Hello, i got my new laptop last month and i try to use GPUZ to check my GPU temp and i was find out that my RTX 5080 PerfCap Reason was stuck on PWR even idle, is this normal?

It's normal for the RTX 5080’s PerfCap reason to show PWR even at idle due to power management limits set by NVIDIA to optimize efficiency and prevent power spikes. Unless you experience performance drops or overheating, no action is needed. Just keep your drivers updated and monitor temps.
