From my (just a user) perspective, GPUs are expensive, they shouldn't be left standing if they're not being used.

I was there Gandalf, 3000 years ago, when people used folding@home to donate idle CPUs.

How much does a idling GPU actually take when there is no monitor attached and no activity on it? My monitor turns off after 10 minutes of inactivity or something, and at that point, I feel like the power draw should be really small (but haven't verified it myself).
