A user on r/LocalLLaMA shared findings on reducing the power limit of an NVIDIA RTX 5090 graphics card for AI inference. By lowering the power limit to 480W, the card experienced only a negligible performance decrease of about 2.1% in decoding and 8.8% in prefill, while significantly reducing noise, heat output, and power consumption. This optimization is presented as a worthwhile trade-off for users concerned with the operational environment of their inference machines. AI
