Possible Galax GeForce RTX 3090 Ti is seen with a 600W PCIe Gen5 power supply.
@wxnod, a known leaker, has posted an alleged picture of Galax's custom GeForce RTX 3090 Ti graphics card with the next-generation 12+4-pin (12VHPWR) PCIe 5.0 auxiliary power connection.
Galax's custom GeForce RTX 3090 Ti graphics card would reportedly feature a triple-wide cooling system and a 12+4-pin (12VHPWR) auxiliary power connector, according to a picture published by @wxnod (note that all other images are of the Galax GeForce RTX 3090 Boomstar from the company's website). Because the new ATX 3.0/PCIe 5.0 power connection may supply between 150W and 600W to an add-in-board (AIB), we can only make educated assumptions regarding the Galax product's power usage.
Galax's Boomstar line is exclusive to China, thus it's unclear whether all of Galax's GeForce RTX 3090 Ti will include the next-generation 12VHPWR power socket or will retain the eight-pin PCIe auxiliary power connector.
That's all there is to show though. Since September 2020, Nvidia has begun shipping premium GeForce RTX 30-series Founders Edition graphics cards with a 12-pin power connection. While the 12-pin power connector is considered a unique technology of Nvidia, the only distinction between it and the industry-standard 12+4-pin (12VHPWR) auxiliary power connector is the absence of four sensing lines. Indeed, Nvidia's Founders Edition boards are fully compatible with next-generation power supplies equipped with auxiliary PCIe 5.0 power connectors. Nvidia is anticipated to unveil its top GeForce RTX 3090 Ti graphics card on March 29 and immediately begin selling it. The new top-of-the-line model is said to be built on the GA102 GPU, which features 10,752 CUDA cores (up from 10,496 on the RTX 3090), and is coupled via a 384-bit interface to 24GB of Micron's GDDR6X memory. With these features, the board is expected to top our list of the best gaming graphics cards in the first half of 2022. The unit's power consumption is predicted to be around 450W.

Looks like the rumors for 4090 750W could be true. They gonna get killed in efficiency next gen.

Efficiency is basically frames per watt, right? For all we know they might be more efficient, but these numbers are ridiculous. It's 55 eurocents per kilowatt hour for new contracts in Germany right now, this cannot continue.

To be fair though, the big nvidia chips can be undervolted a whole lot, and retain most of their performance. Using half the watt at like 90% of the performance.
