I was playing a game earlier today and the power button on my pc was pressed when I booted back in, I noticed my gpu memory clock was 200mhz lower than it used to be I have a 3060 ti so it went from 7000mhz to 6800mhz.
This also affects my overclock its a +920 mhz oc which now results in a final speed of 7720mhz instead of 7920mhz.
I already Used ddu and reinstalled my drivers as well as made sure prefer maximum performance was on in NVidia control panel.

Do you have Discord running? I literally had the same issue this morning on my 3060. Took similar steps and nothing changed. I then caught the frequency drop 200Mhz as Discord launched. As soon as I closed it fully (not minimized to the task bar) clocks returned to normal. I disabled hardware acceleration and the overlay in Discord to no avail. For the time being I'm not using it on my gaming rig, and I filed a bug report with Discord.

Hope this helps.

Lmao I closed discord and immediately gained 200mhz thats so weird.
Ikr? It's never done that before to me and I've been using it for years. Kinda sucks as I use it for voice chat but whatever for now I guess. Glad it worked for you though, sometimes these things can be hard to track down. Let's take the easy win lol.

Thank you so much!
So Discord has something to do with Nvidia drivers apparently...

Is this a new thing after a discord update?
I have Nvidia drivers 528.02, I don't want to try the new 528.24 yet.

It's new, I filed a bug report with them to which they responded, asking if there was a performance degradation. I ran several benchmarks showing there was a (small) regression as well as a DXdiag they had requested. I suggest anyone suffering this issue do the same in hopes it gets fixed.
