My BI PC for the longest time is an i7 6700 with 32gb of ram, running a single SSD and an 8tb HDD and a GTX 1650 for CP AI.

Decided to stick a killawatt meter to it to see what it's using and to my surprise, it's averaging 120w at idle. I believe the GPU is the biggest contributor to the draw.

Not much we can do if we want CP AI with GPU? What other options are there to lower the consumption?
 
Yeah GPUs are power hogs. Over time I switched out for cameras with AI so that a GPU wasn't needed.

I still run CPAI on a few cams but the CPU is adequate for it.
