1 year later, 7900XTX still has >100W idle power draw. AMD still has not made a statement (alien.top)

The amount of carbon this has undoubtedly put into our atmosphere is really my main concern. Yes I know you can do hacky workarounds to fix this, but how many of their consumers did this? Roughly none. What a waste of our planets resources.

Mine idles at 7w with two monitors. The trick for me was enabling Free sync on both of them.

So fuck people who dont have freesync, right?

I have my monitors lose signal randomly when freesync is on. ๐Ÿคท

Sounds like a hardware issue

MIne does 5w idle with 3x 1080p monitors.

The trick was to reduce the 165 Hz to 60 Hz..

That's not a good 'solution' - what if someone wants to game on 120 hz variable refresh rate?
