Damn. When it gets to the point that your GPU needs to be on its own 15A circuit, I'm out.
i hope it uses 1.21gigawatts and creates enough energy for time travel!
How the hell do these things use up so much power?
I remember back in the olden days we approached 300w and that was considered high. But it seemed like each new generation tried to keep it around 300 or less
My R9 290 tops up at i think 275watts.....my 6600 is like half that.
AMD, Nvidia GPU Pricing Trends Lower as Supply Improves
No more stock issues for AMD cards, now they need to start selling them for at least close to what AMD.com has for prices!
Yeah, good luck with that!
More than a few 6900XT's at Microcenter dropped over $200 today. The Toxic 6900XT I've had my eye on dropped from $1799 to $1579.If they remain in stock the prices have to go down![]()
Imagine spending $1579 on a GPU to enable ray tracing in Dying Light 2, only to get 30 FPS at 1440p.
ASRock recommends a 1000w power supply for this 6900XT Formula OC but it seems to run just fine with 850w. I think manufacturers overestimate this on purpose for customers who have a ton of other devices competing for power.If my 850w power supply isn't sufficient I'm out. I'll happily stick with what I've got or go back to AMD if 7900 is reasonable.
The AMD drop currently requires the use of anti captcha services and queue buster software to have any shot at getting one on Thursday morning. It's a total sh1t show every single time and these services are completely hammered during the drops.No more stock issues for AMD cards, now they need to start selling them for at least close to what AMD.com has for prices!
Was it the limited or the extreme? I almost picked up a limited at one point until I found out only the extreme has the XTXH chip.More than a few 6900XT's at Microcenter dropped over $200 today. The Toxic 6900XT I've had my eye on dropped from $1799 to $1579.
Looks like the extreme is LC only? The price on that dropped $300 as well to $1789 or something.Was it the limited or the extreme? I almost picked up a limited at one point until I found out only the extreme has the XTXH chip.
SKU for the $1579 card is 11308-11-20G (damn looks like NewEgg wants $2100+ for it)
EDIT: The aforementioned LC Toxic is the limited edition. It's listed at $1729.
That company needs a new name. StealEgg? ShadyEgg?
