On Linux, my Nvidia 3070 idles at about 100w. While ridiculous, I assumed that was just the state of things. Should I be seeing something much lower?

- formerly_proven 4y agoA 1080 Ti driving multiple displays idles at ~13 W and consumes about 18-20 W for video playback. So, yeah.
- 0cf8612b2e1e 4y agoBah. Nvidia drivers.
- thulle 4y agoThat seem a bit high. Are you running a graphics heavy desktop environment? I'm currently browsing on one monitor and having a twitch stream with GPU accelerated decoding on another, and nvidia-smi reports 49 W for my 3080. Nvidia 525 drivers & Fluxbox as window manager. Using an AMD 5950X CPU, currently with powersave governor, my PSU reports a total power usage of 120 W.
- 0cf8612b2e1e 4y agoEither I was grossly misremembering or a driver update has fixed an issue. Now reporting 23 watts on a fairly idle system.
