    Or we could just return to GPU series where consumer models don’t even go anywhere near that 600W figure and simply use one or two 8-pin PCIe power connectors and call it a day.

    Consuming this much power for playing a game (and yes, that’s what most people use these cards for) is just silly.

      We went through a phase of high-power processors years ago with the Pentium 4 series and its offshoots, then things started getting more efficient instead. I wonder if we will soon see the same for GPUs or if we’ll be stuck on a high-power plateau for a long time.
