Hello everyone, I'm working with a Gigabyte GTX 1050Ti and trying to push it overclock. I've reached my optimal point, but the power limit display on MSI Afterburner sometimes changes, causing the clock speed to drop slightly. It seems the power limit switches at 69W, while checking the GPU VBIOS shows a target of 72W and a maximum of 75W. https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/1955...6-170623-1 I’m not very familiar with motherboards, but could my BIOS be restricting the PCIe x16 slot to 69W? I read online that PCIe x16 slots have a 75W limit. My board is an MSI MPG B550 GAMING PLUS.
