Hi all,
Managed to get myself a Gigabyte Windforce OC at (almost) MSRP. I used Afterburner and did some overclocking. The power limit is 300W and I'd have to flash another BIOS to get more which is easy enough. Here's the thing I can't work out: When doing Time Spy Extreme runs, Afterburner is reporting the Max_Power_Limit at 1 so that should indicate it's hit 300W max but at the same time reported power usage is only 250W.
What am I not getting here?
TIA
Edit: OK, shut down computer, pulled power and left it for 15 seconds. Rebooted and Afterburner, on load froze the PC. Took a while but uninstalled Afterburner and deleted settings. Power down as before, rebooted and re-installed Afterburner. Somehow(!) the GPU seemed stuck on a wrong base clock of 1200Mhz and a max power limit of 250W. Note sure whether beta 5 of Afterburner has a bug or wtf is going on.
