<!-- | |||
A powerful GPU working hard is probably the hungriest component you have, on par with powerful CPUs. 50 to 200W isn't crazy for a GPU. | |||
That said, a moderately powerful GPU might idle at 5 to 15W. | |||
Which is pretty decent power scaling, but still not ideal if you wanted a very power efficient system. | |||

Computers
tl;dr:
- Assume 40W or more for laptops, idling at 10W with things dialed down
- 150W or more for desktops, idling at 100W (can be much less, if specialized)
- counting basic monitors (larger and brighter may add more)
- most gaming machines don't go over 300 or 400W when working hard
