Hi all! I recently moved to Nvidia. First of all, I apologize because I accidentally deleted the data I gathered on my card. I wrote a short batch file that would gather gpu stats and log it on a csv, and a quick python to visualize it. (my other GPU caught smoke after 45 days of owning it brand new, 7900xt reference) so I was trying to see if it was my PSU or any other causes,

I was playing Cyberpunk on 1080p. Everything on max, path tracing and all was on as well. I had a good fps which did not drop below 60.

I have atleast 40hours on cyberpunk now,

I decided to watch the graph and notcied that the powerdraw is normal, but there was a few seconds where the card was drawing 283 watts. That’s 2 watts away from max. Is this safe? I know the TDP of the card is 285. Was just curious. I’ll continue on playing and gathering data, after fixing the script and maybe I canpost a graph here to enhance the post. How high can these cards draw power stock off the box?

for a good three mnutes, it was just dwelling at 286-282.

The average draw seems normal. Those dips are me opening the menu or taking a break
