Enter your PC's average wattage and daily hours in use to see real annual running cost, including a gaming/workstation load option.
A high-end gaming or workstation GPU under sustained heavy load can meaningfully raise annual cost — check your specific components' rated power for a more precise estimate.
A modern desktop's power draw swings dramatically between idle browsing or office work and full CPU/GPU load during gaming, video editing, or rendering — averaging the two separately gives a far more accurate annual cost than assuming one constant wattage for all use.
Yes, potentially — a high-end gaming GPU alone can draw 250-450W under load, several times an office PC's typical full-system draw, meaningfully raising cost for heavy daily gaming or rendering use.
Sleep mode uses only a few watts, similar to phantom load on other electronics, so the energy savings from fully powering off versus sleeping are usually small compared to convenience lost from longer boot times.
