<!--
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
