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.

My 3090 tops out at 400W on a not even very aggressive overclock. And it makes my room HOT when it's pegged. These graphics chips are insanely power hungry and beefy as hell these days.
