The power consumption of the 50xx cards is just insane, and this makes it a bad choice in Germany where electricity prices are very high. This means I have to pay a premium for the card, extra for the excessive power demands and potentially extra in summer to keep my gaming room cool.
That is an important aspect I didn't consider, good catch.
American don't think about that. Same reason poor people buy V8 pickups then complain about being poor.
