A user named Erek tested the RTX 5090 while running DLSS 5 in the game NBA 2K27. During the testing process, the GPU's power consumption exceeded 600W, which led to the connector burning out.
For comparison, MSI suggests a rated power of 575W for this connector. The user measured a total motherboard power consumption of approximately 613.5W, although this figure includes more than just the RTX 5090.
The normal power consumption for this graphics card typically ranges between 450W and 600W. The recorded values exceeded this range, highlighting the high system stress caused by the current version of DLSS 5.
