Today has been the day that RTX Video Super Resolution has reached NVIDIA graphics card users GeForce RTX 30 Series and 40 Series, and it seems that in the top-of-the-range models, this is causing some consumption similar to what we would have if we were playing a game.
On Reddit we can read some users who have been able to test the feature and have encountered this problem, because one of the users meets the highest quality consuming 250W on your RTX 3080while another RTX 4090 owner seems to get lower consumption, around 190W.
It wouldn’t be surprising if the NVIDIA RTX 40 Series were simply more efficient doing this rescaling, although if the workloads on the GPU are really that high, it would be important to think so much about the consumption of our equipment when carrying out tasks that apparently would not be such a big deal, as in the performance of the feature when it comes to the RTX 20 series Turing GPUs.
In any case, it is still early to draw too many conclusions, Well, since they are different users on Reddit, they may have used different configurations and sources from each other.
