LiquidReactor,
Underclock your card and convince yourself the problem is plugged into a PCIe x16 slot.

So, this program is not a power virus since it is a benchmark/stresstest?
Does it do everything a power virus does?

Looks like by the definition of the word it's not a power virus since the app is not malicious and is user controlled. But sure, it acts like one.

TBH, I did not know before this thread the term "power virus" refers to a malicious app. I've encountered the term to be used for unusually higher power draw inducing apps in the past...
