GeForce RTX 5080 TDP Set AT 360W, Insider Suggests

Expert Verified By

A substantial increase in power draw over last generation.

Story Highlight
  • The RTX 5090 is expected to have a 575W TDP, up from the 450W of the RTX 4090.
  • The RTX 5080, with the GB203 GPU and 10,752 CUDA cores, will have a TDP of 360W, 40W higher than the RTX 4080.
  • GeForce RTX 5090 & RTX 5080 are expected to be the most expensive cards from Nvidia yet. 

Although a 600W TDP was anticipated for NVIDIA’s next-generation GeForce RTX 5090, recent reports indicate that the company’s upcoming enthusiast graphics card would instead have a 575W TDP.

Why it matters: The increased power draw on the GeForce RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 highlights NVIDIA’s goals for better performance but also raises concerns on the efficiency of next-gen.

Reputable leaker “kopite7kimi” responded to the statement “next-gen 90 > 575W” made by leaker “hongxing202” in a recent post on X by adding, “and RTX 5080 360W.” Given that the current-generation flagship RTX 4090 from NVIDIA has a TDP of 450W, the new RTX 5090 has 125W more power at 575W TDP, resulting in a significant increase.

The RTX 5090 is rumored to use the GB202 GPU with 21,760 CUDA cores , making it the first of its kind to go over 20,000. Furthermore, with twice as much memory the GeForce RTX 5090 will reportedly come with 32 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 512-bit interface.

The GeForce RTX 5080, on the other hand, is based on GB203 GPU Core, 24GB GDDR7 memory featuring 10752 CUDA cores. Regarding power draw, the new 80 series card from Nvidia at 360W is 40W greater than the RTX 4080 and 4080 SUPER, featuring 16GB of GDDR7 RAM.

The new 50 series cards from Nvidia, including PCIe 5.0 and DisplayPort 2.1a, are anticipated to support some of the biggest changes since the Ada Lovelace architecture. However, leaked packaging suggests that there aren’t any significant changes.

NVIDIA is expected to make its pricing announcement next week, with GeForce RTX 5080 expected to make an appearance. The GeForce RTX 5090 and GeForce RTX 5070 Ti are set to launch at a later date.
