I wish there was more backlash about this.

Some of tech YouTubers like Linus Tech Tip mention the power usage, but meme about it.

      :rage-cry: No! You're supposed to want smaller transistors! We've organized all of production around Moore's law, you can't just be satisfied with the performance of an Outdated board.

          Not exactly. Nvidia's new processors are on a new node and would be able to deliver the same performance at a much lower power useage. Or better performance at the same power usage. But since AMD's upcoming GPUs are expected to be good Nvidia needed even more performance, so they increased the power usage

      Yep I’ve got the same card, I was worried it was about to kick the bucket when my computer would shut down playing more demanding games but slightly underclocking it made it work fine with no noticeable performance decrease
