Something I've been very surprised to see, as an energy saving feature, is the power of VSync, in conjunction with the power-saving features on recent CPUs and GPUs. It seems clear that the power-saving capacity of vSync will be less if your in-game framerate is fairly close to the monitor's refresh rate. But if your card is complete overkill for the game you're playing and your monitor, a lot of electricity can be saved. And therefore very recent cards that are overpowered for what you are playing will give the best power-saving results here.
The follow up is from Techpowerup's recent RTX 3050 review. These are 'card only' details and you can see details of how they get the data in the Power Consumption Testing Details in the review. https://www.techpowerup.com/review/msi-geforce-rtx-3050-gaming-x/36.html
Edit: for comparison, results with vSync off.
