Gaming PCs that are so powerful they can not be purchased in "California, Colorado, Hawaii, Oregon, Vermont or Washington due to power consumption regulations adopted by those states."https://t.co/XtdzV1TvXO pic.twitter.com/I2eI0gs48H
You want a high-end off-the-shelf gaming PC and you live in California? You are out of luck, you can't order it due to energy efficiency regulations. https://t.co/LfjX4fDn9o

I'm sure this is going to cause a lot of complaints, but honestly, regulations like this are to be expected and supported. Climate change is here and it's going to impact our lives in many, many ways. https://t.co/2FckT050M8

It's not just California. Several other states have implemented similar things. PC Gamer wrote an article covering it https://t.co/wPYGBUd54g

AMD, Intel, and Nvidia should strive more towards improving power consumption & performance in all future chips. This "ban" will stall a big market share for pre-built gaming PCs. Dell and other desktop companies won't be happy about this.https://t.co/IsZGQv1xXF

"Yes, this was driven by the California Energy Commission (CEC) Tier 2 implementation that defined a mandatory energy efficiency standard for PCs – including desktops, AIOs and mobile gaming systems. This was put into effect on July 1, 2021..." Dell said.https://t.co/cghDEWTGrT

Apparently this also applies to high refresh rate monitors, although this seemingly only applies for anything higher than 300Hz (Which is overkill anyways). The bottom link is for the actual California power standards.https://t.co/zvDrzL9go4https://t.co/e9ziU7jGn7 pic.twitter.com/oJm92D2tQE
