Seasonic is a pioneer in the computer power supply market. It was Seasonic that stood at the origins of the familiar power supply certification system, and it was one of the first that began to promote the updated ATX 3.0 power format, created with an eye on video cards of the current and next generation. In particular, in 2023, the Tavan manufacturer launched a new Vertex series, in which all power supplies are equipped with single 16-pin cables for connecting GeForce 4000 series video cards.


Seasonic notes that the maximum power consumption of video cards of the RTX 4090 level is an impressive 600 W, while for a short time they can consume one and a half to two times more than declared, creating a serious load on the main power line, which is why many power supplies activate overload protection . Seasonic Vertex power supplies are not afraid of this; the advanced filling is ready to provide stable power to the system even with strong surges.

Considering the serious power reserve (approx: from 750 to 1200 W), high efficiency, 10-year warranty and gold/platinum status, the Vertex model turned out to be quite expensive. Therefore, the manufacturer positions these power supplies as advanced solutions for enthusiasts and demanding gamers who are willing to overpay for the most advanced components at the level of Core i9/Ryzen 9 and RTX 4080/4090 with their monstrous amounts of video memory. Also, a typical representative of the Vertex series is capable of “feeding” a powerful workstation on the AMD Ryzen Threadripper or Intel Xeon platform.
