Next gen cards to consume up to 500 watts

Will need a 1000w psu next year and electricity bill will be through the roof !

They'll cost £2000 and come bundled with a PSU

doesnt surprise me, though on other hand the switch 5nm for nvidia i would have thought they are more efficient, so iwould take it with a last pinch of salt until the facts come out

PCI-SIG should start enforcing standards and declare such cards as not valid PCIe cards.

I've got 1200w psu and three 360mm radiators

let's see who wins, 500w gpu or my system

I won't be buying a card with more than 300Watts of power. After 300Watts it starts to become unbearable during summer.

Hopefully next gen cards can achieve close to 3090 performance at 300Watts. Will be a nice upgrade to my 3070Ti by then.

Remember that if true these will be the top-top £2k+ cards, the current situation has if nothing else proven there's a market for them

^^This too. Mine wasn't half pumping out some heat when it was v warm!!

500W is too high for me, added with screen, speakers and the rest of my system it would rack up electricity bills to the point where my partner would flip out. I already get blamed for the bill lol

You won't have to run heaters in winter = lower electric bills

That's a very pessimistic outlook!

I don't think games will become so power hungry for simple gaming this quickly, cards will be developed to play at mid 3070 levels of detail and with the 5nm power consumption shouldn't be an issue

Dont joke I've seen a well known retailer doing just that in a bundle.

The 3090 can already do 95% of 3090 performance at 300w so yeah it won't take much to beat that

 

[Grim5]

This high power draw will just be for the high end models

don't get ya panties in a bunch guys, entry and mid range cards will still be 170-250w.
The high end is pushed up to 500w just because Nvidia and AMD want to fight for top dog spot and bragging rights

yeh, I would expect 3090 perf at ~200w next gen.

Anyone who buys a top tier card can easily afford the electricity and a new PSU so it doesn't matter.

 

[newuser]

I've got a 10700k and 3090. Until they can do double the performance for the same power output at the same price they can do one.

it's not about whether someone can afford the electricity it's about whether someone wants to sit next to a space heater, especially if you desk is not by a window.

 

[GloriousMess]

Mini-ITX is going to be even harder to cool if you want a top tier card. Sigh. 500W is a lot, I don't want that sort of power draw for a single component. It just doesn't seem worth it.
