NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 5090 sees a 5% drop in performance at 3x 8-pin cables

Well, NVIDIA’s new RTX 5090 users must be aware of the cables they use, as the lack of correct ones can lead to a “noticeable” decline in productivity.

Early users should be aware of the power adapters used on NVIDIA RTX 5090, 4x 8-Pin connectors are required

This post will serve as a precautionary measure for many NVIDIA RTX Blackwell users, as it does not seem to use the right power adapter can hold your appropriate SKU in terms of performance. Although this is a pretty standard concept, Computer base In fact, he tested the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 of 3x 8-pin and 4x 8-pin adapters to see how the decline in power figures leads to degradation of productivity. Interestingly, the provision of 100W less power than the optimal number leads to about 5% decline in the survivorized tests.

The GPU has been tested on the 575W, 450W and 400W TDP and it seems that limiting power makes a noticeable difference, although this is really obvious. The interesting part here is that the SKU was functional with a three-pin connection, but the source says that GPU does not work on 2x 8-pin connectors, which means that the work of GeForce RTX 5090 at 300W is no longer an option.

Having 4x 8-pin onboard power supply connectors, you supply NVIDIA RTX 5090 with a potential 600W power and this figure is really required for huge AIB variants like the ROG Astral GeForce RTX 5090 S Nvidia gives users the ability to start the 450W GPU is really a great measure in this way, the company guarantees that the lack of proper power does not affect the functionality of GPU, but will certainly affect performance.

As NVIDIA’s RTX Blackwell GPU has recently dropped out of the market, we expect many more stories to be expanded, with one To be a scusum to brickDue to unknown problems that are probably related to BIOS, built -in driver or pcie connection. Make sure you manage your SKU under ideal conditions, since after a 12VHPWR fiasco we can never be sure.
