I guess big cases and delta fans will be back in style again. Guess the 4000 series will either be mandatory water cooled or be 4 slots wide with 3 screamer fans.

Lets put this in to context. Supposably the RTX 40 will use 500W of power, but this is only going to be for RTX specific games. Most games will draw far less than 500W.

I already use 500w on a 3090 with the strix bios........doesn't really buy many frames over the normal 380w

So a RTX 4060 (Non-Ti) will use 300 Watts?
I find that hard to believe.

This wont be true. They would be cutting out anyone using an SFX PSU and they will block 90% of the world with a regular PSU thats not sufficient. Not going to happen calling it now. But if it does at least you should have 30 seconds instead of 10 seconds to order a card on release.

I doubt this will be true for most of the lineup.
Maybe just for the ultra high end, with some multi chip card.

Lol Jesus Nvidia.
Pulling intel of the p4 era.
Lots of power and clock speed to remain fast.
Another thing that's makes me love my 6800xt so much.
215w avg stock settings.
5600x 65w avg @ 4.7 1.21v
Zero regrets leaving intel and Nvidia.

Crap man with the price of electric now at an all time high of 3000% in the UK. Soon i won't be able to power my 3090 let alone a near 1000w 4090. ^^

If this does pan out and we get the new red and green space heaters in the 7000/4000 series I bet there will be a nice shiny new series of power supplies also hitting the market the same time from the gpu manufacturers' and the other suppliers. Double dipping time.

Might as well buy two and Crossfire them.

This "new" leak is old news - since July it was rumored a 500W range power consumption for both AMD and Nvidia next gen cards:

guess i not buy 4xxx series just like 3xxx series, you wont be able to find at msrp and even if you do they prices will higher, or you can pay 2~3x price from scalper. add that to performance gains thare strickly from doubling the power useage?
No thanks that 1070ti will die first before i get new gpu.
Wake me whgen prices go back to normal the mid to highend card are 150~170 watts again.
This is not legit progress in performance gains
I shutter to think how hot the card run and how huge solution need to be.

This off-hand tweet is what goes for a "leak" these days? Really grasping, are we?

100% no way I will buy such a card and I wouldn't even run it if I got one for free. 500+W for a GPU is a clear sign Jentzen cannot read the signs written on each and every wall around this dying globe. Instead of going the right way they do what has been said for centuries....going down with a big party instead of trying to do it right and maybe safe our planet.
If Nvidia was Mercedes, Toyota or any other "normal" & "regulated" company they would have to go back to the drawing board cause no state or country would allow them to sell that card due to environmental "difficulties".
Nvidia, sit down, "F!" Do it again and now do it right or shut the F%$$ up and stop ruining my kids planet
A real angry dad of 3 seeing things going really wrong
My 2 cents
