I have a Gigabyte Gaming OC 4090. I've always used MSI Afterburner for my previous GPUs for years, and that software always worked fine with them.
I have MSI Afterburner 4.6.5 installed. In options, for "Update Checking Properties" I have the beta box checked, and MSI Afterburner says I have the latest version.
I have Windows 10 and NVIDIA driver 555.99 installed. Windows 10 is up to date.
I also installed Gigabyte's GCC software (updated to latest), and have my GPU updated to the latest firmware and BIOS version via GCC.
GCC and MSI Afterburner both have a power limit % and temperature limit option. I've tried combinations of linking and unlinking these. Also combinations having only one or the other programming running, or both together.
Nothing makes a difference. I tried 90% the power limit and 80% the power limit. My GPU benchmark scores (Heaven and Shadow of the Tomb Raider) are the same. I also have a Kill-A-Watt meter, which the PC is connected to the AC outlet. I watch it as the benchmarks occur, and the PC's power draw is the same as with 100% power limit.
I don't know what I'm missing here?? What else should I check?
