Does the power usage scale with resolution? Do games have "run at 1080p vs 4K but cooler/less power" option?

- criddell 5y agoI would think so. About 12 years ago I would use a lava lamp screen saver on my Linux machine. Out of curiosity, I measured the power draw of my computer idling with a blank screen and with the lava lamp animation. The animation was drawing something like 30 watts whereas a physical lava lamp uses a 25 watt bulb.
