The Nvidia Geforce RTX 4080 gets the same power output as the RTX 3080

Geforce RTX 4000 “Ada Lovelace” is not too far away, but there is still no official information about the release date and what graphics cards will be released first. Information based on somewhat real plans is emerging via the rumors, indicating that only the RTX 4090 will see the light of day this year.

Information that upcoming graphics cards will be delivered with spiced TBP values ​​has been around for several months and many indicate that this is the case. Twitter profile “kopite7kimi” Make absolutely sure that the Geforce RTX 4090 specs are nailed down and that the card is charging with 450 Watts of a TBP rating. It’s loud but much lower than the 600 and 800 watts we’ve been looking at. Now the RTX 4080 and RTX 4070 are also reported to be climbing the power ladder.

Instead of 420 watts, “kopite7kimi” thinks Nvidia is reducing the Geforce RTX 4080 to 320 watts — the same as the RTX 3080. So the reduction is about 100 watts, or roughly 25 percent. The power rectification of the Geforce RTX 4070 is smaller and ranges from 300 to 285 watts. The 5 percent reduction is just a small step toward the level that applies to the RTX 3070, which was set at 220 watts in the reference version.

All information regarding the Geforce RTX 4000 series is speculative.

As a follow up to this post, “kopite7kimi” wrote that no significant performance loss is to be expected, as the previous values ​​were very generous and left room for overclocking. The difference between the TBP values ​​for the Geforce RTX 3080 and RTX 3070 is 100 watts, but with the new numbers, only 35 watts differ between the RTX 4080 and the RTX 4070, which is surprisingly small. It must be emphasized that these are still rumors and that all information should be taken with caution.
