serious changes need to be applied regarding video card data reporting

I've recently upgraded from a RTX4070 to a 4070Ti Super and wanted to see how the card performs and I was baffled and confused by the data PIDs

let's get something clear out of the gate, I work in tech support for a very very long time, not some random dude on a forum or YT "creator"

this is a GPU:

this is a video card:

why then I see data like GPU Rail Powers, GPU PCIe 12V Input Power, GPU 16pin HVPWR !??! what does that even mean !? a video card is not a GPU, a GPU is not a Video Card
I seriously do not understand what am I looking at, I have to twist my brains to interpret what the hell is written to what it should've been - WHY !?

please, seriously, take a look at GPU-Z and take notes

you cannot bring info like PCIe power when mentioning GPU, board power yes .. but not GPU; same with HVPWR

this is not the 1st time I wanted to write to you about this, but this time it got to me
