This is an awesome comment, thank you! I had long wondered myself why GPU power delivery was so complicated.

Figures you have to look at to be scared about in this space is an RTX 3070 can pull 250 watts and the core is 1.2v (I haven’t confirmed this) then the card can be sucking up an average of 200 amps. Which is a lot. Peak currents can be a lot more than that too.

That's a crazy amount of current to pull. I have melted wires or even welded things together with a super-capacitor setup delivering a similar amount.
