    Question GPU downclocks at 100% utilization

    My temps are far from the thermal limit (71C, while the limit is 87C). The GPU is a Laptop RTX 3080, capped at 100W TDP. I was wondering whether or not it's normal for clocks to be lower when doing demanding things. I didn't know if they were supposed to always stay at their max, or if putting...
