24/7 gpu usage does use energy. whether or not it is a lot depends on your current energy usage.

GPU prices are insane nowadays, but you can find them used from mining ops for pretty low prices. A few generations old Ryzen is still way faster than any laptop CPU, RAM and SSDs are cheap as hell, PSU and box can be found for reasonable prices if you shop around.
