Cutting the number down

Capping frame rate to the monitor's refresh rate cuts GPU draw substantially with no visible difference.
Sleep rather than idle: a machine left at the desktop overnight can use more in a year than the gaming itself.
Undervolting a modern GPU typically trims power meaningfully at near-identical performance.
