RTX 5080 Super surfaces on Seasonic PSU calculator with notably high power draw

At this point, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 50 Super line of graphics cards seems like a pipe dream. All hope is not lost, though, as leakers are optimistic about a CES 2027 reveal. Sure, it might cost an arm and a leg, but the extra VRAM will definitely come in handy for those who can afford it. Videocardz has now spotted its top-spec model-the RTX 5080 Super-on Seasonic's PSU Wattage calculator.

The graphics card is said to draw about 415 Watts at its peak, notably higher than the 360 Watts drawn by the regular RTX 5080. That figure aligns with an earlier leak, which predicted the RTX 5080 Super's power draw to be 420 Watts. Whether or not it will use the controversial 12VHPWR supply remains to be seen. At that power draw, it seems plausible. Alongside the noticeably high power draw, the RTX 5080 Super will also offer 24 GB of GDDR7 VRAM and a full GB203 GPU with 10,752 CUDA cores.

Next, Seasonic's website states that the RTX 5070 Ti Super has a peak power draw of 350 Watts (up from 300 Watts on the RTX 5070 Ti), and the RTX 5070 Super caps out at 275 Watts (up from 250 Watts on the RTX 5070). The RTX 5070 Ti Super is tipped to match the RTX 5080 Super and offer 24 GB of GDDR7 VRAM, while the RTX 5070 Super will offer 18 GB (6x 3 GB modules), making it one of the first consumer GPUs to offer that much video memory.

As always, Nvidia has yet to acknowledge the existence of an RTX 50 Super lineup. And given how much of Nvidia's attention is now focused on AI, don't be surprised if the cards end up playing second fiddle at CES 2027-assuming they show up at all.
