The first salvo of RTX 50 series GPU will arrive in January, with pricing starting at $549 for the RTX 5070 and topping out at an eye-watering $1,999 for the flagship RTX 5090. In between those are the $749 RTX 5070 Ti and $999 RTX 5080. Laptop variants of the desktop GPUs will follow in March, with pricing there starting at $1,299 for 5070-equipped PCs.
It’s clear what must be done - all US household sockets must be changed to 220V. Sure, it’ll be a notable expense, but it’s for the health of the gaming industry.
Don’t be silly.
Just move your PC to your laundry room and plug it into the 240V dryer outlet.
It’ll buy us about 8 more years. At this rate, the TGP is increasing at about 10% per year:
3090: Late 2020, 350W 4090: Late 2022, 450W 5090: Early 2025, 575W
Therefore, around 2037, a single 90-tier GPU will pop a 110V breaker, and by 2045, it will pop a 220V breaker too.
