"1000 W+ PSUs will just be the standard soon": Nvidia allegedly pushing Lovelace to its limits to beat AMD RDNA 3

[Redaktion]

Serial leaker Tom of Moore's Law Is Dead YouTube channel suggests that Nvidia will give the RTX 4090 an insane TBP. Per one of Tom's sources, Nvidia is going to drive Lovelace as hard as it can to make sure that AMD doesn't take the performance crown from Team Green.

Wenn man einen 1kW-Computer 10h pro Tag zum Preis von 0,3€/kWh nutzt, kostet das €3/d oder €1096/a Stromkosten. Das ist es, was Nvidia von uns will: ein Vielfaches für Strom zahlen, als was eine RTX 4080 kosten wird.

For years I have read users complaining about cards efficiency.
Now will see if for maybe 5% performance difference they will consider this or use 1/3 of the average residential available power (here the residential contract is normally 3 kW) just to supply a ridicolous PC.

Smells a lot like Intel vs AMD

@David445

Seriously your residences only get 3Kw a day?

I looked.  My house has a 200amp service which allows up to 48Kw in a day (many houses only have 24Kw and smaller houses can be as low as 12kw?  I'm actually planning to upgrade to allow for triple electric car chargers (40-80amps depending on the car) so I'll be taking it up to 400amp (96Kw a day).

I guess I can see why you would be concerned but we don't all live like that.  For me a Kw/h of energy cost $0.075.  So running a 1000w computer for 3 hours 5 nights a week cost $5 a month.
