Depends on the load. Gaming vs non-gaming is subjective. Playing a game can push the GPU to 100% just like video rendering can, so you'll have to talk about load percentages specifically.

Ok thank you

I am thinking to buy a R9 390 and due to it's high wattage consumption i am trying to figure out a power-saving plan...

If you have Windows turn off the display output, the GPU will essentially go into an Off mode to save power.

When doing something else except for gaming, the Gpu does not consume the same wattage like when gaming ha?How close is the wattage consumption between gaming mode and non-gaming mode?

so my system draws 150 watts total iel, and ramps to liek 800, 900 watts
