When playing Williams tables at 2560x1440 resolution in view 2, with frame rate locked and game settings at 120 FPS, the power consumption ranges between 170W and 200W. My 144Hz G-sync monitor ensures a smooth gaming experience without any screen tearing, and the render latency stays under 4ms.However, I've noticed that when I access the main menu or view the leaderboard after a game, the power usage spikes to 250W-280W. Interestingly, if I start playing the same table again from the end game/leaderboard screen, the wattage drops back to the 170W-200W range. This behavior is consistent for most Williams tables, although Medieval Madness tends to consume more power (230W-270W). Tables like Adams Family, Raider of the Lost Ark, Bride of Pinbot, and Dr. Dude consistently play under 200W.Keep in mind that these observations are with Ray Tracing disabled; enabling it pushes power consumption above 350W.It's a bit surprising that the main menu demands roughly twice the power compared to actual gameplay. This could be an indication that some optimization is necessary. I hope the developers can allocate resources to improve performance while continuing to deliver new content. After all, a polished gaming experience is essential for players to fully enjoy the game.</blockquote>
