Performance doesn't go down linearly with power. I don't have that card to try, but maybe it would do even better at 15% of power.

- keymone 5y agoi doubt it'll even initialize.
- qayxc 5y agoThese cards can run idle (e.g. desktop 2D mode) at about 15W, so it might run just fine. Actual power draw depends on monitor resolution, number of attached displays, and refresh rate, though.
- keymone 5y agoThese cards idle at 15w while m1 max is yielding like half the performance at that wattage. Sorry, Apple is clearly lightyears ahead. All they need to do is put out a chip with 48 of their gpu cores and they will beat the most expensive top of the line best ever performance gpu on the market… with a laptop-grade SoC.
- vbezhenar 5y agoThe moment of truth will be Mac Pro. There they'll have all the freedom to spend as much electricity as possible and push computing to the bounds.
- r00fus 5y agoThere is a floor below which it will go straight to 0 (ie, nonfunctional). The M1 Max is well below that floor at max wattage.
- sudosysgen 5y agoThat floor is really, really low when you try to optimize for it. But the issue is that the M1 Max is at 5nm TSMC while the 3080 is on 8nm Samsung, so this isn't actually that impressive.
