Yep, when I started pushing the RTX 3080 with ray tracing, power draw went through the roof and I had to slap on some water cooling—honestly, this trend is gonna push cooling and PSU planning to the next level for future GPU choices. I think energy efficiency isn’t just an option anymore; it’s a necessity.
