power drop

Discussions tagged with 'power drop' on WindowsForum.com focus on brief, transient reductions in GPU power and clock speed during benchmark testing. In one example, a user with an RTX 2080 Ti and 9900K observed a 1ms clock dip from 1980MHz to 1570MHz accompanied by a power drop to 58% while running 3DMark Fire Strike. The GPU load remained steady at 96%, and the drop was not detected by GPU-Z, only by MSI Afterburner logging. These reports typically involve high-end hardware at stock settings and aim to identify whether such micro-drops indicate instability, power supply issues, or normal sensor noise. The tag covers troubleshooting transient power behavior in gaming or stress-test scenarios.
