<div dir="ltr">60 W sounds possible. I have a fairly beefy videocard GTX1080Ti, on my machine, it idles at about 57W, spikes up to maybe 180 W when doing something computationally difficult. </div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Fri, Jul 23, 2021 at 10:22 AM Keith Smith via PLUG-discuss <<a href="mailto:plug-discuss@lists.phxlinux.org">plug-discuss@lists.phxlinux.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><br>
Based on what we have been discussing I assume my 400 watt power supply <br>
may be drawing much less power based on actual usage. Therefore maybe <br>
my computer might only be using 60 watts... making the cost lower.<br>
<br>
Your thoughts.<br>
