GPU acting wierd

[kekerino]

Hey guys.

 

My GPU has acting wierd. As of late, my GPU hasn't throttled down the Mhz likem usual.

 

It usually throttles down to about 100Mhz and 30 degrees, but it's been staying at 800Mhz, and therfore it stays at about 41 degrees idle.

 

What do?

Maybe GPU boost is broken?

Okay, I'm assuming you've used more than one piece of software to check your GPU's stats. Have you also made sure to be running all the latest drivers (I believe latest version is 361.43), and have you recently installed anything? As sometimes programs can cause this.

 

(Also remember to follow your topics!)

Check what programs you have opened.

For instance if I open my PSU monitoring program (Corsair Link) then it will stop my GPU from throttling. Other programs can also cause this.

is the GPU usage high whilst on the desktop? Could be a bitcoin mining virus

Maybe, the only antivirus i have is windows defender and Malwarebytes. What would you reccomend?

I  do remeber installing some things but not anything that could interfere. I have also been tinkering with the 0db mod (look it up in the forum) And my drivers are always up to date,

Some programs may use your GPU without your knowledge. But what is your GPU useage and  does it resort to that core clock after immediately starting windows?

It's at about 1%

Then your not being mined or anything else.

 

Out of curiosity can you remove all non-essential start up programs and after restarting check your core clock again? 

If this doesn't work do you have an overclock on it? If so try removing it, and  the 0db mod and if that fails completely re-install your drivers. If this fails I reckon some program you have installed is being a royal pain in the behind for you so you might need to do some testing to see if any one program is causing this (By forcing some programs to close).

I completely reinstalled drivers. Didn't work. I'll try the diffrent programs.

I only have Realtek drivers,Java,Corsair utility engine,Ccleaner,Nvidiabackend as startup programs, so it can't be anything there.

*PROBLEM FOUND AND SOLVED*

 

it would seem that the problem is my second monitor (XL2411Z) that is causing the Mhz throttle. 

 

It is easily solved by turning down refresh rate from 144 to 120
