Notes on 5 values — test conditions and caveats
- 1NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050, Recommended PSU: NVIDIA's 550 W minimum assumes a Ryzen 9 9950X system; requirements vary with your configuration.
- 2NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Super, Recommended PSU: NVIDIA's 750 W minimum assumes a PC with a Ryzen 9 5900X; needs vary by configuration.
- 3NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050, Power connectors: Native input is one 8-pin; NVIDIA's 300 W+ PCIe Gen 5 PSU-cable option works via the in-box adapter.
- 4NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Super, Power connectors: Card takes a 16-pin 12V-2x6 connector; a 3x PCIe 8-pin adapter ships in the box for PSUs without a PCIe Gen 5 cable.
- 5NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050, DisplayPort version: NVIDIA specifies UHBR20 on these DisplayPort 2.1b outputs.
