Normalised TDP on GPU over 100%?

Trying to figure out if what im displaying is normal its strange behavior just trying to get an idea on whats going on. Its not like the typical % overshoot issue.

My card is a gigabyte RTX 3080 Vision OC, when playing im seeing spikes on the TDP normalized in hwinfo and the msi afterburner overlay of around 115%. The normal TDP power is saying 93% which would make sense as its hitting 340W and its a 370W card.

My question is why am I seeing spikes of power that arent actually happening as if my cards running 100% power it would be at 370W and Afterburner and HWINFO are reporting 340W at a “normalised TDP” of 111%. Unsure if i should just ignore the normalised figure as its not going above its Wattage?

Is this normal behavior?

I dunno if it is directly related to your issue, but please be aware that the MSI Afterburner Overlay is known to cause issues with World of Warcraft. Especially performance issues.

I have the same issue since start of October initially i blamed the nvidia driver then went back the one before , still same issue the video card 3070 is around 98% usage at 65 degrees .

And its only in wow normally it was ~50% usage . Might be after i preloaded the new patch .
