Ill be on my 6800xt unless something drastically changes and i just bought my RM 850 a year ago. Nvidia 4090ti or we might need a 1600w psu and 650w consumption lol

cool , now we can hook up a normal sized fridge to our personal computers , the future is gonna be great !!

no-one asked for another useless pci-e connector and for those damn 1.6KW psu. move you ass dear engineers and make better power usage on your shit expensive hardware that burns itself.

This is so damn relevant. GPUs and other hardware have been burning from bad design, components used or both. Do we really want to keep creeping on the power consumption? Has everyone forgot about global warming or just don't care? Also, I'd stay away from Asus until the lawsuits against them for lack of honouring warranties are over.

I just hope whatever they pick for the new pci-e connector because standard across both brands unlike that stupid connector nvidia tried pushing on their reference models. Both nvidia and AMD need to get together on this one to make a standard so we don't need any bs adapters

Sounds like it's going be standard for pci-e 5.0 cards this new 12 pin pci-e connector, probably make appearance on 4090 and 4080 ti?

Just bought Corsair HX750 and I'm not going to upgrade for very hungry GPUs. Forget it.

Not everyone believes that global warming exists.....especially not in the US where politics have completely overridden anything remotely resembling sense over the last several years.....

agree!....not to get political but I think they're all crazy!...both sides of the aisle! this one politician was going to tax farts! (methane exhaust tax)....and people wonder why I love beer?....:D

1600w? But I need 3090w for my RTX 5090 :P

This is getting out of hand. Remember how everyone was obsessed with low power etc? It seems we are hitting physical limits pretty badly.

I don't like where this is going. With current and soon ever going up electricity cost , it's just bad . It's not progress , it's just making beefier and beefier chips.

If they kept TDPs under a reasonable level, this wouldn't be an issue. GPUs shouldn't be using more than 300 W MAX under full load, and CPUs (at stock), maybe 150W!!!

BLEH!:

Current state of thinking when come better pefromance is THROW more wattage at it. it is a piss poor way to increase performance and short sighted. 200+ wattage for most mid range gpu and most cpu are now pushing 200+ under load too. all my system i made to date barely pull 400 watts under full load. that probably wont be happen any time soon again. I sure wont be make another system using the 750watt psu i have it 5 years old at this point if not more.

My main PC is a 6850K (150W OCed to 4 GHz), and a Radeon fury (stock clocks, -50% power, so draws 175 W), add on the ancillaries - maybe 5-600W, though I am running a 1500W PSU as a legacy from having multi-GPU setups...

Multi GPU era is coming back , but this time GPUs will be stacked on one BIG die , fed by ONE big CABLE , fed by ONE BIG PSU.... Just maybe 😀

A 5870 Xfire setup would draw @375 W...

Well.....global warming is real. So is climate change. That's pretty much where the facts end on the debate. It's not a topic that should have ever been political. If people would leave politics out of things that aren't inherently political, the world would be a much better place. Same thing with religion. If the topic itself isn't religious in nature, leave religion out of it. Facts are, global warming is real and is happening. Climate change is also real.....and has been happening for the entirety of this planet's existence. There is no possible way to stop climate change or global warming. They are natural cycles. Regardless of what we do, they will both keep on keeping on..... We are heading towards another ice age. Plain and simple. There's no possible way to stop it. Maybe all these "climate change activists" should start planting some trees instead of just wasting oxygen.

@BLEH! Yah i have nothing OCed so my total is well under 500 wattage my legacy (how you put) psu is left overs from my 920 which ran that for about 1 year cause original psu was RMA so the psu is 1 year on the 920 and how ever many i have had this 6700k, which i got 1 year after it initial release Next system will have probably 750 watt again but i might get one them 10year warrenty seasonics. i like my pc but not one that is a heater that could literately heat my room in winter. cause cpu and gpu wattage is out of control

You seemed to have missed the point a little. No one is saying we can prevent it, and if they did they were probably misinterpreted by the media to create clickbait headlines to rile people up. What people are saying is that humans are negatively effecting the climate of the planet and causing global warming to accellerate climate change, which yes is a natural thing that always happens. The thing is its happening at an alarming rate as opposed to what is should be. People are saying we can slow this down by changing the way we live, by changing the way corporations operate their business, moving to more sustainable energies, and moving away from buring fossel fuels. Sure, its going to happen eventually, there is no stopping it. But changing these things sooner could of easily have prevented catastrophic natural disasters that wouldn't have happened otherwise or wouldn't have been so bad. The activists are trying to prevent it from happening sooner than it should. That is all. Sure there probably are some nut jobs amoungst them that think they are going to reverse it and save the world. There are nut jobs on both sides of the argument. Making it political is also very much needed, there is only so much activists can do. In the end polocies, regulations and laws are passed by the people we put in power. To prevent corportations from doing what they have been doing requires these laws to be passed. Although that is easier said than done as most the people in power are easily brought by the same corporations. So activism is needed to push the agenda and push the message that this is what the people want. If the politicians want to stay in power then they better listen to those people otherwise they won't be in power for long.
