I usually have my FPS limited to 33fps (more recently at 40fps with last Nvidia driver) in the Nvidia control panel and have Vsync set to fast in there also. I keep a close eye on my CPU & GPU performance (using open hardware monitor software) after trying a bit of tweaking or after driver updates etc…

Like many suggestions I’ve seen in posts elsewhere on this forum I’ve always had it set to Prefer maximum performance. Judging from Reddit it doesn't seem like they have much luck with any solutions aside from switching boards.I’ve just been experimenting with the Power managment mode in the Nvidia control panel.īear with me on this one, it’s a lengthy example but I’d welcome any thoughts on this, and it may be of help to some of you. I think you are right, there are certain motherboard models (both AMD and Intel) that seem to have abnormally common problems with crashing Ada at Optimal power. I'm at about 10W on two screens, and something like 5-7W on one screen, and Optimal power/Max perf makes no difference.

In any case, if 30W is not bad enough to interfere with fan stop, is it something you could live with? imo it's not horrible, though definitely high for a single 1440p monitor. High mem clock is normal for Max perf or 3D load and accounts for most of the 30W of Max perf idle.

DDU has not exactly been impressive in recent years, maybe drivers have gotten too complicated.Īre you sure about core clock? 2500MHz core clock would not be that low in board power.

Going 3070 Ti > 7900XT I had to clean install to solve some issues, and going 7900XT > 4070 Ti I did clean install to save the trouble. With "Prefer Max Perf" at idle my GPU has: Volt 0.9, Utilization 0%, Pwr 32W, Mem Clock11201 Mhz, GPU Clock 2505 Mhz, Fan Speed 0 or 1029 rpm. If that not helps, get us back and we will go with another steps good luck If you are not using all nVidia bundled features, I strongly recommend NVCleanstall for installing drivers (or components) of your liking. installed nVidia GPU drivers and rebooted
#Nvidia 9500 power management mode update#
booted normally into OS and still without Internet connection (so the Windows update will not install its own GPU drivers)


cleaned nVidia drivers with Display Driver Uninstaller rebooted and booted Windows 10 OS into safe mode (press and hold left Shift button and restart your PC holding shift) downloaded the latest nVidia drivers from the nVidia site and after download, DISCONNECT PC from the Internet (switch off WiFi or pull out LAN cable) downloaded DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) I had zero-fans issue with mine RTX 4080 so I did next steps and it helped: And which messages do you get in Event Viewer logs? If it is event ID 41 Kernel-Power, it could be PSU also in equation.īut first and easies step, please try reinstalling the drivers the right way
