MSI Afterburner--What Do Power Limit and Graphics Processor Type Settings Do?

There is a slider in MSI Afterburner that I don't remember seeing when I did my overclocks a couple of years ago... under "Power control properties", there is a "Power limit" setting, with a slider from -20% to +20%. As of now, it is defaulting to +0%.

There is also a setting for "Graphics processor type" with a drop-down menu. It defaults at 1175 mV, but there are also settings for 1112mV, 1050mV, and 1025mV.

Should either of these be changed? If so, what do they do?

I dont know what sliders your talking about mine looks like this, what version of afterburner do you have?
If i was you I would leave them untouched and do your overclock, if your graphics card crashes and reverts back to default on different overclocks that should be stable then i would look at changing those two settings if it seems they are causing it to crash.
 
I'm using the 2.2.0 Beta 14... this is in the settings screen.

And I know that "Unlock Voltage Control" isn't checked... it will be once I figure out what this stuff does.

EDIT--Does anyone know how to get that picture to be larger? I've resized it multiple times.

I managed to find out... the power limit is similar to the control in CCC, so it controls the envelope for maximum wattage. If you're overclocking and you have a decent power supply, it should be at 20%.

The other one has to do with ASIC quality... it's hard to explain, so you may want to Google it.
