Surely many people still haven't forgotten the "explosion" scandal on the Nvidia RTX 40-series graphics card line.

And for people who prioritize performance over all else, the 5090 is a big deal—it's the first consumer graphics card from any company that is faster than a 4090, as Nvidia never spruced up the ...

Starting with the architecture, the new Nvidia RTX 5070 GPU is based on the cutting-edge “Blackwell” architecture, the same as the RTX 5090. The older RTX 4090 GPU is developed on the “Ada Lovelace” ...

Now that the RTX 5090 is official, many of you are likely wondering how it compares to the RTX 4090. After all, Nvidia 's current gen GPU has been sitting pretty on the GPU throne since 2022, and ...

Huang promises to deliver RTX 4090-level performance in a $1,300 laptop, and that’s at half the thermal design power (TDP). During the CES 2025 keynote, Huang spoke about the various GPUs that ...

VideoCardz reports that the 5090's thermal design power (TDP) will be set at 575 W, up from 450 W for the already power-hungry RTX 4090. The RTX 5080's TDP is also increasing to 360 W, up from 320 ...

To put this power consumption into perspective, the RTX 4090 has a TDP of 450 W, so the 50 series iteration has an increase of 125W. That's a power inflation of just shy of 30%.

NVIDIA's current-gen flagship GeForce RTX 4090 has a 450W TDP, which means the new RTX 5090 has 125W more power at 575W TDP, making for some considerable power draw (and performance).

Despite both sharing the 4090 moniker, the laptop 4090 is in fact closer in design to a desktop 4080, with both running on the same AD103 silicon instead of the AD102 found in the desktop 4090.

The TDP should be going up for the RTX 50 series, so the RTX 40 series is a good candidate for such mods. There is a catch, however, and that comes down to a lack of battery.

The modder uses RTX 4090 variant with a turbine and a TDP of 450 watts (no, it’s not a 4090D). The video card also has a power connector located conveniently for a laptop. The owner even installed a ...

NVIDIA's next-generation GeForce RTX 5090 reportedly has a 600W TDP, while the RTX 5080 is pegged at 400W and will have 10% more performance than the current-gen flagship RTX 4090.
