DV = .2V
With my 1 farad cap, I can surge up to 10,454 amps, for 20us, with the same dV =0.2V (I= C dV/dt). Makes me think of the flux capacitor and back to the future

Your PSU probably has a bunch of caps on it's outputs stage. Your GPU takes that 12V and drops it down to various other smaller voltages with voltage regulators (5v, 3.3V, 1.8V, 1.2V..typical IC voltages.), and has a bunch of it's own caps. I'm not saying that math or theory isn't true.. just saying it probably doesn't result in much of anything, but something to market your PSU with, that maybe your competitors don't have. It's just my opinion I guess. I could be wrong.

I'd be curious to see someone do some tests to see how it affects the various lower voltage regulators on a GPU.
