Yeah thats crazy. Get fucked if you bought a 1KW PS, you will need at least 1200 now, lol. Fucking space heater, lol.

Not historically. PCIe 4 cards can run in PCIe 3 slots. And a 4090 doesn't saturate PCIe 4. Possible that the 5090 may, but doubtful.

At x16 you're talking 64GB/s. You'd probably have to be under some heavy AI workload to hit that, I seriously doubt gaming will need that.

Christ man I got a 1000W about this time last year along with other internals (i7 13700 + mobo/ram and a 2 TB SSD) to bring the rest of my rig in line with the 3090 I got in 2021. Here i was thinking the PSU would survive the next round of upgrades, maybe not.

The latter, though transient spikes are not just an Nvidia problem.
I recall Steve Burke doing some kind of video stating that most PSU wattage requirements are overkill as long as the PSU itself is decent quality. But given that it's only usually a $10 difference for an additional 100Ws within one discrete family of power supplies, I'd personally rather go overkill. It may be a "waste of money," but given that a good PSU can last 10+ years, the amount of money that you're really wasting is pretty minimal.
