Intel Arc Alive & Well for Next-gen - Battlemage GPU Spotted During Malaysia Lab Tour

Yeah, I am NEVER going to understand people with high/top end GPU's complaining about electricity costs. Sorry, just no.

One assumes that if you can afford a pool you can afford to maintain it. If you can't afford maintenance you should not have the pool in the first place. I really do not believe that people with RTX 4090 care about their power bills.
First world issues, lol

I plan to build a AMD 6950xt or 7900xt into my build. The first has been to calculate the PSU-size. The energy delivering company will be happy to have me as a customer. :D Right now with my actual rig (3800x, 5700XT) i have a yearly power bill of around 3800kWh. Usually used by a 3 person household. And that will raise as my new rig will have a 7950X and a (ket's say) 7900XT running at 24/7.

1 person 2750 kWh as such a high end card would literally be another nail in the coffin
 
Aehh. Nope. A bit more than 2.750kWh. One person 3.818 kWh. ;)

If one needss a electrical Wheelchair, has (2) 3D Printers (SLA, FDM), needs to use a router for telephoning (because of IP telephony charged by the provider) and cook electrically every day that could happen. I'm paying round about 120€ per month for the electrical energy. Therefor i don't need much for heating and hot water (side costs of the rent). Also my salary is not the lowest as a freelancer.At all my anual income tax is much nuch higher
