How do you power a 4090?

The only spec that you absolutely need to meet in order to run an RTX 4090 is to have at least three PCIexpress 8pin connectors. If you don't have an ATX 3.0 rated power supply and therefore lack the new 16-pin power connector, you'll need to use an adapter, and that needs three PCIe 8 pins cables to power it.

Is an i7 enough for a 4090?
Considering that the upgrade to an i9-12900K didn't seem to make much of a difference across all the game categories, we can say that an i7-12700K is enough for you to really make the best of your RTX 4090 24GB.

How much power can a 4090 draw?
The Nvidia RTX 4090 has an official power draw of 450W, though momentary spikes of power, known as transients, may mean that it will draw more on occasion. Nvidia set the TDP of its RTX 4000 graphics cards as more of a maximum power draw, rather than a power target, so these should be less common with this generation.

How powerful is a 4090?
Overall, I tested the RTX 4090 across several in-game benchmarks, including Cyberpunk 2077, Hitman 3, and Guardians of the Galaxy, and found that, on average, it put out about 120 fps at 4K with the highest settings without DLSS.

How long is the cord on a power a wired controller?
A detachable 10ft USB cable with a Velcro-strap is included for easy storage and reduced clutter when you are done playing. Getting all these features at nearly half the price of wireless controllers makes PowerA wired controllers a no-brainer.
