As Sajin has stated in the past:

"vRel = Reliability. Indicating perf is limited by reliability voltage.
VOp = Operating. Indicating perf is limited by max operating voltage.
Pwr = Power. Indicating perf is limited by total power limit.
Thrm = Thermal. Indicating perf is limited by temperature limit.
Util = Utilization. Indicating perf is limited by GPU utilization."
 
It's likely that power was prioritized and not temp.

Curious, how old is version 0.8.8 of GPU-Z?

1 year, 2 months, 1 week, 2 days or 435 days

Sorry, I'm a bit busy driving around, I did go to their site an look at version history that only vent as far back as 1.2.0.

My point was, maybe the op should update?

Then that is what you should have recommend to the OP, being helpful is what it is about. 

But temp is 83C. Default temp limit 82. So why gpuz show green PWR instead of purple THRM?

The driver can prioritize power or temperature. It is highly likely that both are at the limit, but since power is being prioritized, temp was allowed to slightly exceed its limit without affecting the gpu boost in any additional way since it was already being limited by the power limit slightly earlier. I believe that whichever parameter first affected gpu boost is the parameter which will continue to display as being the perfcap reason, until another parameter exceeds to such a point that gpu boost is further decreased. Since the temp limit didn't decrease gpu boost by any additional amount, the power limit continues to display since it was the parameter which reached its limit first.

But, to be sure, please update your ancient version of GPU-Z and then test again.

Why did you create another topic with the same basic question? You already got answers. This is becoming pointless and spammy.

Here is an example. Let's pretend that your video card boosts to 2000 MHz normally. Let's pretend that you reach a power threshold of 200 watts which makes it need to decrease boost from 2000 MHz to 1800 MHz. Let's then say that you reach 90c core temperature which makes it need to decrease boost from 2000 MHz to 1900 MHz. Since the card is already at 1800 MHz due to the power limit, the temperature limit has no effect, even though it does exist and has been reached. The card already reached an earlier limit which is less than or equal to the new limit. Therefore, the earier limit is still displayed until a new limit in the future causes a more agressive decrease in performance.

This question was asked and answered on the YouTube.
Hello. I have an question. You oc card here Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Wildlands TEST GTX 1080 TI. ?  You raised temperature limit or its all stock? :) Auto,default or you change something tweak? :) Please answer, Thank you

Game does well on my rig. Hitting 100 fps easily at 1080p max settings.

FPS ? It is all about Posts Per Hour PPH.

Cool GTX
