NVIDIA plans to officially launch the RTX 40 series graphics cards based on the Ada architecture in the second half of this year. Compared with the RTX 30 series graphics cards, the RTX 40 series graphics cards have better performance and greatly improved specifications. However, Now Nvidia seems to be considering clearing out the massive inventory of RTX 30 series graphics cards. It is rumored that the release time of RTX 40 is also delayed. And now whistleblowers continue to reveal the power consumption of RTX 40 series graphics cards, including desktop and mobile versions. Compared with RTX 30 series graphics cards, the power consumption is also extremely obvious.
According to the news, there are currently four different Ada architecture GPU, including AD102, AD103, AD104 and AD106. They should be used in RTX 4080, RTX 4070, RTX 4060 and RTX 4050 respectively. At the same time, the power consumption of the four graphics cards are respectively They are 800W, 450W, 400W and 260W. In addition, the power consumption of mobile graphics card was also exposed, but the mobile graphics cards started from AD103, which are 175W, 175W and 140W respectively. What
can see is that the power consumption of AD103 and AD104 is not very different. It is expected that the actual specification difference is about 15-20%, but the power consumption of AD102 and AD103 can differ by 350W, although the power consumption does not represent The actual performance of the graphics card, but previous news said that the AD102 is far better than the AD103 in terms of specifications, and can even be said to be two different generations of graphics cards.
There is no doubt that for consumers, the cost of purchasing power supplies will increase significantly this year. Especially for consumers purchasing RTX 4090 graphics cards, 1200W power supplies may be the starting point.
