Undervolt it too. Depending on what GPU you have, you might drop an additional 20-40% without a performance hit. An older GTX1070 I used to have dropped power consumption by 40%. The energy savings weren’t that big, but it was nice and quiet
Undervolting has the added benefit of reducing silicon degradation. I don’t know how much it’ll help your GPU, considering it’s age, but it’s something
But seriously though, I cut off a good 30-40% from my GPUs power limit and would you look at that, I still enjoy the games I play.
Have to run most of them at low to medium settings anyway, so might as well.
Only thing left to improve it further would be undervolting, I should try that at some point.

Currently using a GTX 970 on EndeavourOS, I believe tuxclocker can do undervolting, haven’t tried it yet

I’ve put it through absolute overclocking hell, and it still runs as happily as it always did, so there’s that.
