Hi,
I noticed my triple screen consumes 50W while idle which seems odd as the card only consume only 10W with one screen.
My specs:
GPU: RTX 4090
Screens: ROG XG27AQM x3 (2560x1440 @ 270 Hz in 27″ [External])
Drivers: nvidia (proprietary) 560.31.02 (GSP OFF)
DE: KDE Plasma 6.1.4
WM: KWin
Distro: Arch
My tests run under Wayland and X11 (KDE Plasma 6) while IDLE (nothing on, just a terminal to run nvidia-smi):
- 1 screen: 10 / 12W
- 2 screens: 45W
- 3 screens: 50W
Lowering the refresh rate and playing with the VRR settings had no impact on consumption whatsoever.
Are those consumption aligned to what they are supposed to be?
Thanks in advance!
