For those who aren't concerned about their power bill and associated heat issues, Galax just announced a 2-16 pin connected 4090 to pull 1kw. See https://www.tomshardware.com/news/galax-rtx-4090-hof-dual-16-pin-connectors-1000w

Wow! Hope the performance is proportional to the increase in power draw.

Does it come with it's own chassis to help heat your flat?

Not buying a 4090!

To be honest, I don't know why they don't just put a dial on the side, labeled, high, medium and low, and just call it a space heater. 

nice card , i get one of this as showed in the pics from Rauf , without cooling.

Galax do limited binned cards like this is a sort of ES. call them OC Lab ed.

i have 1080ti, 2080ti ,3090, 3090ti OC Lab all without cooling from Galax and binned by Rauf i get the worst one or with cold bug.

i hope i have done the cooling and up and running MSFS paired with my 5800X3D before next year.

as senior citizen a wait with upgrade the cpu cost to much.

one good thing is no problem with burned connectors , the card clock 3120mhz mem 1500mhz on wather cooling in PortRoyal.

As far as a dual purpose gcard/space heater goes, even my now lowly rtx 3080 ti FTW3 does a fairly good job. I was quite surprised by the amount of heat blowing out of that card when I first installed it and was running tests with my case open; calling it a space heater isn't hyperbole, that air blowing was HOT.  Glad my build has a manual case fan speed panel, now it truly has a valid use.  I can imagine for the 4090/4080 cards that using them in the summer might be problematic for some.

finished my build just before christmas , very very pleased

i did a hybrid cooling gpu water cooled with a modded cpu block,vrm aircooled , mems hybrid both water and air.

in MSFS at approx 80% load and mem usage of 20GB i run a oc profile with boost 3060mhz mem 1500mhz very safe settings,

temps gpu 40-42C mem 48C hotspot 50C its vey quet the noctua fans is very good.

the money a spend on this is not much Galax give me a very good deal and fans and rest of the parts is not much , i cant buy a rtx 3050 for what i pay for all this.

A good water cooled computer is still transferring the heat out of the case and creating room heat. 

What a GPU could pull in watts and what they do pull in gaming are totally different. Has it`s been shown in gaming benchmarks AMD can do the same, if you want to cook your PC that`s down to you.

Exactly.

At a recent 4-hour flight from LFTM to EGLL (MSFS in the Fenix A320) my 4090 pulled on average 249 watts (max 305) and the 13900K pulled average 113 watts (max 160). Average temps GPU 55 c, CPU 65 c.
