Meanwhile 3080Ti laptops pack a bunch more capabilities, draw less and are smaller than atleast the ps5.
On the other hand, the current consoles are impressively quiet. Notebooks get noisy and I'm expecting that 4090 to be a rather noticeable presence heh.

I'll be surprised and disappointed in the 4090 is louder than either current gen console. Modern GPUs are generally silent on idle and extremely quiet on load - quieter than the consoles in many cases.
Theres no reason at all a modern desktop system needs to be be louder than a console if quality components are used and fan profiles tweaked for silence.
That claimed reason is pure BS even if rest of it is true. No-one planned these coolers before NVIDIA started designing the chips. And when NVIDIA started designing the chips they knew exactly what process they'll be built on.The 4090's cooler size is allegedly larger than-need-be according to some reviewers, this due to the original samsumg process node planned (600w). These GPUs now have very reasonable power draws compared to these initial reports.
Its probably more silent than its Ampere 3090/Ti.

Why is the frequency/power so different on the same(?) card?
Watercooled 4090 OC
3 GHz @ ~425W, ~616W @ 2,64 GHz on MSI Kombustor torturetest
Temps censored
Different kind of loads require different amounts of power. For example in the first one there's barely any load on memory controllers while on 2nd they're at over 50%Why is the frequency/power so different on the same(?) card?
2nd pic is max power draw, 1st one is current power draw. Could be a short spike, maybe even too short to show up in the diagram.Why is the frequency/power so different on the same(?) card?
No it's not, both are current power draws. The difference is the load.2nd pic is max power draw, 1st one is current power draw. Could be a short spike, maybe even too short to show up in the diagram.
Different load profiles and likely different temperatures.Why is the frequency/power so different on the same(?) card?
Look at the small "max" upper left to the 616 watts. I know it's hard to read, but looking at the graph it cannot be min or even avg.No it's not, both are current power draws. The difference is the load.
My PS5 is not 2.5cm thick...On the other hand, the current consoles are impressively quiet. Notebooks get noisy and I'm expecting that 4090 to be a rather noticeable presence heh.
It is more efficient than Ampere at 450W.Funny, how the marketing narrative catches on so quickly. Suddenly, people (not just here in the thread) do think that 450W is actually not so bad. Smooth move, Nvidia.
We'll see how much it is worth when AMD launches Navi31 and we can compare them both at equal power draw.
