From what I read the low idle clocks were in the 10-20MHz range and it's now back to the normal 300MHz range, Neither of which would really do anything for power use.
It was 22hz and now it's back to 180. It did marginely affect w usage, by about 10w. It does add up over time though and my point was more what was the negative issue from it being lower.
AMD had an issue with idle clocks being too low years ago and would cause freezes, guess its a bit like a plane going too slow and going into a stall.
Had a couple of black screens last couple of days so installed latest drivers last night, let’s see if it’s any better. Happens after like 2-3 hours of gaming so not massively annoying but still can’t believe it doesn’t seem to be fully sorted. Unless it’s my overclock playing up, which would fall over much sooner than 2-3 hours usually. Drivers were the ones before most recent so not that out of date…

yes i knew this was an error, saved the effort by a whisker - will be rocking 572.83 in the meanwhile, but i think there's going to a big upgrade down the line that unlocks a ludicrous amount of perf on the rtx 50 series
I've had none up until last night... I turned monitor off, came back to Windows after watching a Movie and it said no display ( black screen ).
These latest drivers have been bloody awful
Yeah agreed. I even started to have problems with the newer drivers on my old 3080 after basically having no problems with it at all for the past 2 years.
With my 5090, had no issues with 572.83 personally until the last couple of days. Though that said, Indiana Jones did crash on the first start up but was fine thereafter... There are so many games I can now play properly with my new card, I haven't really sat down and played anything for any extended period of time until recently so issue was probably always been there. Can't really swap my second monitor to HDMI either as it's then annoying when I want to connect PC to the TV via HDMI. Nvidia probably got a farm of 5090s building drivers with AI nowadays as they have been trash.

I went back to the CUDA's I was using before... Should've just stayed on them! I think the latest drivers need a lot more maturing

I think I must be lucky as I have generally had zero issues with drivers from either Nvidia or AMD.
Same but then we’re in the goated club.
It's funny alright.....now because I've just been putting a new system through is paces, I've not being full on in any one title for extended time. 20-30mins here and there, hour at a time maybe on some other things.
Have not had one issue at all with the previous or current release - now I don't doubt things like the sleep/temp bug are real (days of having the PC sleeping are long gone from my usual use) - but in general, the drivers have been as solid as drivers usually are. Probably just lucky, but then again, there's a big variety of titles being tried out, so it makes some of the coverage, more so the shouty YouTube variety, seem a bit disconnected
Is there a game that has a consistent, reported issue that could be tried out ?

You're just lucky. The list of open issues on the bi-monthly driver updates are proof enough.
