gaming and technology world? We’ll tell you in the GIGA headlines:

AMD graphics cards should also allow themselves more power

But not only the new Nvidia graphics cards could become real power guzzlers in the next generation. Greymon55 assumes that AMD’s top models could also land at a TDP of around 500 watts. For many PC players, a change of the power supply unit should then be necessary at the latest.

But it will take a while before that happens. It is currently assumed that Nvidia’s RTX 4000 graphics cards will be launched in October 2022, AMD’s new models should be in stores in early 2023. It remains to be seen whether the new GPUs will then be available at the MSRP or whether prices will skyrocket thanks to the chip crisis and scalpers.
