News RTX 5090D overclocked to 3.4 GHz consumes 1,000W — beats dual RTX 3090 Ti and quad GTX 1080 Ti

The RTX 5090D, cooled by liquid nitrogen, has set multiple world records, reaching nearly 3.4 GHz.

It seems odd that the 5090D outperforms the 5090 in the chart.

That was the first thing that came to my mind - a stock crippled card shouldn't really be posting better results than the stock non-crippled version. Something much doesn't quite add up there...

We are now well past just needing to afford the extreme pricing for these high end GPU's - Now we need to budget to be able to pay the electric bill as well. Or perhaps put in a solar farm? Buying my own reactor (like several companies have) is beyond my budget.

Is the 5090D really only capped at the driver level?

Nobody knows what level (or multiple levels) exactly nvidia has locked it down, but the 5090D has the same specifications as the 5090 and isn't limited in any way with regards to gaming. It's not particularly surprising that the card in question (the 5090 version is $2800) which has a great bin is able to top a 5090 (who knows what kind of 5090 was listed).

Interestingly there does just appear to be the single power cable so I would love to have seen how much was actually going through that cable specifically.

I do hope that it is a hardware or at least bios capped one to halt it on AI and cripto but not affecting gaming, maybe freeing up some of the heat capacity and it can even beat the uncapped one in gaming slightly... now that is something really for gamers and not AI scalpers..

my guess:
5090D crippled the AI calculation part, thus if you are not running any AI-related workloads (like using DLSS4), then it will perform better than 5090.
since the energy used to be consumed by those transistors now can be directed to others.
