PWR cap on GPU-Z

NotNexus

Hello all, im currently looking at performance with destiny 2 only getting 80 frames roughly. Ive done some runs on heaven uniengine and im noticing a perfcap reason being power. I was just wondering why this is as i have been told this psu is good enough for the system and i dont know why im only getting 80 frames on destiny 2 with but 144 on mw2 with frame cap. Any help would be great! I will list the spec down below. Destiny settings on ultra and mw2 settings on ultra.

It's not a limit of the power supply. You're reaching the target power limit of the graphics card. The 3060Ti has a total board power of 200W. Your screenshot shows it using 197W and 98.5% of the power target which means it's reaching the set power limit for the card. That's normal behaviour and your graphics card is working as it should.


You could try increasing the power limit in overclocking software like MSI Afterburner, but it won't make as much difference as you are probably expecting.

Different games perform differently. Try lowing the settings on Destiny 2 if you want a higher framerate.

@Spotty That was the news I was looking for, Ill try afterburner to see if I get a smaller bump up. I'm just glad the PSU is sufficient. Thank you so much for shedding some light on this for me!
