Gtx 1080 Xtreme boost clock stuck at low speeds after PC has been idle few days.

[Joohny23]

Get weird issue with my Gigabyte 1080 Xtreme. Happened just once, but i dont know why.
I left idle my pc for i think 4 days. When i back i run some application and core clock stuck on 1275mhz instead of 1990mhz like always. Memory clock was not affected. Gpuz reports PWR limit at 32%. Reboot pc fixes.

Any experience this issue? Card is OC by factory only.

I am sure i have good psu. Corsair 750 W

All sleep options are turned OFF. All power management options in Windows set to Balanced ( default ). In on nvidia is adaptive ( default ).

There are some peoples experiencing the same issue on geforce forum.

Screen:

Beside that, card is stable on full load,no crashes,no freezes.


Is this something with my card? : (((

Maybe an automatic driver update during the uptime?

no this not for sure

And normally the event log will show the drive crash report which in my case it doesn't show.

144hz monitor? If it is knock it down to 120hz. It fixed mine.
The new windows 10 update has fixed mine and I can run 144hz again.

Nop 60 hz 1920x1080. It stuck after long idling i dont know why. Restart pc fixed this.
But i dont know why it get stucked to 1278mhz. Memory clock was not affected.

Maybe worth seeing if there is a bios update for the card?

Had this happen a couple of times with my 980Ti after a driver crash when overclocking. It seems to be some sort of safe mode the driver goes into when it detects a problem.

Yes but i dont had driver crash . I check event logs, 0 driver crash during this.
I restart pc and clocks was fine. Happened once, i cant reproduce this.
Weird isnt?

Also card is stable during full load, no crashes, all ok. It just stuck on 1278mhz after long period of idle.

Update. Left pc for 3 days in idle. Throttled occured,screen:

Core: 1163mhz from 1990mhz

memory:1152mhz from 1251mhz



No driver crash in logs.

GPUZ: PWR LIMIT



And yes i am sure its not my mobo,because on 980 Ti never happened this. So definitely its not my PSU issue or mobo issue.
Card i think is ok because many peoples from GF forum and other forums with GTX 1080/1070 suffer from this issue, so my guess its the drivers.

What is your opinion?

I would guess it's some kind of power saving feature that's bugged. Could be windows/the drivers.
