Wccftech says a single power connector may be holding back the RTX 5090
Wccftech reports a 17% performance gap in DLSS 5 tests between the RTX 5090 Founders Edition at 575W and MSI’s dual-connector RTX 5090 Lightning Z drawing 723W.
TLDR
A single 12V-2×6 power connector could be limiting the GeForce RTX 5090, Wccftech reports. The outlet describes the Founders Edition struggling at 575W while MSI’s RTX 5090 Lightning Z, equipped with two power connectors, drew 723W. Its reported 17% performance gap with DLSS 5 raises the possibility that the single connector is holding the card back.
