You might be CPU limited ... RTX 5000 GPUs like latest generation CPU with big single core turbo.

Interesting. Well the clock speed of the 3400G is at 3.7GHz. I have attached here the CPU/GPU numbers to confirm things.

Latest CPUs are boosting comfortably to 5+GHz frequencies.
3.7Ghz is slow by today's standards.
Now, I am not saying you must throw away your system and buy new one Just that compute demands are always increasing

A new build from scratch is already planned out.... for when memory prices at least halve!
But the Board Power Draw is OK fluctuating like that? I would rather the card uses more power to begin with, THEN I reduce the power (in Nvidia App). Then again the GPU clock speed looks fine in the 2700's, and the GPU Load isn't as bad.
I just wish I would stop getting p18245's so I can get a better idea!

Board power is dependent on the GPU load and utilisation. If CPU is unable to feed the GPU quick enough, GPU is underutilised, GPU power as well as board power drop

Plus this being an AM4 PCIe 3 gen mobo, all makes sense now, I just didn't anticipate it being that sensitive. At least I know it's actually working just fine regardless. Thanks everyone
