Doubt in Gpu shark

[GyGaByTe_28]

hello very good.Today I have started to review my Gtx670 windoforce gigabyte and when I put a good load on the gpu shark there is a section that shows me 1 line that says Gpu power limit reached what is this?

it says something about nvidia limiting policies :ffu:

And what does San Google say :facepalm:

Check that you have the latest version of the program, drivers, that the case ventilation is adequate and the graphics card is not overheating, and finally, since you recently changed your font, check that you are feeding it with two different lines.

Salu2!

I've looked it up on google and I don't see anything clear about esto.la temperatures are perfect 64 degrees for the gpu under extreme load

The driver has the latest. The question is whether this warning is due to a lack of power supply that, as you said, I have put a new one. And if it is powered by 2 lines, one of 6 and another of 8

The pc doesn't have any crashes or anything strange. What I fear is that the vga is not working at 100%

Do you have FPS drops in games?
Does your screen go black, do you get an error message, a blue screen, or does your computer restart?

If not, maybe you should worry a little less about AF.

Edit: In any case, you may be able to get a more precise explanation on the forum of that application.

Will not the power target reach the limit?
monitor frequencies and power target, or you can raise it a bit with EVGA precision or MSI afterburner, it is rare that at the serial frequency it reaches the maximum, but now with the heat and if the heatsink is somewhat dirty or the thermal paste is older it is more possible.
If you raise the power target and the error does not appear it is that the graphics card is consuming more than what is assigned by power target, it would not be a matter of the power supply, I doubt it is the power supply, perhaps it is even the phases that heat up a lot now in summer.
It could also be the GPU Shark that has some incompatibility, try with another one to see, I trust more in putting a game and monitoring everything on the screen with Afterburner or precision, games that put the graphics at 100% load.

Thanks for the help.La the graphics card is like gold plated with nickel, the fans without any dust, I clean it from time to time vamos.La the graphics card does not exceed 63 degrees, I have been informing myself and apparently my model comes with an OC from the factory, its real core clock is 980mhz but gigabyte sells them at 1059mhz but that's not all, it really is operating at 1167mhz core and memory at 1502mhz. According to what I understand, gigabyte puts some securities in its bios that block the voltage etc and this is the one that is activated and reflected in the GPU Shark. To remove said limits, a modified bios must be put.
People with my graphics card model without touching voltages manage to reach up to 1300mhz in core and 1800mhz in memories. But I already tried putting it at 1200mhz in the core with the MSI and the computer freezes when passing Heaven 4.0, according to what they tell me, I have hit a lazy core, you can't do more oc than it comes.
They say that if I change the bios to a modified one and raising the voltage from 1,750 to a little more, I will surely reach 1300mhz but I think I will pass because touching voltages can fry the VGA, it is already a big deal.
I add that the pc does not freeze nor blue screens nor errors in the games nothing at all but I do notice frame drops which is what worries me because this 670gtx is noticeable that it is capable of much more and in my pc something is not going well and I am going crazy trying to find the fault.
The power supply that I bought new gives me all the values well but since I put it I have noticed the problems. But using the multimeter and looking at the values it is IMPOSSIBLE that it is the power supply if the power supply were short the values of any RAIL should fail or drop more than necessary and the pc would turn off or give serious failures.

These graphics, if you for example overclock +100, you must look at how much it actually goes up with boost, mine is Gigabyte, a 780 and it says 940 and 1006 with boost but in reality it goes up to 1124, so if I overclock the core by +100, in reality I'm putting it at 1224, that's why you should monitor the frequency to see how much it actually is.

This screenshot of mine is with a modified bios, but with a normal bios if GPU-Z tells me 1200, in reality the graphics card may be at 1300 or something more because it counts the real boost which can be different for each graphics card.

the best thing is to monitor it like I do on screen and see what evga precision or MSI afterburner tells you, because if yours tells GPU-Z 1187, it may be close to 1300mhz and if you overclock too much it's not stable.

fjavi, see if you can help me with the OC. My gtx670 is currently stock but the strange thing is that when I push the GPU, GPUZ tells me that it's stock with boost at 1167mhz and when I play games it's the same, but when I use Heaven 4.0 it tells me in the top right corner that it's running at 1289mhz and 3004mhz vram. When I overclock, Heaven says it goes to 1390mhz and GPUZ indicates in the sensors tab that it's boosting at 1250. Logically, Heaven at 1390 freezes but it doesn't freeze when playing games.

I don't understand why Heaven marks much more than GPUZ, even using HWininfo64 it tells me that it's operating at 1167mhz but Heaven indicates that it goes to 1289mhz, it's clear that Heaven is indicating the true one because otherwise it wouldn't freeze when I do some OC to the graphics card.

The curious thing is that STOCK, Heaven says it goes to 1289mhz core and all the other apps say it goes to 1167mhz

Look at what Heaven 4.0 says from the factory

Sorry, the core was stock there, I had only increased the vram

Let's see, we have FPS drop, and we can rule out the GPU and power supply issues for now.
If your system is like the one in this thread, we need to clarify if it only has that hard drive and the swap file configuration.

I have a 120gb Kingston Hyper X SSD as my primary drive and a 2tb Western Digital BLACK mechanical drive as my secondary drive, which only has 500 gigabytes of free space left. I install everything on the mechanical drive and the swap file is on the SSD set to the minimum of 1024, because if I disable it completely, I get a volmgr error in Event Viewer.

I have 16 gigabytes of Corsair MM3 RAM at 1333

@GyGaByTe_28:

fjavi a ver si me puedes ayudar con el tema OC.Mi gtx670 ahora mismo la tengo stock pero lo raro es que GPUZ cuando le meto caña a la GPU me dice que de stock con el boost esta a 1167mhz y jugando a juegos igual pero cuando uso el Heaven 4.0 me dice en la esquina superior derecha que esta funcionando a 1289mhz y 3004mhz la vram.Cuando hago el OC el heaven dice que va a 1390mhz y el GPUZ indica en la solapa sensors que esta en boost operando a 1250.Logicamente el heaven a 1390 se congela pero no se congela jugando a juegos.

No entiendo porque el heaven me marca mucha mas que el GPUZ incluso usando el HWininfo64 me indica que esta operando a 1167mhz pero el heaven indica que va a 1289mhz esta claro que el heaven esta indicando el verdadero porque sino no se bloquearia cuando le hago algo de oc a la grafica.

Lo curioso es que de STOCK el heaven dice que va a 1289mhz de core y todas las demas apps dicen que va a 1167mhz

Mira de fabrica lo que dice el heaven 4.0

Perdon el core esta stock ahi tenia solo subido la vram

A mi el Heaven solo me dice la frecuencia de las Memorias, el GPU-Z marca mal, por que no cuenta el Boost real, debes monitorizar en pantalla como hago yo, con EVGA precisión o el afterburner, esos te van a decir la frecuencia real.
En esta del Valley me esta marcando 1428mhz y el EVGA precisión me dice 1267mhz la real es esta ultima que me marca el EVGA precisión.

Por eso lo mejor es monitorizar y guiarte por lo que te diga el precisión o el afterburner, son los que te diran el boost real y frecuencia real que alcanzas.

I suppose that by "everything" you mean "everything that is not OS and applications".
If that is the case, the swap file should be on the SSD along with the OS, with a fixed size whose value, now that we do not have as many space problems, should match the one recommended by Windows, no matter how high it seems to us.
