Hello dear forum members!

Recently upgraded from a 3060 ti to a 3080 FE. My 3060 ti consumed 50 W while idle which seemed a reasonable amount due to my 3 monitors setup, all of them being 1080p, 2x60 hz and 1x 390hz. But now this 3080 FE consumes between 107-108 W, where 107 W is the minimum... I've found an article on NVIDIA's site https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforc...ds/5/515614/rtx-3080-100w-idle-power/3339910/ and tried all of these steps but nothing changed. Also I don't have RTX voice / Nvidia Broadcast or whatever that thing is, I've read that can cause it. Having Windows Energy Saving option on balanced and NVIDIA's on normal. Even if I turn off 2 monitors and switch the 390 hz to 60 hz it still consumes around 103 W. One thing i've noticed that its always clocks at 1710mhz, it is the minimum, maximum, actual and avarage. Anyone has a solution for this pleasee?

Thanks in advance!

Okay somehow managed to fix it, probably the DDU thing and then installed the Geforce Experience and the new driver solved it, now it clocks down to 210 in idle, making the card go around 35W.
