You may be quoting idle speeds with older AMD drivers. I believe AMD has been working on fixing the high idle usage. https://videocardz.com/newz/updat...ited-games
The article states idle speed is still 54W. It's still higher than 4080. The article claims 4080 idles at 30 W. Nvidia says 4080 uses 13 W at idle. https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/gefo...s%20cards.

If we go with your numbers -- I believe you mean 100 kWh. Energy usage is measured in kWh not kW. Capacity is measured in kW. Your retail energy provider charges you based on energy, kWh. To convert your idle usage of 120-140 W, you need to multiply that by hours. So let's say your computer is on 8 hours, you take the 120W-140W x 8hrs = 960-1120 Watts per day. Now, you multiply that by days of the month, eg., 30 days, which would equal 28,800-33,600 W per month (28.8-33.6 kWh for the month). Depending on where you live, let's assume it's your rate is 15 cents per kWh. Multiplying your 28.8-33.6 kWh x 15 cents = $4.32-$5.04 per month. If you leave your computer on all day - 24 hours, multiply by 3, and you'd have $12.96- $15.12 per month. That's a lot of money over the course of the year.
I think your use case is quite unique. I dont think many people would buy a $1000 and leave it on idle all years long? I figure most people into gaming would buy it and play games 3-5 hours a day then turn off the computer after at night, go to work during day and come back to play games. That would be a more likely scenario. At regular gaming load, the electricity cost is negligible at best.
60fps in MW2 would have been a dream on my Pentium MMX. Not a problem with a 3DFX card.

Don't take me wrong. I live in the Linux world and my GPU is AMD. But you shouldn't "cheap out" this generation and go AMD. I have a 4k monitor and I don't turn off my PC(server). The idle power of 7900xt/xtx would be 120-140w. That means I will be paying extra 100KW electricity bill per month. Jesus Christ!
At least for this generation, AMD still couldn't the figure the basics out half a year after launch. And they are still selling it toooo expensive.
And how should I put this, Nvidia is just worse.
Guys we are outta luck here. More anti-competitive semiconductor bullsxxx is coming. Maybe not just in tech.
I'm getting nowhere near that with my 7900xt with my lg c2 42"

I'm also in the Linux world. Seems like this was a problem with multi monitor but I'm seeing people on Reddit now idling around 30 watt with the XTX. Drivers are getting better, but slowly. Looks like kernel 6.3 and Mesa 23 will be out this month so the last of the bugs should be buttoned up soon.

I have a 2080 and there's no reasonable justification for upgrading right now. I still get above 60fps in any game I throw at it.

Just when the 7900XT hits $800 and seems like a way better deal, they drop another $50 off the 7900XTX...I hope they keep dropping, but man it is a tough decision...still leaning the XT though

The xt is a super capable card and easily best at the $800 price point, but I traded my xt for an xtx and there is no going back. I got exactly 20 more fps at 4K with the xtx on mw2. In 2k I think it was like 44 more fps.

Bought the xfx for $1010 last week. Is there any reason I would keep the xfx over this one?

My 4090 idles at ~42W so roughly accurate observations

It will be fixed through driver optimizations and is already listed as a known issue. Chiplet design requires some tweaks along the way.

The XTX is an amazing gpu for 4K MW2

That's just what you like though. Many of us game on 144hz-240hz and some on 390hz. I personally hate 60fps gaming now because it feels like a stutter for my eyes. I need 90fps and above
