AMD seems confident.
If we recall AMDs claim of a greater than 50% performance per watt improvement then there’s the possibility, if an unlikely one, that a RX 7900 XT could end up twice as fast as a 6900 XT. Now of course that depends on how aggressive AMD wants to be. Power scaling becomes exponentially less effective the closer a chip gets to its frequency limits.
Oh, to be a fly on the wall in those internal meetings, There’s still so much we don’t know about RDNA 3. We know it will be a chiplet based architecture, chips will be manufactured with TSMC’s 5nm node and will feature optimized Infinity Cache, and probably more of it.served as taste of what we can expect going forward. PCIe 5.0 power supplies with 16-pin power connectors that support up to 600W give as good a sign as any that GPU power consumption is only going to increase in the years ahead.
As the world grapples with complicated issues including energy supply, inflation and climate change, the trend towards ever higher GPU power consumption is not a good one. Of course, not all GPUs will feature ridiculous power levels. There will be demand for high-quality and affordable cards that can push good frame rates, though I hope that a performance at all costs mentality doesn't forget to place at least some emphasis on power efficiency.
We’re going to get great performance from both AMD and Nvidia GPUs but there has to be a limit or a pushback from consumers. Where does it end? 600w, 800w? Performance is king, but lets not totally neglect everything else too.Chris' gaming experiences go back to the mid-nineties when he conned his parents into buying an 'educational PC' that was conveniently overpowered to play Doom and Tie Fighter.
