Hi all, I read it should consume only 6-7 watt in idle, on the desktop and for internet browsing.
Yesterday i realised with Hwinfo that it was using 40W in idle. I had the Performance mode in nvidia control panel selected. I set it to "optimal", and it is better (after the reboot) but still fluctuating from 10 to 14 watts.
Do you think it is ok? I have the latest drivers.
I have to say that it's the MSI Geforce GTX 1070 Gaming X. At the time it was one of the most powerful around. So maybe the 6-7 watts I read about refers only to the base 1070 ?
Or what should I check ?
Many thanks for your views/inputs
