The power draw was already a lot with a 3080 12gb. I traded in for a 4070ti (on sale for $800 at the time for a higher end AIB) and cut my overall PC power consumption by 30%-50%! Since I pay the electric bill, this feels good. And I’m getting more frames. The 12g has been more than adequate so far and handles 4k well enough in any application so far. ☺️
Makes sense. The energy usage probably wouldn’t be noticeable over the course of a year for normal usage, but that’s still a decent trade. A more efficient card that’s also faster. Pretty good.
