Nvidia RTX 4090 graphics card power demands could make Thor weep

>

Nvidia’s RTX 4090 graphics card is a power-guzzling beast, that’s a given, but we weren’t expecting to see some of the numbers third-party card manufacturers recommend for the power supply wattage (PSU) required by this GPU.

In some cases, we’re looking at a 1000W recommendation, and one company has even pushed the demand to 1200W, an unimaginably required wattage not too long ago. (Note that this is the PSU’s wattage, not the card usage).
