Does it tell you how much extra electricity you're using?
- tpmx 5y agoHow could it know? Edit: It would actually be nice if the PSU (and all of the various subsystems, like the GPU) were required to measure the power usage and report it to the OS. I'm sure one of those ATX pins could be repurposed to include signalling, somehow.
- duskwuff 5y agoMost GPUs have power sensors that can be read from software. Even if they don't, they could make an estimate based on the model of the GPU.
- Hamuko 5y agoConsidering they market it as "PC's idle time into cash", I don't think they're much interested in telling you that you're in fact burning through electricity to make Norton money.
