Analysis: Performance and power worries – but let’s not forget pricing. What we don’t have confirmed, as VideoCardz observed, is what that 10% performance boost over the RTX

The GeForce RTX 50 Series, a new generation of GPUs for gamers based on NVIDIA's latest Blackwell architecture, will include models that are more power hungry than the current generation, according to new rumors that have been shared online.

The company kept power consumption largely unchanged from Ampere to Ada Lovelace (although GPU size increased). But it's reportedly set to crank things up to 11 with Blackwell GeForce by raising power consumption across the board.

Popular hardware leaker @kopite7kimi says that the RTX 5070 and RTX 5090 GPUs will require substantially more power than the previous generation. The 5070 will potentially match the 4070 Super at 220W,
