Title: TDP = Powerlimit in Afterburner? Post by: dbc23 on May 14, 2017, 03:43:46 PM Whenever I see discussion about lowering TDP, I assume this is equivalent to lowering "power limit" settings in afterburner or Trixx. Is that accurate, or is adjusting TDP a BIOS mod setting?

I have yet to actually get any of my AMD cards successfully flashed, but I think I just shaved a good amount off my electric usage from my nvidia rigs as is. Brought it down to 70% and haven't lost any hash that I can tell.
