RX580 power draw question.

[vicvega1031]

For some reason my Rx 580 is only pulling 100 watts when playing games. I look on other websites and they're saying that the Rx 580 is going to pull close to 200 to 300 watts. Is there something wrong with my system?

If the games aren't maxing out the card you won't see higher wattages.

The spec on that card is 185 watts.

I just upgraded from Geforce 960 to RX 580 and was wandering the same and thought something was wrong with my card, you calmed me down whew
