MSI Afterburner Power Limit (%) Slider

[False_Alarm]

So I opened up msi afterburner again after a long time, I have a stable over clock for my graphics cards. I saw this option I have never seen before, it says "Power Limit (%)".

I would like to know what it does and changes, I haven't touched it because I didn't know what it does (I assume something to do with the voltage?). So does it increase performance, will it blow up my graphics cards and what does it change are the exact answers i'm after

Thanks in advance for any helpful responses

Power limit is basically a slider that adjusts how much power the card can draw. If you want the best overclocks, have the slider to the max. This will allow the card to draw as much power as it needs and allows your overclock to be more stable!

But does it increase the risk of my cards being damaged?
