A hot potato: Gamers who thought that the current crop of RDNA2 and RTX 30-series GPUs were already demanding might be in for a surprise, if the most recent drop of leaks is to be believed. Both kopite7kimi and Greymon55, established leakers in their own rights, seem to be in agreement that some of Nvidia’s upcoming Lovelace GPUs will land somewhere north of the 400W range. These figures would presumably be for the top models of the RTX 4000 series, built on AD102 silicon, successors to the RTX 3080 / Ti and RTX 3090. Besides pushing the GPU core as hard as possible, a great deal of this power budget will come from the continued use of the hot and power-hungry GDDR6X memory on Nvidia’s top models. 450-500w Greymon55 (@greymon55) July 29, 2021 Separately, Bondrewd of the Beyond3D forums left hints on Navi 31, the top SKU from AMD’s RDNA3 line-up, suggesting that the multi-chiplet GPU would sit below 500W in total board power draw and below 350 mm² per graphics core die.
