Yeah, I ran some image generators on my RTX2070, and it took a solid minute at full power to do it. Sure, it's not a crazy amount, but it's not like it's running on your iPhone.
you can get a very small generator running on a modern phone if you want a grainy 400x400 piece of anime trash
Nothing more than playing a game for that minute
there aren't many games that tax your gpu like inference, where it's pegged for the entire time. i have a power usage tracker on my desktop because my gpu is stupidly powerhungry, and it uses way more power doing inference than playing a modern graphics-intensive game.
