Summary

  • New hardware-tests entry: full power-cap sweep for LTX-2.3 two-stage T2V on RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell (Tower2 GPU0). 31 caps × 3 runs = 93 generations from 600W down to 300W in 10W steps, identical "founder gets an idea at sunrise" booth prompt across every gen.
  • Counterpart to vllm-power-sweep-2026-04-29/ — same hardware, fundamentally different workload behavior. Diffusion's cap binds (peak GPU draw within 1-2W of every cap); LLM single-stream plateaus at ~510W regardless of cap.
  • Headline: 500→600W buys +11.0% throughput on this workflow; V/f knee sits at 360-400W; below 360W each 10W removed costs ~3% per-gen.

Test plan

  • All 93 cells completed without error
  • GPU0 cap restored to 500W operating point on exit
  • Combined CSV verified (94 rows: 1 header + 93 data)
  • Findings tables generated from CSV via render-table.mjs (reproducible)
  • Audit notes flag the phase-A / phase-B cold-start asymmetry at 390W r1 (small, ~0.2s)
  • No thermal throttling (peak temp 83°C across full sweep, far below Tccd threshold)

Tower2 RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell GPU0, ComfyUI two-stage T2V workflow
(640x352 / 4-step → upsampler → 1280x704 / 8-step), 121-frame 5s clip,
identical "founder gets an idea at sunrise" booth prompt across all 93
generations. Power cap swept 600W → 300W in 10W steps via nvidia-smi -pl.

Headline: cap genuinely binds for diffusion (peak draw within 1-2W of
every cap tested), unlike LLM single-stream which plateaus at ~510W on
the same hardware. Going 500W → 600W buys +11.0% throughput (4.54s saved
on a 41.35s gen). The V/f knee sits around 360-400W; below that, each
10W removed costs ~3% per-gen time.

Contains: README, full findings.md with per-cap table + slope analysis +
LLM cross-comparison + booth-day operating-point recommendation, raw
combined CSV (94 rows), per-phase CSVs, sweep harness source, render-
table renderer, and the full stdout from both phase runs.
