The whole system draws about 460W idle, and around 700W when driving. On the graph we can see a base consumption of 120W on the house's sockets, anything above that is the sim racing rig. There are lots of dips to base rig load, as I was trying different tweaks in Assetto Corsa to emulate cheap tires on wet asphalt for drifting purpose.

It is used exclusively with Assetto Corsa offline. I manage to get 60+ fps steady on the triple 4K setup.

2022 Update

It has been upgraded with a single RTX 3070.

This kills the whole power to the rig, appart from the light.
