We can expect RTX 4080 with 320W and RTX 4070 with 285W.

Granted the 4070 is still under 300W. Nearing that for a 7XX series card (TGP) is still insanely high. Though if it performs on par or better than a 3090Ti, that's not too bad for a high/mid range card. Its moderately higher than the 3070, but then this supposedly is going to have 12GB GDDR6X.. so it makes sense it would consume more power.

Interestingly the 4080 is going to be around on par with last generation's TDP. As always take with grain of salt and all that.

If true, it confirms what I suspected earlier where the high wattage leaks were more so how much the GPU can handle rather than actual power consumption. There's a difference between stock wattage, OC wattage, spikes and maximum power consumption under extreme conditions such as LN2.

But I get the feeling the 4090 will remain 450 watts tho which is still my target. But a 4080 at 320 watts would be great and would make a lot more sense considering the core count defecate. One does have to wonder where RDNA 3 is going to fall if the rumours are true and 4080 does end up being AD103 instead of AD102 like Ampere was.

Yeah if I had to guess the info on these are rough guidelines given to aib's given from Nvidia and to make sure they can provide enough juice and headroom for power limits for their respective lines of GPU's.

With how AMD are keeping high efficiency with RDNA 3 with their press and maybe internal leaks.. maybe Nvidia got wind of performance of the whole stack, and decided to dial down. And try other configurations with to get similar results without completely throwing away the efficiency/performance gains. It'll be interesting either way. I'd hope if Nvidia can get the 4090 and 4080 TDP's down to sane levels.. for all of our sakes. And if the 3080 does indeed come out with only 320W that makes it much more appealing GPU to me.
