NVIDIA’s new graphics card RTX 5090 draws attention with its 600W power consumption and high sound level. The performance increase comes with a jump in energy consumption.
NVIDIAaims to raise the performance bar with the new generation graphics card RTX 5090. However, according to leaked information, this power increase comes at a significant cost. RTX 5090 will consume 30% more energy than the previous model RTX 4090, with 600W power consumption. In addition, it is stated that the card will make a sound like a “jet engine” due to its high power consumption. This can increase both energy costs and users’ need for a cooling system.
NVIDIA RTX 5090: More Power, More Noise
It is stated that the RTX 5090 has a very high energy requirement compared to the RTX 4090, which consumes 450W power. This increase especially targets users who want high-level performance. According to leaked Blender test results, the performance of RTX 5090 increases by 30%. However, this performance increase has to be supported not only by a powerful graphics card but also by the requirement for a 1000W power supply (PSU).
Designed especially for gamers and content creators, the card may strain the overall heating and cooling balance of the system along with its energy needs. Additionally, the high noise level of the RTX 5090 indicates that users may have difficulty meeting the expectation of a quiet working environment.
NVIDIA RTX 5090 is expected to be released with a starting price of $ 1,999. However, this high price tag covers not only the cost of the card but also the additional hardware investments required. Users may have to allocate additional budget for a more powerful power supply and advanced cooling systems.
It is commented that the RTX 5090 appeals especially to professional users and is too powerful for ordinary players. This new generation graphics card from NVIDIA is a candidate to create discussions about energy consumption and sound level after its launch. Users are eagerly waiting for the official reviews and performance tests of the card.
