GPUZ Power Draw Accuracy

[Ander12391]

Kind of curious about how accurate GPUZ's reading is and I apologize if this is the wrong sub forum. However, I've been benchmarking my new MSI RTX 4080 Gaming Trio and I have noticed that when running Time Spy sometimes my max power draw on my card will be over the rated TDP of my stock 4080. Granted from what I have read the TDP or TGP should be 320watts and I have been seeing upwards of 329watts. Which isn't that big of a difference but with all these 12VHPWR melting issues, I've been keeping an eye on my GPU's temps and etc.

On NVIDIA it's within a few percent, because they actually put a sensor chip on the card that measures all current and voltage flowing through the card.

Going slightly over the power limit for a split second is normal, the power limiting circuitry needs a moment to react

Thank you for the reply.
