The thing here is I limit my build by power draw

I have a 500W PSU and I want everything to fit within that.
And from what I've heard the 4000 series is going to draw even more power than the previous ones and those are already going up and up.

My 970 has a 150W TDP, a 2070 hit 185W and a 3070 is now rated at 220W and I personally think this is stupid. At this rate the 4070 will be a 250W+ card and with my build I would have to wait for a 4050.

Nvidia and AMD should get their shit together when it comes to power efficiency.

I have bad news for you, then: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 Gets 24 GB GDDR6X Memory at 21 Gbps & 600W TDP, RTX 4070 Gets 12 GB GDDR6 Memory at 18 Gbps & 300W TDP https://wccftech.com/nvidia-geforce-rtx-4090-24-gb-21-gbps-600w-rtx-4070-12-gb-18-gbps-300w-graphics-cards-rumor/

It's a rumor, of course, but if the 4070 is indeed a 300W card, then the 4060 could be 250W, and the 4050 around 200W.

I personally don't think a 4060 will be 250 Watts as they are aiming to be more "efficient" than Ampere. Just the wattage is going up for the class of GPU.

For example, if a 4070 is 300 Watt TDP, that is more efficient than a 3090 at 350 Watt TDP even though both of them should have a similar performance target.

So a 4060 Ti will probably be around 280 Watts as that will compete against 3080 12GB and 4060 will probably be around 200 Watts as the TDP of a 3070 is 220 Watts. But anyway you cut it, 500 watt PSU will probably be a 50 class at this point.
