I'm just using MSI Afterburner's logging to check on frametiming in Nioh 2, and in one of the logs, I've noticed that the No Load Limit and Voltage Limit graphs have changed, which they never do.
usually the Voltage Limit is a static "0" and the No Load Limit is a static "1"
I went into my Skills menu in the game (which does cause really weird frametiming spikes and is weirdly optimized in general), and when I checked the graph a few minutes later, I found that the Voltage Limit had shot to "1" and the No Load Limit had dropped to "0" around that time. when the V. Limit changed to 1, and the NL Limit dropped to 0, the GPU Usage was also at 7% and the Memory Clock had shot to 7000mhz from 810mhz. the regular Core Clock had also spiked up to 1950mhz which as far as I've been able to see, is the 'max' that my Gigabyte RTX 3070 Eagle can reach
at the same time, my GPU Voltage went up from 0.700-0.950v to 1.075v. voltage doesn't usually go above 1v outside very scarce spikes, so this isn't "natural" behavior, but it did also happen at the EXACT same time as everything else I've talked about
is this something to worry about? it was a brief spike, everything went back to normal, but I can't seem to replicate it, and due to my lack of knowledge on the 0 Voltage Limit and 1 No Load Limit values, I'm not sure if I should be worried about my GPU or not? I can see it being natural, but my GPU Usage was really low at the time...idk if that matters, since the Voltage and Clocks were really high for that brief spike, but it's got me confused. any insight would be appreciated
I also logged Heaven Benchmark just to see if it would raise the V. Limit to 1 and lower the No Load Limit to 0, which it did. I then changed the settings on Heaven back to normal, and I think it only does this when I initially click "Benchmark"; although the second time I clicked it after lowering the settings, only the No Load Limit changed (down to 0, before going back to 1)
