true and the best efficiency you reach if you use 50% of the PSU.
If you under or over 50% you will lose efficiency.

If you would like to have the best efficiency make sure, you buy a PSU 
that has the double power you require and make sure you buy a 80 plus 
gold or higher.
I keep it for yourself the make a calculation how much power you waste 
compared to the higher price you have to pay.

Here you can find a quick overview:
