Passive cooled graphics card

With most cards now having a fan-off mode, I have wondered what would happen if you took a 6900 XT or RTX 3090 and downclocked it? Extremely downclocked - leave it with 10% of it's former power budget.

After all, slow and wide is a legitimate way gain efficiency. Not that anyone is like to £1000+ cards and try to downclock them to £200 type card. Plus, if at any time they driver messed up and try to draw the full 300W+ the PSU had better be ready for it.
