What is the Most power efficient card?

[Jae Tee]

What is the most power efficient graphics card from a watt's to performance perspective. Bonus points when it applies to productivity, and not just gaming. 

 

If there is no one-size-fits-all (power 2 perf) in gaming and productivity, then what card'"S".

High end quadro cards. Nvidia cards has higher efficiency even if their process node is more outdated, but they chop down floating point performance of Geforce cards which are much needed in some productivity work. That's why you need a Quadro, if you dont mind running them in a server rack and order them in bulk under the name of a company then Tesla cards will also do. Titan V is the only non Quadro/Tesla card to retain its floating point performance and still has Tensor cores (more than even the RTX 8000), though no RT cores if anything pops out that can use them.

RTX Titan running at 50% power limit.

Im fairly certain a lower clockspeed Titan V beats out the RTX Titan. 

 

Tho for general powerefficiency. Id look elsewhere.

Why do you care about powerefficiency?

 

If you were mining, sure, otherwise id just get what you need.

Nvidia's GeForce RTX 2080 Ti is the latest and most potent GPU around, and it's also one of the largest consumer GPUs ever produced. The Turing TU102 is 60 percent larger than the Pascal GP102 in the 1080 Ti, with 55 percent more transistors. Those extra transistors went into more CUDA cores, but Nvidia didn't stop there, adding in Tensor cores to help accelerate deep learning algorithms like DLSS, plus RT cores to accelerate ray tracing.

Um...... Nope. There are more potent GPUs around. 

 

And even if these exact words were copy-pasted from a launch event.the Titan V would still be around at that point. 

 

Edit: also doesnt say anything about powerefficiency. So idk why that was copy-pasted

you know, the biggest core they make is labled -100 at the back.
