The worst is still around: that GPU’s require more and more power. I wished more focus on efficiency. Not long until water cooling is mandatory, to get all the heat away.
If you want low TDP, the RX 6400 is twice as powerful as the 590 while having a TDP of 53W.
It’s the very top of the line stuff like 4090 that push the limit by achieving that very last 10% performance bump at the cost of using double the power, and that’s kinda like complaining a Bugatti Veyron gets terrible highway MPG figures.

They are. GTX 590 from 2011 has a TDP of 375W. RTX 4080 has 320W, while offering over ten times better performance. 4060 outperforms the 1060, 2060 and 3060 while having a lower TDP than any of them.
