How much electricity does running your local models take?
1 comments

I throttle the GPUs to ~280W each (my cooling solution is insufficient to run them full tilt), and so at peak usage I show a ~1200VA draw. Electricity is relatively cheap here, so the main disadvantage of the at-home setup is having the equivalent of a small space heater running in the summer.
