Enermax reports consumption of Radeon RX 7000 and RTX 4070 / RTX 4060

Estimates or official data?

Enermax, a company that makes power supplies for PCs in particular, is now showing recommendations for several next-generation AMD and NVIDIA graphics cards, some of which haven’t been made official yet, via its tool. power supply calculator. If NVIDIA has already provided two GeForce RTX 4000, then the RTX 4090 and RTX 4080 (the latter is available in two versions), AMD will provide a file Radeon RX 7000 RDNA 3 Released November 3. Also, for the GeForce RTX 4000 series, the references are not limited to the aforementioned references, but also include the RTX 4070 and RTX 4060.

At this point, it is impossible to know if Enermax has official information or if one of its employees has engaged in mere guesswork. Anyway, his site provides the data below:

GeForce RTX 4000 Series:
GeForce RTX 4090: 853W PSU (GPU 450W TDP)
GeForce RTX 4080: 720W PSU (GPU TDP 320-285W)
GeForce RTX 4070: 684W PSU (GPU TDP~285W)
GeForce RTX 4060: 598 W PSU (GPU TDP ~ 200W)

Radeon RX 7000 Series:
Radeon RX 7950 XT: 822W PSU (GPU TBP ~ 420W)
Radeon RX 7900 XT: 730W PSU (GPU TBP ~ 330W)
Radeon RX 7800 XT: 700W PSU (GPU TBP~300W)
Radeon RX 7700 XT: 598 W PSU (GPU TBP ~ 200W)

AMD plans 700W TDP GPUs in 2025…

Radeon RX 7700 XT is less greedy than its predecessor?

Assuming they are true, these values ​​will confirm the increase in consumption for the top of the range − An appetite confirmed and illustrated by Sam Navziger last June – But stagnation and even regression for the high/medium range.

So the spearhead of RDNA 3 graphics cards, the Radeon RX 7950XT, will have a TBP of 420 W; Radeon RX 7900 XT and RX 7800 XT at 330 and 300 watts, respectively; Finally, the RX 7700 XT will be satisfied with 200W. To make a comparison with existing cards, the Radeon RX 6950 XT Has a TBP of 335 watts, Radeons RX 6900 XT And the RX 6800 XT 300 watts RX 6700 XT from 230 watts.
