what are these 2 values?

[shazammm]

 

so are these 2 values accurate? ''GPU Core Power'' and ''GPU Chip Power'' . does these 2 values added give the total power consumption of the video card? isn't 33w +5w (38w) too much for an idle system,asking this , because from a review i saw that the idle power draw for the same card was 15w. i got an rx 570 sapphire nitro btw

Run a game that can hit the power limit hard, see what happens

 

Also you dont get to read total power draw of the card since AMD still doesn't have sensors for that. It could read power draw from all the VRMs, but it has no idea what the efficiency is and hence no idea what the full power draw is.

i tried to run only dota2. it goes like 80w + 60w . something like that but it can lower, the values varry all the time when ingame. btw, i heard ppl saying that there is a ''silent mode'' and ''boost mode'' options for this card, any idea where i can find them>

Guess it's 60w for the GPU core, 20w for the memory controller then

 

silent mode and boost mode is probably talking about the two bios of the card. Mayabe they act different I dont know. Nor do I care when I could do software tunings

i still don't know how to acces them. also i have tried to find the ''power saving option'' in wattmman but it's also not there. managed to lower the temps tho fromm 47C IDLE to 31C , just by turning the fan on at 22% , was completely off before. also is there a thread here where it tells you how to undervolt rx570 cards?

there should be a bios switch physically on the card, on the top specifically

Mine gives the option for total power and normalized power. Total always being 3% or more over normalized. But I see 109-119% power for my cards. But that’s using something like precisionx so I can actually use an overlay.

This has been explained a few times here on forum.
GPU Core Power covers only the core rail of the GPU (measured via VRM telemetry). GPU chip power should cover entire GPU chip power (core + aux + additional logic), which is calculated by the GPU and partially measured (core and sometimes aux too) and partially estimated based on activity counters (additional logic) or fixed constants. Note, that the core power might sometimes seem higher, due to instantaneous peaks, which are averaged in the total (chip) power calculation.
