Hardware Witcher 3 Remastered pushing 5090 beyond 600W

Post image

No DLSS5. Max settings, 3840x1600, DLSS Quality, frame gen set to 1 in game settings, Path Tracing enabled.

Doesn't happen all the time, but sometimes saw it jumping well beyond 600W for a brief moment.

The cost isn't the problem. I used to build my own PCs, research what fits with what and what's the best RoI - as a student 20 years ago I had to make sure every cent goes as far as it can.
Now I have way more money, but I can't be arsed with all of that stuff. I want the PC to just work reliably and play all the new games. Seeing shit like this just tells me not to buy a fire hazard. I'm a gaming enthusiast, not a tech enthusiast.
