4090 power consumption

What is going on? I thought they are supposed to get better performance/watt, but it looks to me the power increase % is the same as performance increase % for every new generation. Top end used to be 250w, then 2080ti 260w, 3090 350w, 4090 600w. I'm still running 1070 (150w) and it generates too much heat in my room, my country australia is very hot, I'm not going to turn on the 8kw aircon everyday just to play some game. I thought 4000 series was finally the time to upgrade, then I saw the 4090 power draw. Who will buy this crap? What happened to efficiency?

Nobody knows what the power consumption of the next generation graphics cards will be. You are getting all hot and bothered over rumor and speculation.

Corps aren't your friends. "Bottleneck calculators" are BS. Only suckers buy based on brand. It's your PC, do what makes you happy.  If your build meets your needs, you don't need anyone else to "rate" it for you. And talking about being part of a "master race" is cringe. Watch this space for further truths people need to hear.

There's no official reviews out. It could be more power efficient. 150% power consumption with 151% more performance would fit the bill for more efficient/watt.

 

I'm curious where you've seen reviews that aren't Nvidia about the performance of a GPU that isn't out yet. 

I'm not actually trying to be as grumpy as it seems.

I will find your mentions of Ikea or Gnome and I will /s post.

They can't go much higher if they do computers are going to start requiring industrial/appliance power outlets and a bonus room air conditioner.

Well if this was true based on apollo 11 computers, my smartwatch should require every nuclear reactor on earth combined to power it rn.

It doesn't matters anymore,

Akshually… gpus keep getting more power efficient each generation. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

power efficiency =/= power draw

mitigating poorly coded software at this point

Since ca. 2007 and the "4k" fad actually… there could be done a lot in how game engines work, physics, textures, etc, but why do that when you can just release a new GPU each year or so to "throw more power at it" !?

 

 

The direction tells you... the direction.

not really, for example over 10 year old Intel core quad uses more power than much much more powerful ryzen 3 3300x.

or nvidia gtx 8800 uses much more power than 1070 for example while being much WORSE

I Use my knowledge as business owner and self taught technician aswell as an AI to help people. AI might be controversial but it actually works pretty well 90% of the time.
