My 7800xt pulls about 230 watts at full bore, giving me my monitor's refresh rate in FPS, 144. Limiting the framerate to 72 results in no tearing and drops the GPU watts to 170. Worth it.
Halving your frame rate is worth approximately a cent an hour?
Just consider! If you're gaming 80 hours a week you could save $3.50 off your monthly bill. 12 hours a day gaming, such savings!
I mean for those of us who don't need anything higher than 60, yeah
The comment I was replying to had a 144hz monitor
Yeah, I read that comment. They also said it was worth reducing the frame rate to save 60 watts
Adding a frame limiter and dropping the resolution a bit saves me 200W. Yay RTX3090
