That depends on the load the card is under and how long you use. For example a 1070 alone under full load will use about 150watts, 150watts in use over 8 hours is about 1.2kwh.

Is the card being used for cryptocurrency mining? Cryptocurrency mining (i.e. compute usage) consumes more power than gaming.
