Need more info... let's start with what graphics card you have, driver version you're using, MSI Afterburner version, OS version, etc.

I don't recall any GTX 460's I had where I could raise the power limit, never OC'd em much tho...A quick Google search found this post from 2012 says that 400-series cards didn't support the power limit feature.

My 570s never had a power limit option in MSI Afterburner. I could tweak the actual voltage, but no use of the power limit slider.

Yep, GTX400/500 cards didn't have adjustable power limits.
