Windows 10 Sleep issue

hey guys,

I went out for half an hour and put my PC to sleep, which works great and is fine when I come back and put it back into action.

But one thing I noticed in AfterBurner that my GPU wattage went up during this period??

Is that supposed to work like that? I thought during sleep everything dials down until "woken" again?

I have included a grab of the Wattage, and highlighted in yellow the Wattage during the sleep cycle.

If I leave my PC on sleep, and the card is working as it is when sleeping, will this cause any damage or such over time?

Surely if it was in sleep, then afterburner would stop running too, and you wouldn't be recording any data like that ... implying your not actually sleeping your PC ?

thats a good point, I really am bemused at what is going on here? I mean it works great now, just this weird issue..

might just start shutting down if im going to me AFK for a bit, I mean it does no harm, and doesnt take long to boot back up from scratch.
