Hi all

Trying to figure out if what im displaying is normal its strange behavior just trying to get an idea on whats going on. Its not like the typical % overshoot issue.

My card is a gigabyte RTX 3080 Vision OC, when playing new world im seeing spikes on the TDP normalized in hwinfo and the msi afterburner overlay of around 115%. The normal TDP power is saying 93% which would make sense as its hitting 340W and its a 370W card.

My question is why am I seeing spikes of power that arent actually happening as if my cards running 100% power it would be at 370W and Afterburner and HWINFO are reporting 340W at a “normalised TDP” of 111%. Unsure if i should just ignore the normalised figure as its not going above its Wattage?

Is this normal behavior?

Hi!

Some gpus are having this kind of issue and our suggesting is to decrease the power of your gpu in order to prevent any problem.

I understand this however every benchmark game, stress test literally anything I throw at it doesn’t produce what this games doing in terms of the TDP?

This issue is only with this game. With me turning the power of my GPU down I presume there is a fix coming as if this was widespread across everything I try I would understand however this is an isolated problem
