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.

Oh, don't get me wrong, I have no doubts that the new cards will be more efficient, but that wont stop them from using more power than the ones they replace. And yes, part of that comes from having more, and faster, memory.

In any case, that doesn't change Marth's problem.
