Hey i've recently bought this new gpu (Msi Gtx 1660 super ventus xs oc) like 2 months, maybe it wasn't the best choise but based on my country economy was the best that i've could actually buy with my budget.
The thing is i've been using it perfectly without any problems and works perfectly. but i've been monitoring it since i've bought it using HWMonitor and Msi Afterburner and i've got some doubts about Power consume while low power usage.
Never overclocked it and i'm not planning too.
The thing is i've usually don't mind in running games at medium settings, i've don't even care in put my gpu at max everytime and play in ultra/high.
But for example playing Black desert at mid settings power usage sometimes could be 70W to like 127/128W. capped at 75fps fresh rate (Monitor)
1. But my doubt is could the gpu go to 127/128W TDP at only 60/65% gpu usage? or something is wrong?
2. While playing black desert mid settings based on msi afterburner top was 114% Power limit and 126.8 Watts max (Yesterday i've managed to see it at 130Watts at msi afterburner and like 117% Power limit)
How it's this possible if msi afterburner it's limited at 100% power limit? why it goes over 100% power limit? anyway i've know my gpu tdp is like 125W
3-While playing in average can go to 70-90W to 127W that i've think it's normal, but i'm unsure if it's normal considering that my gpu is at like 60% usage.
4. Used furmark to test a bit and gpu works fine but Tdp fluctuated at around 95% to 101.5%. Never lower then 95%.
5. Probably it's just working fine and msi could be wrong and 114% power limit maybe is 100% power limit? that gives me 127W TDP that's it's perfectly normal? I've know it peak 130W once dunno why.
6. I'm just scared if something is wrong with my psu or why msi is showing over 100% when it's limited to 100%.
Edit: I've used to have turned on show power lim at msi and it used to keep poping up "Lim Power" While gaming, while it was reaching like 125W or so Lim power shows up on and off. but gpu usage was still at like 60% or so at certain moments during gameplay.
Specs
CPU: Ryzen 5 5600x
GPU: Gtx 1660 super ventus xs oc
Mother: Asus tuf gaming b550m-plus
Ram: 16GB 3000mhz
Psu: 600W plus bronze.
Power percent 114%
Power usage 126.8W
Power limit showing numer 1?
Temperature max was 67°
Usage max was 98% sometimes 99%
124.6W TDP at 64% gpu usage? and like 90-100w+ Average at like 50% usage or so while gaming, maybe when it reachs like 125W maybe gpu goes to 99% usage for a second? i'm unsure. or maybe it's normal
