    Undervolt it too. Depending on what GPU you have, you might drop an additional 20-40% without a performance hit. An older GTX1070 I used to have dropped power consumption by 40%. The energy savings weren’t that big, but it was nice and quiet

      Currently using a GTX 970 on EndeavourOS, I believe tuxclocker can do undervolting, haven’t tried it yet

        Undervolting has the added benefit of reducing silicon degradation. I don’t know how much it’ll help your GPU, considering it’s age, but it’s something

          I’ve put it through absolute overclocking hell, and it still runs as happily as it always did, so there’s that.
