And of course, Nvidia have been binning speeds rather conservatively for a couple of generations. Ramp up the overclock from either vendors cards, and run multiple GPUs (which this PSU is obviously aimed at) and 1600W might not seem that capacious, especially when a single card can pull in excess of 500W with a significant but sustainable OC.
A proper test by JonnyGuru or Hardware Secrets would provide useful information.

So yeah, I would want that 1600 watt PSU if I were to run something exotic like that and a good window AC unit too.
