      It’s funny that my milling machine could actually need less than my graphics card. Like, it cuts metal

      Honestly it’s crazy how much power flagship GPUs consume. Aside from it never being even envisioned in the ATX spec it’s just a giant waste of electricity.

      GPUs should be made more power efficient not more power hungry.

        Technically, the RX 9700 XT is AMDs Flagship, and with only 2 8-Pins, consumes max. 300W.

          No, technically it’s the 9700xtx

          Also, power draw is more like 350-400
