I noticed my GPU is idling at 50C, so i had a look into it then i noticed when i open and close google chrome my clock go upto none turbo 3d speeds.

Any idea what this would happen

Edit: its also the same with microsoft edge
 
it turns out power management mode in the NV control panel was set to max performance, now may card idles at 27c.

Its normal for them to utilise 3d clocks although it shouldnt be constantly activated.

50C is very high for idle GPU temps at this time of the year even in 3d clock mode, e.g. I can play GTA5 and its only in the 40s.

your 1070 runs GTA v at 40c? is that at 720p?
Max setting 1440 my 1060 its 70+, my 290x hits 90c lol
