Question GPU-Z not showing Board Power

[nazsoyo]

I am using RX 6600 and the only power draw i see is 'GPU Chip Power Draw', but on my other GPU i was getting the total Board Power, is this just an AMD thing? can i still somehow see the total GPU power with any other software?

try afterburner

Just checked, not in there either, nor is it in HWiNFO, it must not be available on certain GPU.

maybe the AMD control center itself

That only shows the chip power, same as GPU-Z.

Also, make sure GPU-Z is fully up to date, to include even removing and re-installing the most recent version with the current GPU installed (you mentioned a change earlier, could be a sensor issue as the tool is currently installed).

What is the other GPU?

RX6600 isn't exactly a high end model, if they decided to skimp on a sensor readout, that would not be surprising. Basically would be the memory and fan power in addition to the GPU.

Just tried it but no luck.

The other one is B580. Yeah i think you're right, it must be the GPU itself.

Would you have any idea on what a rough estimate could be for whole card? for example right now while i am browsing i am getting 7W for Chip Power Draw, so would it be something like 10-14W total?

For my B580 while browsing i was getting 13W Chip Power Draw and the whole card was 26W, so pretty much double.

At idle, no idea.

AMD claims a TBP of 132W under load.
