      I thought the efficiency curve for GPUs peaked before 100%. If electricity is your primary cost, driving the GPUs at lower loads saves money.

      So you might end up with GPUs that spent their entire life at a steady 80% load or something.

        This was my understanding as well - that miners often underclock their GPUs rather than overclock them.
