Quick question

Using HWinfo to check TDP % of my rtx 3080.

Total GPU power (normalised) (% of TDP) is 115%

Total GPU power (% of TDP) is 99%

Why are they so different and is the one going over 100% bad and not normal?

This is whilst gaming

Gigabyte Vision OC RTX 3080
 
Solution
TDP and card max board power limit aren't the same thing. The max power can vary based on card and won't always be the same as the specced TDP.
