[SOLVED] RTX 3080 Zotac Amp Holo not drawing more than 340W.

Hi all,
Please, help me out with this!

With the power slider, maxed at 110%, in MSI Afterburner, my card should, constantly, pull over 340W, and close to 374W. Actually, I think that it should even, go beyond this figure, as I've been accustomed with my previous cards, like115%.

So, in gaming, it's allways round 330W, more, or less. Rarely, spiking, over 345W. I've once, managed to ramp it at a 358 W spike, using +200Mhz on the core, for a benchmark.

Shouldn't the power, during gaming, frequently, be round 360W? Is my card underperforming?

Corsair RMX850W - two individual cables, going into the cards's two 8-pins;
X570 Aorus Master;
GPU @ 72C, in gaming;
Measurements were taken with MSI Afterburner - ... Beta 3.

Thank you, for any advice.

2x8 pin =300W, 110% of 300W is 330W... You can't magically expect it to draw more than what the cables can provide.

So, where are the 75W, from the PCIe? Is it possible to have disabled them, from the BIOS?

I've seen, on YouTube, the RTX 3080 TUF, showing a constant 350W-370W, in gaming. And it has the same 2x8 pins.

Sold the AMP Holo to a miner and got an 3080 MSI Suprim X LHR. That card is able to pull 430W-440W constantly. So, the AMP Holo 3080 is gimped!!!!! Solved!
