Hey guys,

I am in the process of ocing my new gpu.

At first, I updated the bios to the last one available, I also have the nvidia drivers updated, my last GPU was a 1060.

I set the power limit to 112 (max), +50 to core clock and +300 to memory clock.

The problem is the card wont go over 1650 no matter what. After running +45 mins of furmark, the temp is around the 70 c, far away from temp limit, but I am hitting the power limit very hard and wont boost to 1750 which it should.

Using GPU-z it says that it wont boost more because of power limit.

I read a lot online and it says it should reach like 1900 really easy.

Do you know whats going on?

I am using MSI afterburner.
