The default is 100% = ~265 Watt

Then NVIDIA will say to board partners, you can have an allowance to ~130% = 345 Watt (if the specific design they submitted can cope with that).

MSI TRIO has 110% left for overclocking. That means at defaults the already apply some extra on that power limiter, 120% = 318 Watts. We verified that in the power consumption measurements at 315 Watts.

Herein is your answer to be found.

So guys buildzoid has done the PCB analysis of this GPU:

1. This one is using UP 9512 phase controller which supports up to 8 phases only and founder edition is is using MP2888 drMOS phase controller which supports up to 10 phases. Cost cutting by MSI ?

2. This GPU also don't have the power balancing circuitry like in the founders edition. I don't know will it effect the longevity and stability of this card but why MSI is cutting down on things like these.

Hi Hilbert, great review of that awesome card, I've got one question though. When you ran the Firestike benchmark, what was stated under 'Clock'? I believe mine's supposed to be 1775MHz (1350MHz) but Firestrike showed it as 1995MHz (1350MHz), is this 3DMark not showing the right boost speed?
