I’m still running a 480 that doubles as a space heater (I’m not even joking; I increase the load based on ambient temps)

A 486, eh?

I am assuming that’s a GTX 480 and not an RX 480; if so - kudos for not having that thing melt the solder off the heatsink by now! 😅

  The GTX 480 is efficient by modern standards. If Nvidia could make a cooler that could handle 600 watts in 2010 you can bet your sweet ass that GPU would have used a lot more power.
  
  Well that and if 1000 watt power supplies were common back then.
