I'm just thinking of using what I already have.. I also suspect there is an efficiency sweet spot than running at full capacity

Oh, absolutely. The higher-end you go, the more the product is tuned for balls to the walls power with no consideration for efficiency.

As the extreme example, the 4090 can deliver almost 94% of it's full potential when limiting its power draw to about 70% and/or undervolting it.

(Not exactly sure about the numbers, but you get the idea)
