The flagship graphics cards of recent generations have been trending upwards in maximum power consumption. The RTX 4090 can pull more than 450W, the RTX 3090 Ti could do the same, while AMD's RX 7900 XTX is rated for 355W. Factory overclocked models are typically a bit higher than that. But those are rookie numbers. It's been reported that Nvidia's next generation GB200 AI accelerator can pull up to 1,000W.
The source of the 1,000W claim is a statement made by Dell COO Jeffrey Clarke during Dell's Q4 2024 earnings call (via The Register). He's as likely to be in the know as anyone, so this 1,000W claim is no mere rumor.
