So it's not that they don't 'turn on' but your particular gpu does not? Because this why people use load switches is because on mining, where they use multiple psus to power gpus separate from motherboard. Some gpus would start their fan immediately when they receive power, so I guess it depends on the power design?


I mean, with psus you get specs that states idle power consumption when no load is connected. No such spec with gpus, so your card might very well consuming phantom watts just being connected to live rail.
