Perfcap Reason PWR on idle

[Cdeq]

Hi, i just bought brand new TUF 4070ti Super non oc.

However i got this strange read on Gpu-z perfcap reason sensor. It was on idle, no load, low clock speed, low tdp and low wattage / volt. 

However i keep getting perfcap reason pwr constantly. I found other person as well having this issue but his card is Tuf 4070 ti. Anyone know is this normal ?

Hello Cdeq

Are you using the latest version of GPU-Z?

Yes, i used the latest one. Even on the Hwmonitor also it hit power limit 1 on idle.

Hi @Cdeq ,

If it's only on idle what impact is it having on the system?

[Cdeq]

Hi @Silent_Scone , no negative impact during idle, seems normal only. Is this normal ? 😂

[Cdeq]

I found a fixes, which is just set power management mode from normal to prefer maximum performance on nvidia control panel. Now it seems normal read alreay, no more perfcap reason pwr intervals.

But felt weird though why normal mode it keep read perfcap reason pwr meanwhile no load, no high wattage / volt whatsoever 😂
