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.
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
What CPU? I'd strive for the XTX. At this price, the XTX cost 20% more than the XT with roughly 15% more performance and extra 4GB VRAM. Can't go wrong with either with 20/24GB VRAM buffer. the opposite can be said for the green team. might worth to check out the 6950XT for $630.

Benchmarks say otherwise. 4070TI is pretty on par with the 7900xt, trading blows between games. Also 12gb of vram vs 20 in the 7900xt which may make it the better performer further down the line.
That being said, I did order the 4070ti only because it performs far better in Blender.

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
I really think you meant "some of us". I think you'll find that the overwhelming majority of people game at less than 200hz.

That is a moot point. You said less than 200, which means that my original range completely applies to the point you're trying to make. If you think it's just "some of us" that could be 500k or more of the millions of gamers out there
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.
The 7900XT/XTX are on A0 silicon, there are some features disabled on the die. I wouldn't be surprised if those disabled transistors are still drawing power. Basically there's no way to fix it on driver until they make a silicon revision. https://www.notebookcheck.net/AMD...766.0.html
Pay a little more and get Nvidia. Higher resale value, far less little compatibility issues, every game/mod use Nvidia as test bed.
AMD is stuck in a tough spot. 4070 eats the lunch of all 6800-6900 cards. 4070TI destroys 7900XT. Anyone who can afford this card is better off buying the $1150 4080. They are destroyed by Nvidia at every segment.
Nobody buys AMD unless they are 30% cheaper than Nvidia equivalent.
Nvidia is trash this time around and the 6800/6900 series is last gen..
6950xt destroys the 4070ti in a lot of titles, and it's way cheaper. Sorry chump

Not a fan of these inflated prices for either 6950XT & 4070TI but I haven't seen benchmarks nor prices to support these statements. Mind sharing your source, or are these just ancedotes?

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%20card
