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 also had the same issue. I could get 7-10 on dual monitor but 3 monitors never went below 100w.

I changed to a 4090 and my idle is 25-30w with 3 monitors.

Like others say nvidia has same issues with 3000 series. The Nvidia placebo is real.
