Activate DLSS 5 passes bill to both the performance and the consumption of our graphics card, but it seems that there is room to contain at least one part of the problem. A user has shared a comparison of DLSS 5 with its RTX 4090 where it manages, surprisingly, to maintain the same FPS by reducing consumption by 47W with something well known among those who adjust their GPUs: apply undervolt. The results are interesting, although it is appropria…

A test performed by a user shows that the subvoltage of a RTX 4090 allows to limit overconsumption related to DLSS 5. The power is reduced by almost 50 W while keeping the same image frequencies. The article An undervolting of a RTX 4090 reduces consumption by 47 W on DLSS 5 without losing performance appeared first on Overclocking.com.

The user Reddit om_the_best_ has shown a simple way to reduce the energy consumption of the video card without losing productivity at DLSS 5.
