2070 SUPER will not downclock

[NicholasNicholasNicholas]

I am running a 2070 super and it will not downclock. It never will go below 1605 on the core and the memory stays at 7750 always. I usually always have instant replay running but even when I turn it off (and the GPU usage goes to 0% in task manager and in MSI Afterburner), it maintains its clocks. I do have an overclock, +750 on the mem and +100 on the core, but I havent changed the curve so it should still downclock normally. I also have 2 monitors, a 165hz 1080p one and a 60hz 1080p one. 

is it possible to resolve this bug? and if not, will it reduce the longevity of the card?

Are your temps under control at idle? If yes then I don't think you need to worry about it but a DDU might fix it.

they are, always under 50 degrees with the fans under 10%

Then its perfectly safe. If you want you can DDU to try to fix it but I would not worry about it.

I see, then it should definitely downclock if nothing is using it. 

 

still kinda think it's the drivers but not sure.

thats unfortunate, thank you for trying

i do think that it is strange how AMD has a reputation for bugs. After switching from a 480, i have experienced a fair few more bugs on nvidia than I did before.

I do have fewer crashes in games like Sea of Thieves, though

Are you using nvidia broadcast / rtx voice?

I used to but lately I havent, it is running but because there are no outputs it uses 0% of my GPU

well there are strong indications latest couple of NV drivers have massive issues, not unheard of after a big release of next gen cards with new architecture, and the whole launch with weird capacitor issues and whatnot has been a mess... 

 

so if your using newest drivers I'd definitely recommend to rollback at least 4, 5 months back... 

 

 

Personally running on Jan/Feb drivers and *zero* issues...

As long as it's running it'll prevent the card from idling.
