I’m prepared for it…although I think I’ll hold off upgrading my GPU until the RTX7090 comes out

I just can't accept this, I really hope AMD take a bit more responsibility and don't follow suit, it's just getting stupid now.
I thought I was overdoing it with a 1200W ATX3 PSU!!!
I realise this is a server grade card, but these things tend to bubble down to the consumer market

"Steam reaches a new all time high for users"
"I dunno about that, I've played counter strike with voice chat on, and I've heard some pretty high users, so that's a high bar to set."

I’ll have to wire the whole lot of my solar panels directly to the PC and forego the battery or feeding anything back into the grid.
Although I was considering topping up the battery on a cheap tariff overnight, solely to power the PC

IMHO online multiplayer chat was an all time low.

Up to the GTX1080ti 650w was the de facto standard for like a decade previous, and even the RTX2080ti was 650w min PSU.I’ll have to wire the whole lot of my solar panels directly to the PC and forego the battery or feeding anything back into the grid.

Now we’ve got the GPU alone hitting that within 2 generations.
I thought I’d gone suitably overboard with a 1200w ATX3 PSU but now I’m questioning that.
Just bonkers.

From what I understand the new ATX3 standard accounts for transient spikes up to double the rating of the PSU, but yeah, if anyone's on an older ATX2 PSU, it's highly unlikely it's going to support anything above mid-tier, guess a lot of people will have to accept replacing their PSU's to accommodate a high end GPU.imagine transient spikes factored in as well

They’ll have to start making modular PSUs, so you can link 2 or more together as needed.
I’m also assuming the HX1200i I’ve ordered is the latest ATX3/PCIE5 model and not the older ATX2/PCIE4 model, as PCS’s descriptions are useless.

Was thinking of treating myself to a new GPU next year (gotta set up for GTA6!), but my 850w may not be able to hack it. Then again, when I bought this PC, 1000w was seen as complete overkill at the time - madness!

It’s not entirely clear even on corsairs site as they seem to list 2 HX1200i units, one which is ATX3 and one which is ATX2.4
I would give PCS a call just to be sure. If it’s not, I think their HX1500i unit is ATX3
