That’s almost 1W per dollar!
I, for one, would rather just see them use a couple of 2/0 AWG welding cables, bolted onto a 5mm copper plate on the board. If you need 200 amps, make it look like 200 amps.
If they put 2x 12pin HighPower connectors and they wouldn’t be burning up because each would be delivering just 300W. But they explicitely don’t allow board partners to do it themselves, because NVIDIA is bunch of controlling assholes.
They could even used it as part of marketing. “So powerful it needs 2 connectors”
With 2.4kw you can just use it as a space heater, and a strong one at that!
Good luck plugging that into an outlet without tripping a fuse under load.
10A. That’s fine.
I’m not trying to be a 1-upper, but you need to also include the power the computer and CPU use as well. Not to mention the age of the outlet and how many times a plug has been inserted/removed from it. The contact resistance can be pretty bad depending on how old the outlet is.
In most of the EU countries, that is fine as our sockets are mostly 16A rated. Unless you stick 2 of those GPUs in your PC
Nvidia has been pretty shit for the last few generations but this is clearly just an engineering prototype for testing, they obviously weren’t trying to make a 2400w 5090.
don’t put it past nvidia.
they gotta fulfill those unrealized promises about native 4k gaming somehow.
Electric companies after every nvidia gpu generation.

3090 TDP 350 W
4090 TDP 450 W
5090 TDP 575 WChrist, not exactly a model of power efficiency is it?
Also, if it’s drawing that much power, how could it possibly dissipate all the heat? It must sound like an F-16.
I expect this card will be a hard pass from me…
