I live in a desert! I wish we have winter here, thanks.if you live in canada it's not a problem, the heat produced by the card will reduce electric consumption from the baseboard heaters. so no additionnal cost for the next 6 months lol (if your home has temperature-controled heaters)
gosh winter is coming !

Leaving a difference of 50 watts.
Running 10 hours a day, 7 days a week, at full load, with an electricity cost of $0.12/kWh...
That is an extra $22/year, over your current 970
