Unfortunately the Intel Arc cards consume a lot of power even when idle. Mine (A380) is currently using around 39watts and its doing nothing (linux server with no monitors plugged in) (ASPM enabled in BIOS and confirmed to be working). My older Nvidia card used approx 3watts when idle. Hopefully their next series "Battlemage" fixes it and I'll upgrade immediately.
One of the biggest issues and it might just be my card, is that due to the power/heat the fan constantly makes a noise as it changes its RPM. I could attach/bodge a better cooler but i'm hoping to just sell the card on if "Battlemage" works out.
For transcoding though, the Intel Arc are beasts
