msi afterburner How do MSI Afterburner profiles work?

[Alvin853]

I'm trying to undervolt my RTX 3070Ti, following all the common guides and such, but Afterburner is just giving me issues. I have created a profile with a V/F curve that gives me a solid undervolt and is perfectly stable, but only when I load and apply the profile while the card is hot. If I load and apply the exact same profile, while the card is cold, the curve is completely different and when I start a game, I'm getting crashes within a couple minutes because the frequency is unstable. Here are the two curves, red is loaded and applied when GPU is hot, blue when it's cold:

Is there any setting to make Afterburner stop doing this? I don't want to have to start a game first, then alt-tab and apply my profile. If I load a saved profile, I expect to get the same result every time. Is this a bug in Afterburner, or in the NVidia driver? Intended behavior?

Maybe disgard the curve and set a fixed OC

How do I undervolt with a fixed OC? I'm not trying to gain performance, I just want to run my GPU with less power.

The best way to run your GPU with less power is to buy a GPU with lower TDP, if you use afterbunner, it means you want OC. But now you want to run GPU with less power, maybe the software is meaningless for you.
