The card itself may have a specific power-save mode, but I very much doubt it. The power consumed by the monitor is another story, but you know how to turn that off. If you want a way to save power and periodically run commands and fetch stuff, just buy a low-power PC. My Intel Atom-powered box consumes 26 W in normal operation, so I never turn it off.
