How much does your 4090 cost per month?
In electricity...
Ursprungligen skrivet av Dutchgamer1982:
my 2080ti did cost me "only" 1600 euro.

with it's 250W tdp and power around 60 eurocent per kwh (down from 1.20 euro per kwh a year ago but stillway up from the 25 cent. pre ukrraine war normal price.

that means running it costs 15 eurocent/hour

a 4090 with its 450w tdp would cost 27 eurocent/hour..
if you game 40hr/week average.
(2 hr/day on workdays 8hr/day of weekends and holidays) that amasses to 561.60 euro/year with 1.5 years between gpu generations and usually users replacing their gpu once every 2 generations.. you are expected to use it 3 years.
over that 3 years at current energy prices it would use 1685.80 euro in electricity. JUST for that gpu not counting other parts.
enough that gpu manufactuers really should not bring out such insane high tdp gpus as poweruse HAS become a factor in buying hardware.

In the winter, it saves me money running it as a combination entertainment-based space heater, instead of using the whole house heater. :SafeForWork:

Well how much do you think you can end up paying per month if you could get an RTX 4090 financed ?

Oh boy I'm sure there is at least one person in the world living on a modest income that did it. Lol
I think I can pay off $300-350/month. But not a dollar more than that.

How can it generate enough heat to keep you warm? This thing sits inside your PC, and it's not designed to be used for heating. Although, it is designed to move the heat away from itself.. But I still have a hard time believing it until I've tried it out myself.

People who can afford a 4090 definitely do not care about their electricity bill.

Is like asking people who have a Ferrari how much is their annual gas and insurance bill.
It baffles me how common this misconception is.

But it does explain the millionaire who goes broke in a month.
