If we want to go RTX top cards power increase we really need to start at 2080ti.

2080Ti is 250W

3090 is 350W (+100W more than previous generation)

3090Ti is 450W (+100W more than previous card same generation)

4090 is 450W (+100W more than previous generation 90 none 90Ti )

5090 is 575W (+125W more than previous generation 90 none 90Ti)

so 6090 600W? unless they do a new spec connector again..


Power has got silly and they need to get back down to 350W max for the 90 class and 250W for 80 class.

That doesn't really show the whole picture tho.
I've found the 4090 unbelievably efficient, much more so than the 3000 series.
At 80 or 70% power limit you get 95% of the gpu.
I'm very interested in the 5000 efficiency as I plan to get a laptop this year and it will sway me from 4000 or 5000.

This is true. It's always worth undervolting at the very least.

Nah, just put 2 connectors on the card. Sorted!

nVidia cant win anyway. If they launched the 6090 and stated it could perform 25% faster but it's hardware locked not to use that performance to keep within a power limit for eco reasons you would all be foaming at the mouth!
