NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 to Consume More Power than GeForce RTX 3070 (220 W) - tech|
| (d@rkfu) 08:11 PM CEST - Jun,05 2022 | News broke yesterday of NVIDIA’s alleged launch schedule for its upcoming GeForce RTX 40 Series, including a supposed CES 2023 unveiling date for a newly mentioned (but predictable) GeForce RTX 4060 graphics card. Popular leaker @kopite7kimi has now taken to Twitter to share a little insight on the lower mid-range GPU, claiming that it will consume more power than the Ampere-based GeForce RTX 3070.
If true, this would mean that the GeForce RTX 4060 will feature a TDP greater than 220 watts, which is what NVIDIA officially lists for the graphics card power of its GeForce RTX 3070. NVIDIA fans who have been following the company’s gaming products closely may not be too surprised, however, as members of the GeForce X60 series have proven to be more and more power hungry over the past few generations.
- GeForce RTX 4060: 220W+
- GeForce RTX 3060: 170W
- GeForce RTX 2060: 160W
- GeForce GTX 1060: 120W
- GeForce GTX 960: 120W
- GeForce GTX 760: 170W
- NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 Graphics Card - October 2022 Launch
- NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Graphics Card - November 2022 Launch
- NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Graphics Card - December 2022 Launch
- NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Graphics Card - January CES 2023 Unveil
The GeForce RTX 4090 will be the first to launch, followed by its siblings, the RTX 4080 and the RTX 4070. If you recall the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 30 series launch, you will remember that the green team also announced the trio of its Ampere cards, the RTX 3090, RTX 3080, and RTX 3070 the same day however, the launches took place a few weeks apart from each other. The first graphics card within the RTX 30 series wasn't available in retail until a month later (1st September RTX 30 Unveil, 24th September RTX 3080 Retail launch).
The GeForce RTX 3090 was launched for retail availability by the end of September so an October launch for the RTX 4090 will mark almost 24 months since the previous graphics card.
The trio of GeForce RTX 40 series graphics cards is expected to utilize different Ada Lovelace GPU designs with the RTX 4090 using the top AD102 SKU, the RTX 4080 using the AD103 SKU while the RTX 4070 is expected to feature the AD104 GPU SKU

Same with GPUs, and everything else.
If you buy (just an example) 3090 to play CS:GO at 1080p @ 144fps (144Hz) enable vsync, or limit framerate to 144, 3090 will be at ~20% usage and use maybe 50W.
Also, everyone buys at least 40% "more" PSU than PC will need (max power usage of PC ~350W, PSU bought is 600+ W ) so I don't see a problem.
Electricity wise, I compared prices over the world, but lets take UK as an example, a year of gaming costs ~30 Pounds. So don't give that electricity bill crap. |

Where i am 30 pounds gets me less than 100 kwh in prime time.
So if I run my computer at a very optimistical 50% of psu capability with your calculation, i'll have 150 hours a year of gaming.
This does not include monitor or sound system power usage.
My high refresh qhd+ monitor also doubles as a heat radiator (joke, but really it gets hot).
30 quid really doesn't last me long with the current energy situation.
(also I don't play cs:go so using a deckade old game as benchmark isnt really great.) |

I take it your in the U.K.? Unless you or your parents have price-capped your current supplier, it’s going up again to a near £3,000 price cap increase in October. So nothing but a joke |

| lorcro2000 | (07:38 AM CEST - Jun,08 2022 ) | I'm fortunate enough that paying for electricity even with the current insanely overblown prices (we need governments to step up and take over the whole damned sector, and run it at cost instead of letting profiteers suck the life out of everyone) is something I can do.
I'm still not thrilled with the developent. A high end 4000 series will probably require a massive cooling solution and still run hot, and produce a lot of waste heat into the house that also has to be dealt with.
More cooling means either a LOT larger, or a lot noisier, to deal with the heat. The Noctua collaboration GPU that was released recently is stupidly thick and has a gigantic heatsink, and that's on a current generation card. Because it has to be to cool silently.
Constant power increases on GPUs is not great. |
