In general, raising the power limit causes a drop in FPS, while lowering it brings them back closer to normal (just a bit slower than usual). This trend has only begun and I was planning to sell my GPU—please check the video 2023-09-30 17-02-36.mp4 for more details.

this is normal. and why are you using outdated software like fumark? (don't answer that please lol...) i recommend to reset your bios, deinstall any overclocking software you may have installed and run your computer at default settings as that typically gives best and most stable experience.

It never mentions anything about me. Usually it shows "perf cap reason: idle".

even under max load, mind you! (edited post with picture) it very rarely says "power", like once a year lol...

Thanks for the feedback. The results were consistent across environments. The GPU-Z reports vRel, VOp, and PWR. 2023-09-30 20-42-24.mp4

OK. There is definitely something weird going on. Considering there is only 5% extra power limit I don't think it matters anyways but it should NOT cut your FPS from roughly 70 to roughly 40, lol. You should actually see some small performance increase or none at all at best. I've never actually seen GPU-Z to report VOp VOp = Operating. Indicating perf is limited by max operating voltage So it seems like your card is for some reason using lower clocks at higher voltage. Can you check the voltage/frequency curve in MSI Afterburner by pressing CTRL+F ?
