>>713356943Price is the only real gripe you have on that list. And you should of course have that gripe, prices are ridiculous and low end keeps getting refreshes of 5 year old cards.
But today's cards up to the 5080 are extremely power efficient, and you can further drop them to like 70% power draw and barely lose FPS. Buy a two fan 4070/4070S/5070/9070 and it's small too.
CPUs are more efficient than ever, thanks to AMD's X3D's.
Monitors aren't CRT power hogs either, which were easily over 100W, now a flat panel is like maybe 30W.
Only once you go completely overkill with like a 5090 and an Intel moar power 14900k does the power usage go retarded.
