I put my computer to sleep when I sleep and it is scheduled to do some AV scans and updates in the night. I have my monitor off. There seems to be some problem when it goes into the idle state - when monitor powers off. So I wanted ti know if I could remove the switch off monitor (idle) option. Will that increase my GPU's power consumption? Does it not give any video output in idle?
