    600W is going require some serious cooling and is going to generate a lot of noise. I am not at all surprised by these requirements.

      The CPU is maybe another couple hundred watts, too. I mean, it’s not just your case that’s going to need cooling. At some point, the room is going to start needing some kind of ventillation or something when the thing is spooled up.

    The site recommends a psu of at least 1000W. It’s gonna be tons of fun when you turn on your computer and your fuses trip because of an overloaded network

    nVidia pretty much makes cards like these for every generation, they just don’t get released because the excess power and price required to get that last 5% of performance is just bonkers due to massive diminishing returns.
    Guess they are betting on there being enough people with way more money that sense to actually sell these to this time around.

    sounds like a jet engine

    If you stick multiple of them in one case, I imagine that it can sound like a whole jet plane.
