minus-squarebioemerllinkfedilink7•edit-27 months agoThat’s ( fixed, messed up mah conversion) .1wh for a second of 3090 time/ 30 images a second. If a 3090 drew 3 watt hours in 1/30th of a second it would melt. Possibly off by one order of magnitude though… Editing post to see, and it looks like I was. 300 images per charge instead of 3000.
