Is it possible that my GPU has power leak?
| I can't measure the TDP with Riva because it keeps showing on both 47W, no matter what I'll do.
| Maybe it's mining bitcoin without your knowledge.
| Maybe. Some of old, old GPUs weren't really efficient, compared to modern day ones that draw the same amount of power.

| The GPU I have has 130TDP. The previous one I had was only 20 lower, so 110W. I mainly idle, sometimes using the GPU to its full power, but I can't help, but to wonder what's up with the 130W one.
My I did an experiment for 4 months. Two months with the 130TDP GPU and more two months with the 110W one and I came to a conclusion that the 130W one must consume that power all the time instead of only when needed. Is this a possibility, or am I going crazy?
