We measure system-wide power draw from the wall while running Cyberpunk 2077 for 30 minutes.

For those wondering about total system power draw, we saw just under 220 Watts consumed at the wall socket. Bearing in mind that is with a 12900K CPU as well, so with something like a Ryzen 5 3600, it could go even lower. AMD recommends a 400W power supply.
