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.

I think it's when you use 2 monitors witha dif refresh rate and/or resolution

I've got the triple threat, 3 monitors at different resolutions and refresh rates. 1440p 144hz, 3440x1440p 165hz, 4k 120hz. Idle power draw is 120w. The fan doesn't shut off unless ambient temp falls below 72f/~22c.
