Intel has this guide about reducing idle power consumption, any chance you could take a look with any of the Intel gpus @W1zzard (if the x570 dark doesn't have the option, maybe with a different board that has it)?

@W1zzard Do you have any information on Intel's driver updates for the 770? I purchased the Asrock Phantom Gaming on sale for $260 for a 2K setup for my youngest son. I took the plunge on this new hardware, and I'm just wondering if you might have any updated insight on the card?

That software must be doing downscaling as the image on the right is already known from image banks like pexels. It's the left one I knew not. Thanks Gigapixel.
