One of the topics that have given the most to talk about the new generation of NVIDIA graphics cards is the consumption they have, the fact that the most powerful model can consume between 520-600 W surprised a large number of users. And although AMD had no planned to create models that try to compete in front of the highest ranges of their main opponent, it seems that at least in terms of consumption they will be on par, since a model of the model has leaked RX 9070 XT which recommends a power supply with enough power.
The consumption of the increasingly greater PC components, the need that new hardware has in terms of energy is really large, being one of the main reasons why companies have introduced a series of implementations so that for example, in The graphics cards, a single connector can offer the entire energy supply it needs. This in turn implies that smaller sources are increasing .
The new generation of graphics comes with a really high consumption
With the various leaks that have been in terms of both Nvidia and AMD We practically already know everything that will incorporate the models that have not yet been presented or presented, as is the case of the RX 9000. In general terms, one of the things that have been spoken most is the energy that these components need, the RTX models need virtually 1000 W food sources to work, but the RX seems to be that they are not going to stay far behind in this aspect.
In the previous generation of graphics launched by AMD, high -end models such as RX 7900 XTX ask for an 800 w power supply, while other models such as RX 7700 XT or RX 7900 GR need a 750 W. This seems like this being that it will change in the 9000 series, since as indicated by the model filtered of the model RX 9070 XT Red Devil of PowerColorit is necessary to have a 900 w source so that the graph can work. In this case, it should be noted that this specific version is a model with factory overclock, that is, it is normal to have superior consumption.

MINIMUM 900W POWER SUPPLY 100W HIGHER THAN 7900XTX? (PLEASE TELL ME ITS Fake) https://t.co/xtu1i80ndnFebruary 14, 2025 • 14:46
On the other hand, the consumption referred to by AMD’s base requirements should be 750 W for the normal model of RX 9070 XT, while RX 9070 should request at least a source of 650 W. It is clear that a jump of 150 watts for a model with Overclock seems to be quite large, even if it manages to improve performance quite a lot compared to basic models it is extremely strange that can vary both consumption, although it would explain why we could see versions with three 8 -pin connectors .
