NVIDIA RTX 40 Series Might Get 800 Watts TBP
The upcoming flagship RTX 4000 series processor will become power hungry. The TBP is now rumored to be 800 Watts for the board design. Mind you, that's not the actual GPU power consumption, but the maximum power delivery a board can handle.
Kopite7kimi mentions the new SKUs for the new RTX 40 series GPUs will be AD102, AD103, AD104, and AD106. Besides the top AD102, every SKU will be available in the consumer segment. The first in line, AD102, is the most power-hungry SKU, with an 800 Watt maximum TBP. Earlier it was rumored that the AD103 GPU is limited to 450 Watts on desktop and 175 Watts on mobile. The desktop version of the AD104 processor would be limited to 400 Watts, the mobile version is still limited to 175 Watts. Furthermore, the AD106 SKU has a desktop power limit of 260 Watts and a mobile power limit of 140 Watts.
In times of rising energy bills and energy shortages, we do wonder if this is the trend NVIDIA needs to be pursuing. I can't stress enough the TBP is not TGP, total graphcuis power. So the values will be a lot lower, but still indications are that these cards will likely to be amped up.

I'll simply unvolt the crap out of the RTX 4060 if it has a TDP of 320 Watts, i don't care if that reduces it's perfomance.
My limit is around 220 watts for noise and heat.

Then wait for the 4050. :p
I have a 250w gpu now and the noise and heat is insane when there is 30+ ambient temperature. I can only imagine 350-450w gpus like a heater being turned on in the summer.

Yeh, i may have enough getting a 4050, or 4050 Ti.
I do want to be 1440p ready, but only 60 FPS.

Good, it'll be prepared for a custom bios.
