So there was something I notice about this card last night, so I decided to download FurMark for shits and giggles.
Now something weird I noticed between no msaa and 8 x msaa
With 8x msaa on the core clock would jump up to 2030~ mhz and TDP would spike at about 80%, and I am like cool, pic for reference
Now something weird, i would turn MSAA to off....you would think it would require less power because of less gpu intensity right? Well think again (i know the benchmark is suppose to push it regardless but you know what i mean) but then the card would jump up to 100+ tdp ( I do have TDP set about ten percent from norm) with a LOWER clock, pic for reference.
It would also consume more power from PSU
I believe this is kind of strange.......I have done some web searches but have not found anything, figured I would come to this site, been coming here off and on for about 15 years now, forgot my old account password and such, great site and forum.
I had been out of the PC scene for about the same amount of time, pretty much learning everything all over again lol.
Thanks in advance and thought I would share because it has peaked my interest a little. Ask me anything if you need more info.
