AMD RX 7900 XTX TBP 355 W (AMD published spec); rest of system ~200 W with AMD Ryzen 9 7950X (170 W TDP) + cooling

How the cost is worked out

  1. System power: 355 W (GPU) + 200 W (CPU + rest) = 555 W total.
  2. Per session: 555 W ÷ 1000 × 3 h = 1.665 kWh × 26.11p = 43.5p.
  3. Weekly: 43.5p × 5 sessions = £2.17.
  4. Monthly: £2.17 × 52 ÷ 12 = £9.42.
  5. Annual: £2.17 × 52 = £113.03.
