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 × 6 h = 3.330 kWh × 26.11p = 86.9p.
  3. Weekly: 86.9p × 7 sessions = £6.09.
  4. Monthly: £6.09 × 52 ÷ 12 = £26.37.
  5. Annual: £6.09 × 52 = £316.48.
