Nvidia’s upcoming next-gen GeForce RTX4060 GPU could require a higher power draw than the current-gen RTX 3070 board, according to a new rumor.
As reported by Tom’s Hardware, technology insider kopite7kimi stated that the architecture design of the RTX 4060 will require it to consume more power than the RTX 3070. Consequently, this will inevitably lead to a considerably higher power draw than its predecessor, the GeForce RTX 3060 12GB.
For reference, the GeForce RTX 3070 Founders Edition features a power draw of around 220 watts, while Tom’s Hardware highlights how factory-overclocked models take that number to the 240-250 watts range. Strengthening this assumption is the constant speculation surrounding the efficiency of RTX 40-series GPUs, which could range between 450W to 600W. As such, the possibility of a mid-range 350 watts GPU starts to make sense.
It seems that the claim of Nvidia facing a “real, true efficiency problem coming up” could actually hold some weight.
