that's so dumb framerate beyond a certain point is imperceptable to humans. That's like insisting on the computer storing all the colors that are in nature but can't be percieved by human eyes
Yeah. The PC that I built 10+ years ago and only retired earlier this year was running with a 650W supply for the entire system (and that was with some overhead and a 1070).
To pile on: when building a PC a critical part is a power supply unit or PSU, which is just a big AC/DC adapter for all the parts of the computer. You can see a list here: https://www.newegg.com/Power-Supplies/SubCategory/ID-58?Tid=7657
You'll note the are rated in Watts they can support.
Is 600W a lot?
yes, the one on the left is the overclocked 4090. Founders Editions is "only" 450w.
the highest end card just 3 generations ago (1080Ti) had a TDP of 250W
and how often are you gonna hit peak load on that thing if you're not doing legit use-case stuff like rendering cgi for indie films?
Gaming with uncapped frame rate can use that much power

Usually IME letting it cap will fuck up my performance. I don’t need 70+ fps but it’ll stutter if I keep letting it hit 60 and 59
yea, the second review i linked has it running Cyberpunk at 1440p at Ultra and still hits over 450w.
also, 360Hz monitors are slowly starting to take off among rich gamer nerds.
no framerate or resolution listed, no idea what they think "typical" is
in this review its listed
If you use it only for it's space-heating functionality, it'd be enough to heat a 10x10 shed when it's in the 30s.
It's like 6 60 inch flatscreen TVs in terms of power consumption

Yeah it's mad. No need for it really
Clearly you're not running Crysis at full settings.

Power consumption is fucking bananas now.
That used to be enough to run all the components in your PC. I think mine is like 750 all in.

I have whole ass desktop computers that run on less that 600W.
