This might be a simple question but does your desktop change background? it usually consumes cpu power but the video card produces everything you see so maybe this is the issue.

Also I know it doesn't take THAT much power to change background but maybe your resolution is super high and so is your desktop background and so it makes a high quality blend transition every time. To check, open msi afterburner and then change the desktop background (right click on desktop) then check afterburner and see if there is activity.
