NVIDIA RTX 40 Series Could Reach 800 Watts on Desktop, 175 Watt for Mobile/Laptop

I hate it that we move to more and more ineffecient and shitty cards. I dont care how powerful they are if they consume more than all the stuff in my Kitchen combined. My limit will be 150 Watts and if Nvidia and AMD decide to bring out such useless cards then I will have to hold onto my 1660 Super a bit longer.

Does the watts used divided by max fps = efficient. bet not

you say that you lowered the 3080 TI's capabilities by lower voltage and frequency (I assume that is what you meant by downgrading) and somehow you have more FPS? That totally makes no sense.

It does, cuz its power limited by default and frequency could drop below good undervolting setup, where is in optimal performance envelope. I would say its common with power hungry gpus.

Lowering voltage to find a sweet spot to gain frequency in a given power envelope sure can boost the card due to lower power consumption and lower DTP which give you some headroom. I doubt the card can be boosted when your frequency is manually lowered by a user from a default or factory settings and get more FPS.

I didn't say that.... you are fabricating your thoughts to be mine. I see that you have problem with understanding the written text. I will write it differently: undervolted 3080 ti with 0.8v and 1850Mhz its more powerful than default 3080 ti with automatic boosting to 1950Mhz which is constraint to 1680Mhz by boosting algorithm because of exceeding the maximum power target in the same game.

That is what the other dude said. Never said you were the one stating it.

Maybe I caught you in the middle and you were set up for that discussion, but this totally makes sense:

That was mine point.

Well lowering voltage and frequency at the same time will not bring you more performance. Will bring you less heat and lower power usage.

Good thing I bought a 1600w psu for my work cum gaming pc a few years back. My RX5800 gpu will be ready for an upgrade in time for the upcoming RTX4070.
