MSI gives two figures with no explanation of which applies, so the value stored is the 115 W that ComputerBase read as the fixed power limit of this card and that equals NVIDIA's board power.7Reviewcomputerbase.de/artikel/grafikkarten/nvidia-geforce-rtx-4060-test.84658Read 23 October 2026MSI card details: maximum TDP 115 W, and the power limit cannot be raised. Telemetry reads about 115 W while a PCAT capture shows up to 131 W, so 115 W is the BIOS limit.
