Vrel stand for Voltage Reliability, and PWR is Power Limit, Perfcap is performance cap reason, its telling you the reason its capped at its current performance and wont clock higher which is normal. VREL just means it can't go higher without exceeding comfortable voltage, while Power Limit means if a card uses 300W when you hit 300W usage in the card the performance cap reason is the power limit Pwr.

They are there to just help you out, to explain why your card wont clock or perform any higher. only reason to be worried about it is if you have issues with your card.
