gollark: Computing hardware has very good power management nowadays. It won't draw anywhere near that much unless it's actively in use and computing lots.
gollark: Still, a 3060 would at least let me run ~billion-parameter language models, which can be quite good.
gollark: I do want one for ML purposes, but there are limits to what you can do on *any* reasonable consumer GPU nowadays, and I'd have to replace my server (or at least the PSU?) to run anything over 75W.
gollark: How much you should pay is obviously very dependent on how much you value money and how much you value the GPU.
gollark: I'm not particularly attached to the MSRP, but I wouldn't *personally* buy a 3060 Ti unless it was very cheap because I don't have much use for a GPU right now.
