Notes on 5 values — test conditions and caveats
  1. 1NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090, Recommended PSU: NVIDIA's minimum for a PC with a Ryzen 9 9950X; it recommends a PCIe CEM 5.1 compliant PSU.
  2. 2NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060, Power connectors: Reference card takes one 8-pin (adapter in the box); some partner models use a 6-pin instead.
  3. 3NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090, DisplayPort version: DisplayPort 2.1b at UHBR20 on all three DP outputs.
  4. 4NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060, Hardware encode: Checked pages only confirm AV1 encode; H.264/HEVC encode is not stated.
  5. 5NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090, Slot width: The card is 2-slot, but NVIDIA's install guide asks for 3-slot (61 mm) case clearance.
