on a very simplistic "all parts + 200W" level... sure. but in reality? not at all.
you can run a overclocked 600W 4090 on a cheap 850W PSU with two daisychained 8 pins but often not a stock ~335W 6950XT because it has transients like a electric chainsaw.
so a Corsair RM850X would not be recommended for a 4090 but for the 6950XT where the real world result would be the exact opposite.

I run a 7900 XTX full power (430W) most of the time on my RM850X. I've never seen it go past 700 watts with every RGB light on and fans/Pumps full speed, while benching the GPU with the CPU sipping power.
I would think the RM850X would be able to handle a 4090. On the other hand a 5090 would need a decreased power limit and UV.

This thread is not about specific examples. It is about the eXtreme OuterVision PSU calculator site shutting down. Specific issues should go in separate threads.

Concerning PSU calculators,

Rule #1 - As mentioned before, a PSU calculator must NEVER ever recommend an underpowered PSU.

Also, while it may be an extremely rare event, a calculator (or users estimating PSU needs on their own) MUST always assume the possibility the CPU, GPU, RAM, motherboard, all drives, all fans/pumps, and all other expansion cards, USB devices, etc. will demand maximum power at the exact same point in time - regardless how remote that possibility may be. Why? See Rule #1.

No, you are not blind. About the same time the domain name for https://outervision.com/ went up for sale, the Enermax site went down too.

As far as talks for someone taking over, I know I reached out to the staff there, and so did wiz - but to no avail.

It should be noted taking over would be much more than just hosting the site. With new graphics cards, CPUs, RAM and more coming out all the time, researching and keeping the site and calculator databases current with accurate information was very time consuming. If not a full time job, it still would be a very time consuming part-time commitment.
