At the moment they have not been offered official reviews of the new Intel Arc A770 and A750 of the custom models that manufacturers have released. But in EXPreview they were able to verify the problem that Intel has with the consumption of your cards at rest, which exceeds 40Wwhile the competition barely reaches 10W. This is something that has not been able to solve by means of drivers and has facilitated a series of steps to avoid this high consumption.
For this you have to make a few changes to the BIOS and operating systemas this Alchemist series uses PCIe 2.0 L0s and L1 power modes and cannot be forced by software. You must enable ASMP to be controlled by the operating system and select L1 in PCI Express ASPM configuration. Also, you will need to tell Windows to use maximum energy savings in the advanced power settings option. The actions to perform are available on the web that Intel has enabled for this.
with this solution you will achieve considerable energy savings compared to the current one at rest, taking into account that other factors can affect this consumption, such as monitors with higher refresh rates they need more energy to maintain this speed.

I am a Computer Engineer and my specialty is automation and robotics. My passion for hardware began at the age of 14 when I gutted my first computer: a 386 DX 40 with 4MB of RAM and a 210MB hard drive. I continue to give free rein to my passion in the technical articles that I write in Geeknetic. I spend most of my free time playing video games, contemporary and retro, on the more than 20 consoles I have, in addition to the PC.
