That has more to do with frequency. Frequency requires higher voltage

• IshKebab 4y ago
  Not really, frequency has plateaued precisely because of the crazy power scaling with frequency. The easily parallelisable nature of graphics means you can always make a faster GPU with more cores. The trouble is, newer nodes aren't reducing power usage per transistor very much, so all the newer GPUs just have a ton more silicon, and therefore much higher power requirements.

    RTX 3090 TI: 1560 MHz base, 1860 MHz boost RTX 4090: 2235 MHz base, 2520 MHz boost

      yeah, and the power draw is around the same because the 4090 is 4nm, and the 3090 ti is 8nm. smaller transistors means more power efficient chips, and thus larger improvements in graphics.
