[Benchmark] 5090RTX: Promt Parsing, Token Generation and Power Level
  • A British Reddit user conducted a benchmark test on their NVIDIA RTX 5090 GPU, focusing on prompt parsing and token generation.
  • The results showed that the GPU’s power consumption ranged between 400W to 600W in increments of 25W. The maximum observed power was at 592W when set to 600W, but it stabilized around 580W even with no upper limit.
  • The user noted a significant difference from their previous setup involving an RTX 4090 GPU, where the max values were often higher by about 10-12W. This suggests that newer models like the RTX 50 series may have more pronounced power spikes, even under similar conditions.
  • The benchmark highlighted how sensitive prompt processing is to power limits compared to token generation, which exhibited a nearly linear relationship at these settings.
