Can GPU-Z differentiate the mobile 3060 versions?

[consider]

I'd like to know if GPU-Z can tell me which RTX 3060 is in a laptop - for example the 80W or 115W version. The GPU database lists them all as 1 card.
I thought I could maybe differentiate them by their clocks as card notes suggest (they end at 115W though, what is the 130W card then?), but I don't know if it pulls the clocks from the database or somehow gets them from card's bios?
Also, I can use Render test and check Sensors, but I don't know if these Watts are supposed to be "Board Power Draw" or "GPU Chip Power Draw".

Advanced Tab -> NVIDIA BIOS?

Doesn't tell me much about which one that would be

No power limit listed?

 

[consider]

Oh.
Nope. I'ts just General and Memory Support there.

 

[W1zzard]

can you try starting gpuz while some kind of 3d load is running in the background so that the nvidia gpu is awake?

 

[consider]

Sure.
I tried starting it while running OCCT, 3060 GPU at 100%. The Advanced-Bios tab in GPU-Z looks still the same:

 

[W1zzard]

Oh ok.. I thought the BIOS tab was empty. Please upload the BIOS using GPU-Z and send me the link. I'll try to adjust my parser for the new power limit table format

Thanks for the upload! Does the attached build of GPU-Z read your power limits correctly?

As for nvidia, TDP means maximum total board power draw (at least for desktop, but I think for mobile as well). AMD Specifies chip power draw, and lets the rest of the board use whatever it wishes.

Try monitoring your GPU while running some intensive 3D app with Vsync off, like 3DMark Time Spy. Whatever you see as the maximum value (+- a few W) at "Board Power Draw" should be your card's TDP.

@ AusWolf:
Somehow I prefer 7 MB GPU-Z over 7000 MB 3DMark
I can do (and did) the same thing with GPU-Z's render test...but those wouldn't tell me what the card it capable of, only what it's currently set to.
If I start with knowing it should do more W, then it's showing me something isn't set right.
But if I start not knowing the W in the first place, which was the original idea, then I would never find out - when it's showing only 99.8W, I would just think that's the max value...

@ W1zzard:
It seems that it does! Awesome

The built-in GPU-Z stress tool doesn't stress modern gaming GPUs enough to use their full power, so you'll need something heavier. If you have any modern game, that will do too, just remember to completely disable Vsync and crank the graphics as high as possible. Also, look at the Sensors tab (not Advanced), GPU-Z tells you the card's current power consumption only there.

It maybe doesnt show because it a mobile gpu. I looked up my and it also doesnt show for a MSI 3070. I already know my ratings, 125w stock, 140w boosted.

The one you linked on this thread shows but the one linked on the techpowerup link doesnt show the power rating.
I'm able to see my power rating now. 125w, 140w with boost.

Oh but it did. I tried both TimeSpy and the GPU-Z tool, it had the same results - current max power went to 130.1W for TimeSpy and 130.7W for GPU-Z. I'm sure it would eventually be the same, if I tested it for more than a minute.
But that completely misses the original point, as I did not know my ratings in the first place - which I now can see in the new GPU-Z build
My first tests were actually showing 90W in one place and 100W in another, luckily I also did not know which one to look at. Having no reference, I would just assume that's the number I'm looking for, as they even make an 80W version.
Since now I knew it should be higher, I was able to find out the settings to set it to full power.

OK HOW do you upload an unverified BIOS version? I have been trying to figure this out multiple days. Every time I do it says "This version already exists - *LINK*" But it links me to a 90W Max-Q BIOS; I have a 115W Max-P card.

EDIT; I seem to have found the 'Unverified Vendor' option and now I see what appears to be my identical BIOS in unverified section. Mystery solved.

Cool. That's it, then. 130 W.
