My GPU a gtx 570 has started this bizarre effect that it goes to its p8 state (405MHz) after some time of the pc being on, and it mainly happens after some certain programs like chrome are closed, i also noticed that the gpu which used to be at idle at 50MHz, now it starts always at 732MHz and only goes down when it randomly goes to 405 and then only a restart will solve it even if i start  a 3d application, i have tested the usual suspects, power modes in windows and nvidia control panel, temps, reinstalled drivers (the problem started when i reinstalled a driver to include geforce experience bust since its fermi its the exact same driver version), even downloaded nvidia inspector to find what reason the gpu was reporting for the low clock and it said it was because the gpu was idle even if in a 3d application with it at 100%.

That normally happens if the driver detects a failed overclock.

It's not a race to the bottom.
