Yea the power requirements is getting to stupid levels. It's one thing to have high power requirements with Halo products like the 4090 but it's super dumb to continuously increase the power requirements of the budget class. The types of people buying a 4060 aren't buying it cause they have a shit ton of funds. They are buying it cause they need a budget GPU. When the power goes up to 3070 level, at that point, the GPU needs good cooling capabilities which means now you have a bigger GPU. Bigger GPU means now you need a good enough case that has good air flow. And of course, you also need make sure your power supply is capable of delivering the power without shutting down your entire computer during power spikes. Not to mention the additional heat and etc.
To a 4080/4090 buyer, it may not matter as much cause they are targeting the best performance that money can buy. But 4070 and below? This is getting stupid...
