I have to be honest, I find Steve's stuff (and yours) often wayyyy too technical for my level of interest. I watch him more for the news and insights, and you for the commentary.
However, I have much respect for Steve's integrity, and his willingness and desire to make the industry better for all of us. Also, he was spot on about your quickness to jump on a story, or a conclusion without taking a more measured approach.
I applaud your desire to make more accurate, quantifiable data, but I hope that doesn't mean that it will become incomprehensibly information dense. Most of us are not hardware professionals, and I hope that you will distil all of this data into something digestible, rather than feeling a need to show off your process at every opportunity.

@erroristic I agree 100% on the reviewers sucking nvidia's dick.
As for why buy consumer cards? Because they're a third the price or less of comparable pro grade cards that offer nothing better that we actually need, for all that extra money! MANY prosumers, and boutique pros need the power of a 4090, but not the minimal additional features of a Quadro (actually the Quadro line is dead now they just call everything RTX or nothing.)
There are PLENTY of games that can fully utilise the 4090's power. Once you start running at 4K with all effects and ray tracing on, you'll quickly realise that even a card like that is not up to the demands of elite high FPS players. Dying Light 2, Metro Exodus, Remnant of the Ashes, Last of Us 2, and many other action games will STILL draw all the GPU power you have to throw at them, even on a 4090. I'm NOT an elite player, but a 3090 is not up to everything at the level I play.

@dungimon1912 @Dungimon Hmmm, that's interesting. I was considering either a couple of 32" 4K monitors, or an 8K 40 inch OLED but sitting much closer. I use my PC for work as well as games, so different criteria. Refresh rate is less important than screen real estate or image quality.
I had a dual xeon with a Titan x, now I have a 24 core Threadripper with an RTX 3090 and two 28 inch monitors. I needed the 3090 because I run 3D apps that use the cores for rendering, and a video app that needs the CUDA cores for AI. I also run fluid simulation software that uses the CPU cores. The fact that games runs extremely well is a bonus! :D I have played multiplayer World war Z for a while, and I didn't realise just how much I'd gotten used to a bad refresh rate. Playing it max settings on 4K wit instant was a revelation. I installed the free update of metro Exodus to the ray traced version and the game was BREATHTAKING! However, even after just one hour of play, in a huge Coolermaster tower case, the temp it raised the card to was frankly disturbing. My leg was hot a foot away, and the whole top of the case is almost too hot to touch, giving me concerns for the adjacent CPU temp.
TBH, I can't game from the couch (not least because I don't have a couch ;-) ) but also, I much prefer a desk for the keyboard mouse. Dunno if that's any better/worse for my bad back, but it works for me. I tried wireless, for about 5 years, but got sick of recharging and now I have a really nice desk, with a cable management, the wires are never a problem.
I recall reading that your viewing distance from a wide screen should be 1.5 times the diagonal width of the screen for it to properly fill your field of view. On a 55" inch screen, you're correct in thinking that 2.5 metres is just a touch too far away - 2.05 would be optimal. Personally, I preferred to be a touch further back (9 feet on a 52 inch screen) because it means less eye movement. Whatever works for you eh?
Thanks for sharing. Sounds like you have a nice set up there. What are your top three played games at the moment?
Sounds like you have a very tolerant wife letting you game on the family TV - I've seen relationships end over that! :D

@Transistor Jump I looked up my past cards and recommended PSU: a 560GTX - 450w, 780GTX - 600w, a Titan X also 600w, and an RTX 3090 - 750w.
The two in the middle both used the same, but there has been a steady progression apart from that. I use a number of internal hard drives. I have used PSU configurator to decide which PSU to buy, but I don't think it can be argued given the evidence, that power usage has remained more or less constant. Indeed, isn't the entire argument against the 4000 series that they are continuing that progression to a ridiculous level?
As a matter of curiosity, and not withstanding the mild winter, I barely have to turn my heating on this year in damp, coldish Britain because of the crazy heat put out by the 3090 and Threadripper CPU!
