You know there is a power consumption issue when Intel had to create a new PSU standard to address the outrageous power consumption on the RTX40 series GPUs.

Dont forget the $500 increase over last gen's model.
Gee they all look so good I think i want to buy one for everyday of the week and sleep with them. I wonder if they make 4080 bikinis?

EVGA's "Not An RTX4090" should give other manufacturers a few hints of how GPUs should be done.

These 4080s are comically large. I wonder if Nvidia is going to force change in the way motherboards and cases are laid out. The ATX motherboard may no longer be sufficient once the 5000 series launches.

I'm hoping for mass rejection by actual gamers. This efficiency-be-damned performance race is starting to feel a lot like the Netburst era. Except this time around, instead of being datacenter efficiency driving a return to sanity, it may be actual gamers wanting more modest and cost-effective GPUs after the 2nd crypto-boom that caused AMD and Nvidia to lose touch with their alleged core audience for GPUs.
