On the topic of NV31 idle power: https://videocardz.com/newz/amd-radeon-rx-7900-xtx-idle-power-consumption-drops-from-104-to-20-watts-on-4k-144hz-monitor-once-vrr-is-enabled

Yea the idle power draw is fine if I only attach one monitor. But I have 3…

Not much can be done about that. If you're not hitting a vertical blanking interval compatibility issue, you're likely hitting a bandwidth constraint requiring maximum mclk at idle to sustain those displays.

With that said, the idle power improvements have hit various display configurations, including many dual monitor setups.
