TDP = Powerlimit in Afterburner?

[dbc23]

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've never heard about tdp when it co.es to GPU mining but lowering power limits from afterburner is something often used among miners. Although nor nearly as stable and effecient as potential BIOS settings.

yeah power limit is the same as tdp for nvidia, just play with the slide bar no need to adjust anythign in the bios, not like amd where you need to mod the bios, i also find that 80% do it most of the time, 100% is useless, you only waste energy for almost no gain

It is a Nvidia option,  60 to 80 % depends on card.

It is stable and works fine.

Bios and flash is not needed with Nvidia.

Excellent, thanks everyone.  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.
