Having the option to slow down a game isn't the worst thing.<br><br>If you're dealing with solar, UPS, any kind of limited supply it's nice to cut performance in exchange for play time.,(reply>), @Eikott yes just make a xbox with a low performance gpu = less power consumed,(reply>), @Archon83 A 4090 clocked to perform as a 4080 would be vastly more power efficient.<br>Look at 3kliksphillip's video on it.,(reply>), @Archon83 It's a Playstation, dumbass, not a GPU.,(reply>), @Glen Waldrop Maybe just buy an efficient graphics card or is your offgrid only for a few days ? Nono im gonna buy a 4090 but let it run on 4080 speeds GG! Big brain.,(reply>), @aZa well they're "effecient" in the sense that their performance per watt is way lower, but because the overall performance is higher, so is the power draw.<br>In the same way as the gtx280 was if you look back 10 years, it's pushed to its absolute limits out of the box.<br><br>The founders cooler was specc'd for an even less effecient node too, could have been worse.<br><br>As for the connector, it seems to be a mix of the high power draw, tight cable bending which can create a short/hot point and possible grounding issues with those dummy smart pins with nvidias in box adapter.
