I may be wrong, but I thought I read that these FTW3 cards had a higher max power slider setting of 130%. 
Mine I only seem to be able to push to 124%

Does anyone know if this is correct? Or do I have something screwy going on?
 
Thanks!

    124-ish % of 300-ish watts is 373-ish watts.
     
    That's greater than 130-ish % of 260-ish watts; which equals 338-ish watts.
     
    Percent power means nothing if you don't first take the baseline watts into consideration.
     
    Why "ish"?  Well, because it is never a perfect measurement and is constantly jumping up and down as load changes.

    Got ya. So it's 124% based on a factory modified power rating.
    That's what I thought, just wanted to make sure.
     
    Thank you!
