You have to compare performance per watt though to see the real gains. They can't keep pumping more and more watts through these things indefinitely, surely we are already at the limit.
- mhh__ 6y agoThe 3090 has a TDP of 350W which is a lot but it's not unprecedented either. There have definitely been cards from even the Fermi days in that region (590?)
- formerly_proven 6y agoI remember the GTX "Thermi" 590 getting close to 450 W in benchmarks, but IIRC that was a dual-GPU card just like AMD's x990 series.
- driverdan 6y agoThe 290x could easily hit 350W.
- PetahNZ 6y agoWell I can supply plenty of watts, but at some point I reach the limit of performance.
- dbkinghorn 6y agoThis is one thing that impressed me with the 3080 .. it looks like 2 of these will be around the performance (for some compute tasks) of 4 x 2080Ti The 4 2080Ti would max out at 1KW the 2 x 3080's at ~700W ...
