Power consumpiton rx470

[bokisa]

Okay, so I've bought sapphire rx470 4GB version, and i have one question to ask.
Is it okay if my graphics card "only" consumes 85 watts of power during gaming, and in furmark maxed out power consumption is 94 watts?
I've also tried in radeon wattman power limit settings to push the slider to the end, but nothings changed.
Also to mention i've bought it as a second hand device. Everything works fine, but i was reading that it usually consums more than 100 watts...
My power supply is chieftec 700watts 80plus bronze. So it has enough power, but I'm just curious is that the right way it should be working.
Also in meny onther rewies I saw more power consumption than mine has...

The rx470 is a pretty low end card so it makes total sense to take up very little wattage

My bad I assumed the rx 470 was bad because the rx 550 is a lowend card

RX 470 is still a good card for gaming at 1080 resolution. No 100% sure but I thought cheiftec power supplies are low quality?

Yup its still good for 1080p gaming, but I'm conserned about power consumption, it seems too low. Maybe the previous owner did something with bios? How should I inspect that?

There aren't any settings in the Bios that would affect the GPU power consumption. Did you do a fresh install of Windows or are you running it pre-installed from the previous owner?

Another thing, what CPU do you have? And how much memory? If your CPU isn't strong enough it may not push the 470 to its limits
