Can someone post comparison to X11 in terms of power consumption please? Is it higher? Is it lower?

With x11 you may not be too successful with undervolting your gpus much.  Since neoscrypt is a scrypt algo, you can undervolt substantially.

When I leave my cards at x11 settings (full voltage) and then switch to neoscrypt, it pulls 13% more from the wall.
However, if I undervolt my cards to a scrypt setting it is only about 7% more.  Of course this depends on which gpus you have.  I may be able to work my cards down even more with neoscrypt but I am content here.
