The amount of carbon this has undoubtedly put into our atmosphere is really my main concern. Yes I know you can do hacky workarounds to fix this, but how many of their consumers did this? Roughly none. What a waste of our planets resources.

    What triggers this high usage?

    I use a 3440 x 1440p LCD screen at 165hz

    Asrock Phantom Gaming OC 7900xtx

    Idle power draw ranges between 10-30W

    I don’t get the high usage you mentioned

        Because a dual monitor setup is pretty common… it sounds like any setup that is more than 1 monitor - when at least one or more monitors are more than 60 hz - then it happens? I dunno if resolution impacts anything - if they have more than one monitor, these days, it seems that at least one is higher than 1080p.

        I’ve got the triple threat, 3 monitors at different resolutions and refresh rates. 1440p 144hz, 3440x1440p 165hz, 4k 120hz. Idle power draw is 120w. The fan doesn’t shut off unless ambient temp falls below 72f/~22c.
