    if it’s being connected to something like a dock, and full desktop monitor, those monitors have their own power source. mobile displays like this one get power through the usb-c plug.

    The links are just for clarity, OP never said what he’s connecting them to. since VGA is being mentioned… I assume a full desktop monitor… but, ya know…

        Then no, it’s power is coming from the wall.

        You might see some extra drainage on gpu, unless you’re gaming, it won’t be notable
