GPUZ - Pwr and VRel VOp field on new card

[litwicki24]

Hi Guys,

I have scoured the inet for the answer to this but no joy! I get the green 'perf cap pwr' when gaming with gpuz and sometimes orange Vrel Vop. Anything to worry about?

Thanks in advance. Card is Asus Gtx 780 Ti DirectCuII and PSU is XFX 750.

It's short for something called "Performance cap".
Is it a bad thing ?
Depends
It means card can't clock itself higher (Turbo 2.0), because of those reasons.

"Pwr" means highest Power Target (TDP) has been reached, ie. Your GPU is now using designed "250W". It could go higher (temps and voltage allow it), but it would hog up over "250W".
"VRel"/"VOp" are indicating that card could go higher (it's got power/TDP and temperature room for it), but voltage reached highest possible level and going higher would mean overvoltage on GPU Core (and Turbo Boost 2.0 technology can't do that, when GPU vCore limit is in place).

It's nothing to worry about.
It just means U are utilizing 100% of GPU power.
