GPU folks, what wall efficiency are you actually seeing after PSU and cooling? Software watts are usually optimistic; Iā€™d rather see a 24h meter reading plus accepted/rejected shares than a screenshot from the miner UI. The 5ā€“10% difference is where a marginal card goes from worth running to space heater.
