Question 4060 power question ?

[aloan]

I know this is a known issue but just for informative reasons, I wonder how much the 4060 would pull if I put it on P0 state all the time in comparison to idle?

I play a few games that will not boost the gpu properly so it causes some stuttering. I have to manually set the clocks at P0 for it to be stable which can be tiring to do over and over.

So if you have a 4060 Ti or 4070 (since it's the closest with a working power report) or a 4060 with a PCAT or a hardware power monitor, I'd love to know the difference in power draw between Idle and P0 while doing nothing. Thanks in advance!

you can watch yourself with e.g. hwinfo

4060 is incapable of reporting power when idling no matter what application you use.

That's the problem, it will show that it's consuming 50w on idle regardless of your setup.
We won't discuss that since it's a known issue. And even 20w is not efficient for idling.
