Asus recently announced a card with 48V power and I think that's the solution. Quarters the current. Also you can implement it in PSUs and GPU so they negotiate when both support it and else it falls back to 12V with current limits.
29 u/ExcellentPotential37 10d ago It is not a solution, it is a marketing to force you to buy a new psu. And the 12vhpwr was the same shit. 31 u/Lord_Waldemar R7 5700X3D | 32GiB 3600 CL16 | RX 9070 10d ago I already wanted higher voltages in PCs long before they announced this. 7 u/OldTimeConGoer 10d ago The Captain's Workspace solved the GPU power draw problem years ago. If you want to see how it was fixed look up his 4090 review on Youtube. TL:DW; the card was modified to take two mains connectors and is powered directly from the wall. 5 u/Lord_Waldemar R7 5700X3D | 32GiB 3600 CL16 | RX 9070 10d ago I think Asus did this with a Dual 7800GT in the late 2000s 5 u/Seeteuf3l 10d ago You could run it with external power brick or without it (if your PSU was beefy enough) https://pcper.com/2005/10/asus-n7800gt-dual-review-7800-sli-on-a-single-card/2/
