    No shit that using your PC for any purpose will consume electricity. A modern GPU can generate an image in a couple of seconds. Or I could just play a video game for an hour, and consume a few thousand times more energy

      Yeah, I can’t imagine it’s that different from playing a demanding game. I hear my video card fans spin up harder and sustain that speed for the duration of a play session.
