Not sure where you live, but there are tons of nice houses that are over 20 years old. My house is over 20 years old and I am the demographic that would buy this product.
Not sure why you insist on taking every point to the extreme as if there are zero exceptions ever. The average user and 100% of users are not interchangeable terms. 20 years isn't some magical number when the 1st 20A circuit was used in a US house. That's just a rough estimate about when they became more common.
50v can kill you under the right conditions. 50w 60w choose your weapon. It is not safe of safer. AC is safer to get knocked on your rear end than DC. Why? Sign-wave compared to constant voltages.
You're not going to have any issues with a 1200W PSU for years to come. A 600w peak GPU is not going to change anything.
I don’t know, have you looked at the “Unrecord” trailer. It gets pretty photo realistic at times…
Wow. I had not seen that. If that is actually real it is impressive.
Because your statement that most houses can support 20A is absurd. That is the only point I am calling out because it was dumb. At most, only 20% of houses that have ever been built in the US are 20 years old or less. Have some data: https://www.statista.com/statistics/1041889/construction-year-homes-usa/
Newer houses like mine come with 20 amp circuits. Older houses would need to validate wire gage to see if they can be upgraded to 20 amp service, or the wires would have to be replaced.
That's some clever BS'ing you're doing. I never said most houses in the US. Quote me where I said that. You said that, then tried to counterargue the point.
Trust me it is, in fact another company stole their idea and graphics style and quickly rushed out a multiplayer game called “BodyCam” that you can download and play. These guys aren’t as good as the Unrecord developers but they get about 80% there compared to Unrecord’s “photo-realistic” adjacent graphics. Unrecord is going to be a single player game in the likes of Swat 4 and Ready or Not. I’m eagerly waiting for its release.
You stated that 2200 watts was going to be enough for quite awhile in a blanket statement, like most people have access to that (they don't). Then you stated that people that have houses older than 20 years are not the demographic of people who buy expensive video cards (apparently insinuating that people living in houses over 20 years old are all poor computer illiterate cavemen). To quote you directly: "The average 5090 owner isn't likely going to be living in a 40 year old mobile home with shoe laces for wiring. "
There no future proof with psu they die overtime... if you want push the 1200w psu with high mileage you will have a big surprise.
Yes, because it's the amps that kill you. So if you have a low voltage outlet (e.g. 110 or 50V, you will need a large amount of amps (20A or 40A respectively) to provide the same ~2,000W power as a higher voltage outlet - 10A usually being enough for a 240V). Electric fences are usually 5,000V - perfectly safe since they run them at 0.1 amps.
Rumored dual 12vhpwr connectors might … psu only has one. But this is rumor. Sure about that 600w GPU + say 7950x rated 230w but can peak at 300w, that’s 900w alone … throw in ram,, ssd/hdd , mboard itself, cooling … that can easily be another 100-200w, and then need for 20% head room … 1200w aeems bare minimum … you’ll need 1350-1500 to operate safely?
PSU peak efficiency is typically 50-75% load. No home user is going to be running sustained loads above that with a 1200W PSU unless they run Furmark and Prime 95 at the same time all day long. Spikes up to 100% of the PSU rating are fine. When Nvidia rates the 4090 at 450W TDP. That's peak power draw, not typical power draw. It's practically impossible to max out all the components in your PC at once when gaming or any application a home user would come across.
Agree, it’s peak, but that’s the concern peak will blow it out as there isn’t a ton of headroom… it wouldn’t be sustained
Well hang on a second. "Taking every point to the extreme"? You literally stated that anyone without 20A circuits lives in a mobile home "with shoelaces for wiring". That's pretty extreme rhetoric. Maybe tone it down a bit.
So, um... You're implying people should put computers in bathrooms?
We already do. Well, cellphones are basically a low-end computer, and, as we all know, on the bowl is the most popular place for using a cellphone.
