Corsair hints next-gen GPUs may be significantly more power-hungry
Corsair hints next-gen GPUs may need 750W-1500W power supplies.
Corsair has hinted at the potential for significantly power-hungry next-gen GPUs, suggesting that upcoming models might need between 750W to 1500W. This prepares their power supply units (PSUs) for the increase, particularly compared to the RTX 4090's 450W TDP.
Corsair's PSU offerings include the modular RMe series for high-performance builds up to 1000W and the RMx models up to 1200W for quiet operation. The HXi series, with Platinum efficiency and capacities of up to 1500W, targets the most power-demanding setups.
The company appears confident and possibly informed about Nvidia and AMD's future plans, particularly for GPUs speculated to launch at CES 2025, like the RTX 5080 and 5090. Corsair's announcement hints at readiness for advancing power requirements.
