And the 5090 probably starting at 3200$ CAD.

750 W max power consumption
Comes with a list of electricians certified to install the required dedicated 240v hard line.
At last they went with a recognised standard cable this time
480v is more power efficient
True. But that's stock, need to gradually increase it (via your local transformer station) to overclock it. Luckily stock fans can run directly at that voltage.
750W is the idle draw.
750 W ~~max~~ min power consumption
Don't forget to adjust for inflation between now and the launch date.
512bit server headless cards, 64bit bus on 5090 because it's 4GB of gram is like rally fast.
Im not salty, I just miss the good old GPU days, from like Voodoo 1 to, idk, 8800 gtx or 1080ti.
I've had a (probably wrong) take on the ridiculous direction modern GPUs have gone, that isn't just because of crypto mining, ridiculous profit margins and machine learning. From when I got into the hobby until the release of the PS5 and whatever Xbox competed with it, if you built a PC at a similar budget to a console, it would consistently outperform it. The PC I built 8 years ago has started showing its age but in its prime was about 1½ times the cost of a console for triple the power, now 1½ the cost of a console more or less gets you a console.
Part of that is the horrendous inflation of PC parts, particularly the GPUs, but also that the hobby has shifted away from being competitive against consoles to having no chance of being cost competitive. When they stopped being in competing fields, the cost of PC parts just exploded.
Can't disagree there.
But let's be hopeful, CPU (especially desktop) were kinda advancing very slowly for a decade or so & have now picked up significantly (eg a mid tier i5 gen 13 or 14 basically outperforms all gen 10, including my 5900x home server, it's just an actual advancement which I haven't seen in a long time, and yes, I blame AMD for it, Im glad they are going strong).
I've only had two consoles, the 2600 and PS5 (which I only used to pay two games, lul). And I basically now have a desktop PC that I mostly use as a console (except for fps, I needs my mouser for that) or for music.
Man, my 3070 already trips the breaker in my shitty extra bedroom if my PC isn't the only thing running in that room.
I hate that modern gaming development is "just use more RAM/VRAM bro" and people don't seem to have any issue with that.
This is not about the amount of vram but bandwidth.
Nvidia will probably not increase vram sizes as they want to push non gaming users to more expensive cards with more vram.
