Bought a 7900 XTX, works great. I know there are some bugs with the 100W power draw just at idle with the vram being maxed out. I have 2 1080p monitors and 1 1440p

1440p - OMEN 27i IPS 165Hz (display port)
1080p - Odyssey G40B 240Hz (display port)
Acer S271HL 75Hz (hdmi)

I have heard these issues being on 4k only, or having it fixed with Freesync or such. I have used DDU and have the latest drivers, I have tried 60hz on all monitors, freesync enabled, and yet nothing. Still getting 100W and 50-65 temp while idle. Anyone have any suggestions or ideas?

what do you use 3 monitors for try removing just the hdmi monitor and set the 1080p oddsey to 165hz see if issue persists
