The power limit should not be triggered over 200W below the actual power limit

Look at that beautiful painting of a PerfCap reason chart. lol
 
It does hit PWR as the reason with only 317W of draw during TWO of the tests in the full suite indeed, and as you can see in the Afterburner window, this is at STOCK with the power limit slider maxed.  Most odd.
 
But, I have also seen Power Limit pop up in the Afterburner overlay in games at as low as 430W draw sometimes, but it'll also keep going up, and doesn't really throttle performance from what I've seen, as much as the 3090 FTW3 Hybrid did... that thing would tank either voltage, clocks, or both, as soon as Power Limit was hit for more than a second or so.
 
I'll re-run specifically the one you referenced & post the result shortly.
 
Edit: I don't use AIDA64 that often, how do I run just the Precision one by itself?... wait, I think I got it.

How do I check which place the card was made?  I know it involves the serial but which means which?
 
Post inception incoming:
 

 
Looks like I'm matchin' ya on that one.
 
And as for TimeSpy, I've seen that throttling one very GPU I've had from this generation, in clock speed reductions, regardless of overclock, on the 3080 FTW3 Ultra, 3090 FTW3 Hybrid & I'm pretty sure it occurs on the Kingpin as well, despite not actually being anywhere near the full "power limit".  So it's definitely not just a Kingpin thing, at least not in the aspect of the TimeSpy behavior.

Here's my KPE with everything at stock 520W BIOS. There's a PWR limit when running single precision flops. Mine also made in Taiwan. Could this be an issue related to AIDA test? I don't have this PWR limit when running Port Royal at 1.025v 518W

MSVDD has its own individual power limit measured by one of the very tiny 5mOH shunts....... the Aida single precision benchmark is extremely cache heavy (i.e it pulls heavy power from msvdd rail), very few alus are being used on the top 2/3 of the chip (SMs) but all l3 cache on bottom 3rd is fully saturated, so you run into msvdd power limit at a very low overall board power draw.
 
Solution is either XOC bios which hugely increases nvddd/msvdd power limits, or shunting the correct tiny 5MO resister. Efforts are underway to identify exactly what all 3 of the tiny resistors correspond to. 
 
But at the end of the day its looking like completely removing power limits in all situations is gonna be either XOC bios or stacking/replacing 9-10 resistors. Luckily it looks like NV driver doesn't do any throttling from VRM power stage current measurement, so its just shunt resistors.

Thanks, so yours is illustrating the same behavior in AIDA64 GPGPU.  One way to determine if it's a BIOS-related issue is for someone with the XOC BIOS to run the benchmark as well, which should not be power limited.  Either that or someone with a non-EVGA BIOS on their card. 
 
Is that Port Royal run with some of the dip switches activated?  Perhaps this issue may have nothing to do with NVVDD and MSVVDD, which is why some people have been able to increase those with dip switches or Classified without triggering the power limit (unless they hit 520W of course).  There must be something else resulting in the power limit being triggered at values much lower than 520W.  I only used AIDA as an extreme example.  There are plenty of games where I'm getting power limit throttling much lower than 520W, such as Horizon Zero Dawn and Shadow of the Tomb Raider at 4K.

That Port Royal run was with classified tool settings. I use the dipswitches only for gaming to boost internal clocks a little bit and match requested clocks. I've been running Time Spy with stock settings, offset OC, OC with dipswitches and all of them triggered a PWR limit on the second graphics test with power draw being around 460W-470W. I'm not sure what can cause a PWR limit there. I also tried RTX Quake 2 and it would pull 500W+ no issue. 
Here's a Time Spy run with classified tool 520W 1.018v 2175MHz no PWR limit.
 
 
EDIT:
I've been doing more testing with just regular offset OC all slider max with the 520W BIOS. RTX Quake 2 seems to hit a PWR limit at 500W and Time Spy at 470W. Then, I tried using both dipswitches on for NVVDD and MSVVDD and now RTX Quake 2 hit a limit at 520W (524W peak recorded) and Time Spy 510W. I assume this PWR limit is related to internal clocks not being able to get enough voltage to keep them stable so GPU-Z records it as PWR Limit (This may also apply to 3090 FTW3 cards with 500W BIOS issue). This could be the reason why I don't get PWR limit until 520W when using classified tool because I supply enough NVVDD/MSSVVD voltage to keep internal clocks stable.

I notice a couple people saying they have slider issues. Did anyone find the fix to this? My OC BIOS shows the correct 480w and LN2 at 520w but regardless of which I'm on, slider is stuck at 105.

What version of Afterburner are you using?  Never encountered this as an issue on 4.6.3 Beta 5.
