Recently upgraded from a 1070 to a 1080ti. Previously, when my 1070 was at idle, it would drop the clock down to something like 200mhz. The 1080ti I have is just sitting at its base clock(1556mhz) instead of ramping down like the other gpu. Temps are fine as its a Hybrid but I'm more concerned about power draw as I leave my PC running when at work or sleeping. The model is an EVGA 1080ti SC2 Hybrid, using EVGA's XOC to control it and am running driver 391.35.

This might not be the solution, but my EVGA 1070ti SC Black never dropped clocks during idle when I was using Precision XOC, and the software was buggy anyway. When I uninstalled it and substituted it with MSI Afterburner, the clocks drop to 137Mhz from the base 1607Mhz, and the boost is still the same with the full 1911Mhz for me, which I think is a PSU limitation. 

 

Have you tried afterburner yet?

I actually prefer the Afterburner software but Ive heard in the past that it doesnt recognize both fans. Its what I was using with the 1070, I am very familiar with afterburner.

Fixed. Max performance in the Nvidia control panel was on, turned it to "adaptive" and it replicated the previous card.

After installed a new card, those setting default. Precisionx would never cause that, not if everything is running as intended.
