Total power consumption for a high end home PC goes to dangerous limits.

For an average European house a typical fuse limit, as well as cabling is 16 Amps.

16 Amp x 220 = 3520 Watts but with %80 conversion efficiency the unit can give 2933 Watts from the unit. But, for long term use at this power value causes cable heating. The cable thickness must be at minimum 3x2mm.

A 3000 Watt power unit will possibly the normal maximum. Say farewell to SLI soon, which is already near dead. A two socket mainboard is a waste for homes, many programs can not take gain from multi CPU systems, mainly because of program issue.

So this new GPU connector will not be the last seemingly, there is still headroom for a stronger power cabling in the future from the box....

I for one would have welcomed even 12 GB on this 3070 but it is what it is.

I hope the 4070 and above finally start getting 12 GB+ of VRAM because, good God Nvidia.

2017 1080ti had 11GB.

Nuff said. It is indeed what it is, shit product post-Pascal. RT tax. Whatever it is, somehow it feels like three steps back ever since. Lets not even begin about power usage. Less VRAM. Higher TDPs. Exploding price.

At least we have awesome games to show for it... oh wait. 95% is a console port sans RT and the remaining 5% runs a global illumination pass on top if raster graphics.

Its a fucking joke. At least there is DLSS to soften the blow. If and as long as Nvidia wants it.

If only I had a 1080 Ti which was my dream card. I wouldn't have cared for RTX 30 and still kept it to this day, provided it wouldn't have died.

True. But when game assets can fit inside VRAM, the game has to load more from storage, then system RAM, then swap out in VRAM
I believe you wanted to use "can't" there? Just pointing it out because it threw me off for a moment.
For an average European house a typical fuse limit, as well as cabling is 16 Amps.
Reminds me that my old town's houses usually had 220 V 10 Amps limit, so 2200 W max.

Let's scrap the idea of a graphics card that people want, and let's release one that nobody has ever asked for. Genius!

We don't need a 3090ti. We want a 3070 16GB. Get on it and quit being so thick...
it should be a new rtx 3080 20gb with the same spec as rtx 3080 10gb series..... not with the new rtx 3080 12gb.......

Just as there a cars like Datsun, Suzuki, Renault, Maserati, Lamborghini and Bugatti, which are on different price/performance zones, the same applies for video cards it seems.

What is the point with LoveLace and RDNA3 around the corner, probably a cheaper and better option?
Because those GPUs are the top dogs, or the "perfect yields", if you prefer. Those yields are possibly even less than 1% of total yields. The rest, the ones that have faulty transistors are made into 3090, 3080, 3070 GPUs, etc

Is there an actual need for a 16 GB version of a 3070?

That aside, yes, I think most people would rather like for Nvidia to use their available capacity to make more 3070s than 3090s
Far cry 6, in techspot's newest test, suffers from noticeable stuttering on the 3070 due to VRAM limitations. DOOM on ultimate nightmare also needs more then the 3070 can provide.

Exactly, the raw performance is there but being held back by the lack of VRAM.
