    Passing power through doesn’t have to put noticeable load on the GPU.

    I specifically said thermal load. Power delivery always causes heat dissipation due to I2R losses.

      That’s what I meant. Compared to the power the GPU is actually using, transmission losses for a pass-through should be negligible. If you have a good way to get it to the card in the first place.
