When is this 1300 PSU going to pay off?

At one time the deal was to run two GPUs linked together. Soon it will be run two PSUs.

I mean, there is only so many amps you can pull from a 110v circuit. So there is only so much wattage they can go with. I think the limit is like 1600W for 110v appliances. So it will be the same for PSU unless you get a dedicated 220v circuit to run your shit, lol.

I run 2x Neo G8 Odyssey's (4k / 240hz) and a 4090 with all the bells and whistles anyone could want in a gaming PC.

You 100% aren't running the majority of modern graphically intensive games at 4k at high/ultra with all the crap turned on and getting 240+ fps.

There are endless benchmarks with the 4090 for dozens of popular games that show this.

240 fps would be nutty. Anything beyond 90 is just eye candy. That said, it's 240 hz, which is the refresh rate of the monitor. IE - It refreshes that many times per second. It prevents any sort of "ghosting". When an image hasn't fully refreshed yet, and it's already trying to display something else.

Dedicated PSU’s for GPU’s is clown world.

They’re going to have to start listing estimated energy bills w these things.

This is common with servers. Wouldn't shock me for it to become more common for AI workstations and/or gaming PCs.

That's a huuuuuge overhead demand for gaming. No one's house is currently set up for that, and the cost/inconvenience of rewiring would dissuade 99% of the market in the US, never mind globally. That's ignoring the 35% of the US population that doesn't own their residence and doesn't get to make the call themselves.

LOL they will have an 'Energy Star' estimated yearly cost like a refrigerator (That may just be a USA thing though)

Bro 1st thing I did in the house I'm in was run (3) 120V dedicated lines to my game room and dual Cat5e's to the living room. I had 1 120v line for AC and two for the PC's. Easy as fuck to swap to 240V if needed. This was an extreme fixer upper (if I had not been in construction most of my life I would have been fucked) but running those lines was before even getting it livable. Also finished the game room LAST because I knew what I would be like if it was ready to go.

EDIT: Forgot to add, there is a next to 0% chance I'll get a 5xxx series card. I have a 7900XTX team red and it's perfectly fine. Plus current health situation , I probably could not afford them anyhow. That's at retail , never mind after the scalpers get hold of them.

Well in my case, with an older house I'm already at the limit of my breaker panel both in circuits and amperage. Adding anything requires a panel replacement and service upgrade, which at current trade prices in my area is north of $15k. The average house in the US was built circa 1980, so there are a lot of people in my position.

LOL my fuse box in the basement ia all maxxed out. I would have to put in a sub box and then run new lines for 220v (Prob like $600-$800 in parts alone) not only to my gaming room but to my 2 kids that both run gaming PC. It aint happening. PC gaming is jumping the fucking shark if they require 220v. Plus my electric bill in the winter months is already like $250- $300/month. Imagine 3 PC drawing 2K watts each. (while playing games of course)
