Try running a local video generation model like DALLE-3 on your machine; or just generate a few frames, like 96 sequentially in FLUX at 1024×1024.
Video generation is a lot harder on GPUs than single image gen.
My own local performance is 480W with consumer level hardware, and obviously enterprise grade can be about 5× more efficient (see: Nvidia H200/600W) depending on optimizations, load balancing, and highest grade chipsets, but overall, it's still a pretty gigantic computer task to generate even a five minute long video from scratch.
A+ example and description
I don't have a machine capable of any of that kind of compute. And W doesn't tell me much about the amount of energy used.
