Hey,

 

I've just installed MSI Afterburner today, and I was wondering why the Power Limit % slider bar is grayed out, and I cannot edit it. If anybody could shed some light on the topic, it would be immensely appreciated! My graphics card is a GTX 650 OC.

Its probably cause you have a GTX 650, I think. I have a GTX 670 and I have it enabled.

Maximums - Asus Z97-K /w i5 4690 Bclk @106.9Mhz * x39 = 4.17Ghz, 8GB of 2600Mhz DDR3,.. Gigabyte GTX970 G1-Gaming @ 1550Mhz

Thanks! By no Boost functionality, is that why the Power Limit cannot be raised? I was considering upgrading to a GTX960 soon, as this one is old.

It's my best guess why its not using a power limit as far as I could tell.

GTX 960 would be a very fitting upgrade, pretty awesome boost from the GTX 650, plus the software tech abilities.
