where are people getting this idea that the cards are "inefficient fuel tankers"?

in contrast to the breathless rumors, those power numbers look incredibly reasonable... it's less than the 3090 pulled last gen, and it's 1.7x the perf/w of a 3080 or 2x the efficiency of a 3090. 3090 was always known to be pushed a little far, but, there is an easy 70% uplift in efficiency here, and none of the power-creep stuff ended up actually happening.

4090 Ti will eventually happen, and will pull about the same as 3090 Ti. Which, if it gets 1.7-2x the perf/w, sounds fine.
