Not sure about the math involved, but the Radeon card is the only new device (including home appliances) I've bought in the past year, so it becomes the defacto culprit, IMHO. While gaming in Windows I do boost my liquid cooling system to "Performance" mode, which I never did with the NVIDIA card. And I also use a custom Radeon curve that revs up the card's fans while gaming.. again, something I never did with the 1080. So maybe it's a combination of all 3 that's eating up the power. (Assuming the Radeon card isn't just malfunctioning, that is).
