Can someone help tell me how much wattage my rx 570 is using? HWinfo screenshot

Can someone help tell me how much wattage my rx 570 is using? I'm confused by HWinfo's "GPU Core Power" and "GPU Chip Power" do I combine these values for my wattage per card?


Also in my miner, why does it keep saying I'm constantly getting new jobs? Is that normal?

The GPU core power shown + 40-50 W for the PCI-E slot power on the riser (not shown) is your total power. Your miner gets new work from the pool and you send the completed work back as shares. The lower difficulty the shares, the more frequently your miner completes the work and sends the shares back to the pool. A higher difficulty share takes longer to complete, but is worth more than a lower difficulty share e.g. At diff 4000 shares are worth twice as much as diff 2000 shares.

Thank you so much for responding.  So based on what you said, GPU Core + 40-50 I'm pulling about 120-130 watts when that screenshot was taken? Is it just me or does that seem kind of low for dual mining on a rx 570? What about the other sections with watts displayed? 


Like "GPU Chip Power"


Or in GPU-Z's "GP only power draw", "VDDC Power draw", "VDCI Power draw"?  Do I just ignore these?  And do my VDCC Power draw, VDCI power draw seem high?  I was comparing them with someone else's setup with the same cards as me (msi armor) and he has stats like these:


1100core 2005mem 837v 1425 Straps 28.7xxmhs
GpuZ readings:
GPU Only power draw: 71.3
VDDC Power draw: 32.8
VDDCI Power draw: 12.4

mine seem incredibly high in comparison

The higher GPU power in GPU-Z is the right value, which is the same as the HwInfo GPU chip power + ~50 W for the riser. For a RX 570 without an undervolt, ~150-160 W is about right. You can also lower the power consumption by reducing the power limit to ~-15%, if it's stable.

Oh


I was under the impression that I did undervolt though, at least with overdriveNtool(?)  https://i.imgur.com/hESseDK.png


Or did I not do that?


I pretty much followed this guide https://mining.help/ to do that and I thought I was undervolting, I guess I was not then?

OverDriveNtool will undervolt and that is a good guide to follow but it doesn't mention the power limit. You also can try setting the power target % in OverDriveNtool to 85-90, which should reduce power consumption a bit. The power usage when dual mining also depends on the algorithm and dual mining intensity -dcri setting in Claymore.

I get this error: Failed to set Power parameters (ErrorCode: -1) https://i.imgur.com/wt5aWT9.png everytime i try to set the power target % to 85-90
