IIRC this was one of the issues with 2/2e, some combination of the various available memory controllers not agreeing on a standard to manage timings and power states. I haven't played around with my Radeon VII in a long while now.

That aside idle power consumption is a driver-to-driver affair from both amd and novideo, sometimes I'm only pulling 15-30W when nothing is happening and other times it decides it needs 110w for a static 500hz screen
