gpu preformance capped my reliable voltage

[Aryatikku30]

in gpuz it basically always says im capped by reliable voltage and almost always by operating voltage. in almost all my games i get lower fps than what i should be getting with a 3060 and sometimes i get the same amount on the 3060 than i do with my 1660. is there any fix for this? can i increase the voltage more than what msi afterburner lets me or is there a different fix?

What about GPU usage and clock speeds? Maybe you're bottlenecked by something else. Voltage limit reason for Nvidia is used broadly, it could be hitting max allowed voltage or the GPU usage is too low to justify raising the clock speeds (since unused clock cycles do nothing but waste power)

i didnt over clock so stock speed should be the default and usage changes depending on the game but for newer games its at about 70-80,

for example far cry 6 i get 60 fps on max setting and on digital foundry they get 85fps on max 

 

but im getting less frames than what i should be compared to other 3060s so would it raise the gpu usage to give me more fps?

Not max usage means it is bottlenecked somewhere. Maybe your CPU is too slow, maybe you're running out of RAM, maybe you're capping your fps with Vsync etc.

 

GPU usage is not something you can raise directly, only indirectly. You have to figure out what is stopping it from going higher first.

the only thing it could be is probably my cpu i have a ryzen 5 2600, but would it say my cpu is the bottleneck not the voltage

 

o have 32 gb ram so its not that and i have a 144 hz moniter and always turn off vsync so it shouldnt be that either

no it won't.

What about frequency and dual channel mode? Zen+ is known to be weak at higher frame rates, it needs every bit of help from fast memory.
