50 amps if evenly distributed shouldn’t be that much of a problem. The distribution is the problem though. And the lack of headroom just makes it all the more worse. 12v 2x6 should have been limited to 500 watts or even 450 watts, and even then that’s pushing it as we found out with the 4090 and bad connections.

The fact that we’re discussing literal space heater output levels for a fucking graphics card is insane enough.
Since putting a 4080 in my bedroom, I’ve not once run my heat, and usually have to keep my window open at least an inch too cool the room off…
I live in Canada, it’s currently winter. Window’s open.
Really leans into the fact that efficiency means absolutely nothing to GPU manufacturers compared to a 5% gain just by stuff some more watts into it
The 9070 non-XT seems to be relatively efficient per frame!
AMDs always get a wack, ultra safe, and high voltage. I undervolt all my AMD GPUs and CPUs. Makes quite the difference.
