i never heard someone say that they care about consumption

Sigh, This conversation just made me realize a GPU upgrade just got ~$450 more expensive for me.  Ran a CPU and GPU stress test on my computer at same time and currently peaking at 901 watts.  That with a Geforce 1080 so I can see a Geforce 3090 pushing it over 1000.  The good news is I got a 1600 Watt PSU so no problem there.

Bad news is the UPS I use is only rated for 1000 watts.  I could just bypass it and put computer on a regular surge protector but I really prefer the computer to shut down correctly during power outage.  Cheapest decent UPS I could find that provides enough power is Cyber power PR1500LCD which is 1500 watts and going to set me back another $450.

Yikes! That would make me have second (and third!) thoughts about getting the card or not.



Please excuse my bad English.
