    The worst is still around: that GPU’s require more and more power. I wished more focus on efficiency. Not long until water cooling is mandatory, to get all the heat away.

      They are. GTX 590 from 2011 has a TDP of 375W. RTX 4080 has 320W, while offering over ten times better performance. 4060 outperforms the 1060, 2060 and 3060 while having a lower TDP than any of them.

      If you want low TDP, the RX 6400 is twice as powerful as the 590 while having a TDP of 53W.

      It’s the very top of the line stuff like 4090 that push the limit by achieving that very last 10% performance bump at the cost of using double the power, and that’s kinda like complaining a Bugatti Veyron gets terrible highway MPG figures.
