As the title says, I own an MSI GTX 1080 Ti DUKE and when I am at full load and leave the power limit alone my tdp is roughly 100% (Under load)

BUT, when I raise the power limit (Screenshot: https://imgur.com/a/qVFXz) for a moment it does well and the power goes above 100%*What I want*. But shortly after it actually makes the power consumption go way down.(Screenshot: https://imgur.com/a/hm9X8) This limits my performance. I do not care how much power I am taking, I want to get the absolute most out of the card so when I try to raise the power limit and it does the opposite of what it is meant to do I am very confused.

No I did not adjust voltage whatsoever, only power limit
 


I use this PC for mostly gaming but mining as well. I changed the fan curve so that it basically never goes over 70c so I know that can't be it.
