powerlevels while gaming?

Hi,

so out of curiosity reasons, sort of, i was curious to see if anyone wanted to share their power levels the gpu uses when you are playing your favourite triple A game 
for example

I like playing total war warhammer II mortal empire campaigns, i use a 1060 3gb and measure on afterburner around 60% power use while playing this game ( on 1080 settings mix of ultra and medium = this is optional ) 

sounds cheesy, i know, but if you want to help someone out plz share your figures :)

Whoa .. highest i ever accomplished is 80% … do you freeze? 

No, why would I? I can have it hit 119%. It’s just power. The limit gets hit all the time.

Oke, I actually never noticed a gpu going over its powerlevel... With the previous drivers ( pre Nvidia 20 series ) with an overclocked cpu i hit 90% once with the 1060... have a 1050 and a 770 lying around to but with the same story. I figured you had it cooled for extreme results, maybe it is a manufacturer thing or quality ..

All 5 of my 1080's easily hit power limit. Isnt hard to do when the card sees 100% usage. Even have my titans and titan blacks do it when ran individually.

@Christiaan21-03 Problem is percentages can be so ambiguous. My old 1080 could hit over 200% for instance. GPU-Z has a bug when it calculates my 1050Ti power in Watts from percentages but then Nvidia have admitted the 1050Ti readings are crap so the newer drivers no longer report power for them.

AWOL

One of the reasons was that i was curious to see if the 60%/70% line would follow through across the bord
