Somewhere in the middle.
With energy prices looking to get even worse I'm thinking I'd rather not bother with a power hungry gpu in future, regardless of if its particularly fast or not.

Have any of you actually worked out what a few hours of gaming is costing you on 3090s etc?

I guess in some respects it might be good for industry to work smarter and not just throw more energy in to get more performance.
 
I hadn't really thought much about the heat aspect. I do remember having my pc under my desk and roasting my legs mind.

Has anyone worked out the actual cost of say, 3 hours playing cyberpunk or something at full load.

I might be worrying about a cost that's actually quite insignificant
