“Foreign media tested Nvidia DLSS 5: The stronger the graphics card, the greater the increase in power consumption; for 4K resolution, the RTX 5090 has an increase of 34%.”

“Foreign media tests Nvidia’s DLSS 5 and found that the stronger the graphics card, the greater the increase in power consumption. The RTX 5090 saw a 34% increase in power consumption at 4K resolution. German tech media computerbase tested the RTX 5090 using the 《NBA 2K27》 game and found that its power consumption increased from 299 watts to 500 watts at WQHD (a 66% increase), and from 417 watts to 561 watts at 4K. In addition to the RTX 5090, the power consumption of the RTX 5080 and RTX 5070 Ti also increased, showing a clear trend where stronger performance led to greater increases in power consumption. The media believes that DLSS 5 primarily relies on the Tensor core for AI operations, combining super-resolution and frame generation technologies, resulting in higher computational complexity than previous versions. This means users will need higher-power power supplies and stronger cooling systems; the RTX 5090 may have a maximum power consumption of nearly 600 watts under DLSS 5. Nvidia’s DLSS 5 was released in March 2026…”
