The amount of carbon this has undoubtedly put into our atmosphere is really my main concern. Yes I know you can do hacky workarounds to fix this, but how many of their consumers did this? Roughly none. What a waste of our planets resources.

Not sure what mean you mean make “a statement” but idle power was listed as a known issue in early drivers and there’s been a ton of work on this.
Driver 23.7.1 did a lot to reduce idle power consumption. There was more work in 21.8.1. And I expect it’s an area of continued investigation. Though it can be difficult considering all the different possible PC/monitor setups. Often it’s a case of memory having to clock high to keep up with high refresh rate monitors.
Some your might try, if you can, is enabling VRR. That was shown to have a measurable effect.
If the is was true, there would be at least one monitor setup that does below 50w at idle with a dual setup, 144hz and 60hz.
I don’t think the internet has seen that on a 7000 series with dual mismatched, ever, without a workaround to lower refresh.
So could we get model numbers of monitors to test to verify this is being worked on? Could give a lot of people hope. Thanks.
