When assembling a high-performance PC featuring the NVIDIA RTX 4090 graphics card, selecting the appropriate power supply unit (PSU) is paramount. The RTX 4090, known for its substantial power requirements, necessitates a PSU that can deliver consistent and reliable power to ensure optimal performance and system stability.
The NVIDIA RTX 4090 has a typical graphics power (TGP) of approximately 450W. However, the total system power consumption can vary based on other components such as the CPU, motherboard, storage devices, and peripherals. To accommodate these demands and provide headroom for peak loads, a PSU with a higher wattage is recommended.
