Agree. 450W I understand for a top tier eye watering high end GPU, and some eventual special edition extremely overclocked pushing past 500W.These rumours have been going for ages and I still don't believe them. The thought of 600w or even 900w sustained on a consumer gpu, I can imagine so many issues, that I won't really believe it unless NVIDIA actually announces it.
Sever cards are different, I can fully believe that they have a 900w server card.

But 900W, what kind of cooling that would require for a normal user? Slapping a 360 aio to it won’t cut. Most tower coolers can manage reasonably well 200/250W. Last GPUs also manages pretty well 300/350W as long airflow in the case is good. But 900W, I can’t see a case dealing with that much unless using 12 delta fans on a O11D Evo.
just when electric prices have doubled you need a 1000w GPU to be economical lol
50 pence an hour to run it....
**** that, there was a trend for GPUs to less power, what happened to that? In CPUs it was called rocket lake.
