GPUZ - perfcap orange field "VOP" - question

[litwicki24]

Hi Guys,

Was checking out the new Perfcap feature of GPU-Z, when I noticed the graph turn orange and blue with the reasons "vRel &vOp" showing up. That was after playing game. Should I be worried?
From what I've read somewhere, orange could indicate an issue... but can't really find more about it


GPU is Asus Gtx 780 Ti DirectCuII'
PSS is XFX 750 W

Max temps 81C from what i see on only auto fan 55%.

vRel = Reliability. Indicating perf is limited by reliability voltage.
VOp = Operating. Indicating perf is limited by max operating voltage.
Pwr = Power. Indicating perf is limited by total power limit.
Thrm = Thermal. Indicating perf is limited by temperature limit.
Util = Utilization. Indicating perf is limited by GPU utilization.

So if i got VOP after gaming in GPUZ is something bad with card?Its some kind of error?

No, it means everything is working fine. NVIDIA's Boost algorithm thought it could increase the clocks even further, but the NVIDIA driver said that this would require too much voltage, so there was no further increase.

This is normal on all recent NVIDIA cards, and a safety feature.

I think that means ( VOp ) the card is throttling back due to power issues of some sort. Can i be right?

No. It means what I wrote above

Today i checked GPUZ after playing game, and shows me full of green colour, which is PWR ( limit by power limit ). So its there not enough power or its ok? Can somebody explain me.

It means that the card is at its predefined power limit, as decided by the graphics card manufacturer to not overload or damage it. Again, this is completely normal and working as intended.
