GeForce RTX 4000: Big NVIDIA graphics cards

S3 Graphics is a company specializing in the production of graphics card microprocessors. Although it no longer has the market share it had actually accomplished, it continues to generate graphic accelerators for individual computer systems under the S3 Chrome brand. A less known rival at NVIDIA GeForce and also ATI Radon.

NVIDIA s current graphics cards provide neat performance, but also approve a lot of electricity. This problem could further escalate in the upcoming generation as a well-known hardware leaker suspects.

NVIDIA graphics cards could soon consume more electricity

If you just want to buy a new graphics card, you have to grab deep into your pocket. The prices have been rising again for a few months — and that, although in the fall of 2022 the next GPU generation is in front of the door.

Currently, details about RTX 4000 and RX 7000 are still RAR sown, but the well-known hardware leaker Greymon55 has now found interesting information about Nvidia s next flagship, the GeForce RTX 4090. It assumes that the top GPU is reached a real power-eater and reaches a TDP of 550 watts. For comparison: The current top model, the RTX 3090, has a TDP of 350 watts, the consumption of the 2080 ti was at that time at 250 watts.

If the guess of Greymon55 turns out to be true, some PC players should encounter properly in front of their heads. For such a high power consumption, the difference at the end of the year would be clearly noticeable on the electricity bill.

In addition, it must not be forgotten that heat development would increase due to the increased power consumption. In other words: The graphics card will be much harder to cool and could heat up your premises in the summer.

And what else is important in the gaming and technology world happens? We ll tell you in the GIG HEADLINES:

Also AMD graphics cards become power

But not only the new NVIDIA graphics cards could be genuine energy in the upcoming generation. Greymon55 assumes that could also land AMD s top models at a TDP of about 500 watts. For many PC players, a change of the power supply should be necessary at the latest.

But until the time has come, it takes a while. Currently, one goes out of it that NVIDIA RTX-4000 graphics cards go to the start in October 2022, AMD s new models should then be in the stores in the early 2023. Whether the new GPUs can then be available for the EIA, or thanks to the chip crisis and the scalper the prices are back to the height, remains to be seen.
