PerfCap Reason? MSI GTX1070 Gaming X

P4-630 · Jun 22, 2016

Just got my MSI GTX1070 Gaming X.
I got some blue graphs in perfcap reason.
What does it mean? It was surely not overheating.

Mouseover and it should tell you

Its likely the same as the 970.
Perfcap, can be remedied by increasing the voltage in the bios a little bit.
Either way i wouldnt sweat it unless along with the perfcap activity, you get large drops in gpu utilization.

in which case its as i said above,and throttling back for some reason, as w1zzard said, just see what reading it is giving.

If you search perfcap here on tpu, youll find plenty of threads in the subject from 9xx.

The mouseover on the blue graph says VRel, is it something I should worry about?

It's called "Reliability Voltage", the maximum voltage that the card is allowed to run at.

Everything is normal.

I was afraid my 500 Watts PSU could not provide enough power to my new card. :wtf:

Pfew, all seems fine then as W1zz said. :toast:

Happy GTX1070 owner.
