This tool uses the May 2026 UK Ofgem price cap (£0.24/kWh) for accurate UK estimates. For US users, it applies the current national average electricity rate of $0.16/kWh. Rates are based on the latest available data from official sources and are updated as energy markets change.
A high-end RTX 50-series gaming PC can draw between 400W and 600W under load, depending on the GPU, CPU, and other components. The calculator includes presets for common setups like Steam Deck (20W), gaming laptops (200W), and high-end desktops (500W). Input your exact wattage for personalized results.
Enable 'Power Saving' modes in your GPU software and OS to lower consumption during lighter tasks. Capping frame rates at 60FPS (instead of 120+ or unlimited) can cut power draw substantially in many titles. These simple tweaks help reduce your yearly bill, especially if you game for several hours each day.
