could some kind soul explains what it means?

Quote from W1zzard about perfcap:

This is a feature of newer NVIDIA drivers. They report back why performance is capped (reason for clocks reduced)
When you are not running a 3D app, clocks go down -> Limited by GPU Utilization

Other possible values are when the card is running into power limit, or when it's running too hot. There are also cap reasons related to voltage.

This feature is experimental, I'm not sure how useful it is for users. Also due to a bug the graph will overflow to the left, drawing over current value and the label.

Vrel more than likely means voltage is the limiting factor.

ohh ok, so it doesnt mean my beloved psu isnt powerfull enough?

No. It just means the card would need more voltage to clock higher.
