RTX 5080 LLM Power Efficiency: Watts and Joules per Token

Measured board power, tokens per joule, and electricity cost per million tokens for local LLM inference on a retail RTX 5080, with 1Hz telemetry.

What this measures

Board power logged with nvidia-smi at 1Hz while driving fixed-length generations on a retail RTX 5080, converted to tokens per joule and dollars per million tokens.

Efficiency

Model tokens/joule median board W
Llama 3.2 3B 1.20 265
gpt-oss 20B (sparse, MXFP4) 0.665 292
Qwen 2.5 7B 0.53 344 (the peak, not the biggest model)
Qwen 2.5 14B 0.317 312

The sparse 20.9B model is roughly twice as efficient per joule as the dense 14B. Architecture and quantization beat parameter count on the efficiency axis, not only on speed.

The finding almost nobody publishes for consumer cards

This card does not idle where every 24/7 cost model assumes. Across a week of captures it sat at 52-71W at the Windows desktop, pinned in P0 with graphics clocks near 2.9GHz. The cleanest state achievable (wallpaper closed, no model resident) still read 53.7W. Reviews quote single-digit-to-15W idle.

At the May-2026 EIA US residential average of $0.184/kWh, 52-71W around the clock is 456-622 kWh, roughly $85-115/year before a single token is generated.

That inverts the usual budget framing: generation itself costs only $0.04-$0.16 per million tokens, so model choice barely moves a home node's bill. What the box does during the other 23 hours dominates it.

Check your own card with nvidia-smi --query-gpu=power.draw --format=csv before trusting any spec-sheet idle figure, mine included.
