    Wait so then does playing a game that maxes out my GPU for two hours use enough power to charge 1000 smartphones?

    Because that’s a lot.

      A high(er) end smartphone has a battery capacity of approx. 0.019kWh (5000mAh), a gtx3080 has a max power draw of 320W so running that (at max load) for two hours is 0.64kWh, which is equivalent to fully charging ~34 smartphones.
