1080 Ti High Idle Clock/mV

[Arkhen]

I'm trying to figure out why my Asus Strix 1080 Ti is running at ~1341mhz and ~756mv constantly in idle. It never clocks lower. While I'm not worried about temps, I'm not interested wasting all this power for no apparent reason.

 

I've tried changing the Global Settings in the Nvidia Driver (v 471.41) to: Power management mode - Adaptive and Optimal Power. Changing to either option yielded no change/improvement to the high idle clocks.

I've tried enabling Display GPU Activity Icon in notification area and closing all applications controlled by the GPU. Same issue.

Windows' Power Options are set to Balanced

 

I run 2x 1920x1080 24" monitors on the card: VG248QE @144hz and BenQ XL2410T @120hz.

This is on Windows 10 x64 19043.1110

Get nvidia inspector and setup the multi monitor power settings. Should save you that couple cents a year.

Changed the 144hz monitor to 120hz and now I'm down to 139mhz at 650mv. gg ty

Was about to tell you that running multiple high refresh rate monitors can cause this, but you seem to have figured that out.
