Weird things about 50 series.

GPU-Z reads gpu chip power like 100Watts when card is 275W in game. Why?

Pcie slot power draw is only 2.5Watts. Why they pull all of the 275W through power cables only? To let them burn easier? I would like to balance it by drawing 35Watts from pcie slot.

Memory oc goes %100 scaling with +2000. Why so high safety margin? Same with gpu.

+25mV overvolting limit with voltage slider at 100%. 25mV is like +75MHz. Its like 90FPS to 91.5FPS. Not effective, so why does it exist?

Asus rog strix 5070 --> same price as 5070ti or even a low end 5080. Why this exists? Its a tesla engine inside a bugatti veyron.

Bug in driver/GPU-Z.

Good luck. Ain't happening, unless you're a prodigy reverse engineer.

Why so high safety margin?

1. Less people buying cheaper GPUs and OCing them to the levels of the more expensive ones.
2. Less people asking for a refund after destroying their GPUs.

Not effective, so why does it exist?

Just as a "We allowed you overvolting your card, what else do you want us to do for you?"

Why this exists?

Because people keep buying whatever despite not really needing that, or even being able to realistically afford it in the first place. The market's full of addicts who buy GPUs every generation not because it'll improve their gaming experience but because they're hooked on buying stuff. Shopaholics if you will. This results in prices being horrendous and vendors capitalizing on it.

Part of the reasoning why I don't buy GPUs this year. Too expensive, too many people active which makes it even more expensive and the quality isn't right here. Meh.
