Hi!
Anyone know what exact diffrerence this has? Is there any difference in max power? I have been running the quiet one and playing around with overclocking. Reached pretty high values in benchmarking, but playing Cyberpunk the highest overlocks were not stable for long.
It does not seem to be possible to increase the Power target over 100% in GPU Tweak. Is there any way to go above 100%? Would performance mode increase it? Increasing the voltage from 0% to even 100% does not seem to make overlocks any more stable or increase actual power draw at all. Absolute highest power I got was 600W in the 3DMark Speedway with high clocks. Cyberpunk used around 550-570W.
I feel the cooler is just overkill here. I have made custom curves and I can keep the fans almost silent at like 800RPM and still be only 60C temp. with about 3150 average clock in Cyberpunk all maxed. Going any higher or pushing memory over +2000 starts giving freezes no matter what voltage setting
I feel like I can't push the card as high as possible to make use of all that cooling power. Is it just the limits of the chip then?
Still I am super happy with the card. Stable 3150 in game, very silent. Running Cyberpunk 5120x1440 everything maxed DLSS Quality, 4xFG gives average FPS close to 240, max of my monitor. What a joy to play CP at that FPS. Sure upscaling and "fake frames" but it looks really really good. DLAA drops it to 120FPS but is not playable because of the low native FPS and the only difference I can see is in some close cutscenes and some specific textures looking very closely. In movement there is no difference to be seen.

600 watts is the max official of the 16pin connector spec. The card is already allowed to access all 600 watts. So it being at 100% power is max spec. With melting cables, connectors, and other concerns, I doubt ASUS will allow anything beyond 100%.
Only difference between P and Q modes from my understanding is fan curves. Does not technically provide a higher clocks. Just potentially lower temps, which might allow longer sustained clock boosts.
