The power of smaller lithography, 10% performance lose for 70% lower power consumption.

Had OP tested all the way down to 0.700v he would have discovered that the performance/watt metric keeps scaling (0.700v = half power, less than 20% performance lose).

Yet here we are pumping double the power into our gpu's for a little less than 20% extra performance, demanding HUGE coolers that are becoming too fat, wide, long and heavy, PCB's with better power characteristics than motherboards, fan's blasting at max speed.

You get the point.

Nvidia has such a big lead and they haven't given us significant performance gains this generation, i wish they had the balls to just cut the power consumption in half, like the lithography allows.

150w 102 dies would be amazing.

75w 104 dies.

50w 106 dies.

​

Every midrange gpu and down wouldn't need a power cable.

Biggest bad boy would only need one.

Almost any cooler would work.

Compatibility would be massive.

​

Any thoughts?
