The NVIDIA RTX 5090 can work with the 3X 8-Pine power adapter, but in this case the power consumption is limited to 450W.
NVIDIA RTX 5090while the video card stands out with its performance in the world, it offers interesting details about power consumption. This card, which works with a power of 600W with a standard 4x 8-Pine adapter, can be limited to 450W when used with the 3x 8-Pine adapter. This power limitation leads to only 5 %loss in performance.
NVIDIA RTX 5090 3x 8-Pine can work with adapter
The NVIDIA RTX 5090 can attract 600W with the 4X 8-Pin power adapter. However, if users are inadequate or if there are no 4 adapters binding, the card can also work with the 3x 8-Pine adapter. In this case, the power consumption of the card is limited to 450W. The tests show that the card performance of the card at the 450W power limit is only a decrease of 5 %. This feature makes it possible for users to run cards with lower power supplies.
The 450W power limit does not significantly affect the performance of the NVIDIA RTX 5090. Especially in rasterized game tests, it was found that there was only a small performance difference when it was run with 450W instead of 600W. This shows that the card is quite successful in terms of energy efficiency. However, it is stated that the card cannot be operated with an adapter of 2X 8-PIN, because this configuration is only 300W of power and the RTX 5090 is not designed to work at this level.
NVIDIA’s power limit option offers significant flexibility for users. Especially users who do not have high power supplies can use the card with 450W limit. However, for users who want maximum performance, 4x 8-pine adapter providing 600W power is recommended.
The NVIDIA RTX 5090 draws attention with its performance and power consumption options and redefines the standards in energy efficiency. This feature allows the card to appeal to the wide audience.
