What gpu do you have?

What gpu do you have?

R9 380

 

[k1114]

I don't think you can.

Hm, i see, thanks. Is there any other way to check if the power limit is throttling my cards performance?

 

[k1114]

Power limit doesn't throttle exactly. It'll just limit your clocks back to stock clocks. If you are ocing, then you should raise the limit anyways then the only issues would be temps or instability.

I'm not exactly OC'ing, but my card came factory overclocked (from around 985 to 1010mhz), and i've noticed core clocks tend to drop below 1000, sometimes down to 950, so i'm guessing i should increase power limit?

Assuming temps aren't the issue. What are temps?

yes, keep an eye on temps

70°-75°, max i've ever seen is 76°, temperature target is set to 100°c by default so i don't think temperatures are the problem, right?

 

[k1114]

That's fine.

Okay then, thanks for the help mate !
