Title: The maximum GPU TGP listed on Nvidia control panel isn't always telling the truth

This is why websites like yours are vital for consumer decisions.
Close inspections of product specs so people won't get deceived when buying something.
So, uhh, thank you for your work.

Does GPU-Z measure voltage and current simultaneously? If not then it's quite possible to get errors like this. The only true measure is to get test equipment on and into those voltage rails.
