According to reports, NVIDIA has settled on the AD102-300 die for the RTX 4090, the company's next flagship desktop graphics card. Supposedly, the RTX 4090 will deliver 126 Streaming Multiprocessors (SMs), a few short of the AD102's die maximum offering. The RTX 4090 could only operate within a 450 W TGP though, contrary to earlier rumours.

Geez. I'm grateful for increased performance, but we're getting to the point where you're going to need a 1500W power supply and liquid cooling will be mandatory, possibly with several fans too.
At least you won't have to pay extra to heat your house in the winter. :D
What you save in winter you need for air cooling of the house in summer:(

Not to worry. You won't be able to use the AC since the GPU will pull so much power trying to use both will trip the breaker. Seriously, though, this ever-increasing TGP and talk of 1000+W GPUs... I wonder how much they're actually improving vs just throwing more power at them.
