[SOLVED] GPU Tweak III/MSI Afterburner - - - no voltage registered ?

[adotmon]

Hi,
my ASUS RTX 3070 shows 0 Voltage used in:

• GPU Tweak III
• MSI Afterburner

I wanted to undervolt but don't seem to be able to without that reading - how can I debug it?

Same setup worked fine before when it had GTX 1080Ti, I could undervolt in MSI Afterburner there. Before swapping 1080 to 3070 I uninstalled all drivers using DDU v18.0.5.4

The GPU seems to work great ( as mentioned in userbench). Ram and CPU, too.

Only weak-points seem to be the storage devices (adata, ...).

Looks like, as if the internal vcore-sensor of the graphic-card does not work.
I did some googling, but did not find anything comparable.
You may ask ASUS-support, perhaps they have an solution (at least RMA and another 3070).

Hopefully some other forum members might have a better idea.

@alexbirdie But you can see voltage measurements in some of the panels - see GPU Tweak III right side of screenshot - the "GPU Voltage (mV)" displays voltage data while other panels dont.

I've never used Gpu Tweak, but Afterburner has voltage monitoring disabled by default. Go into settings and you should find it under the general tab.
Tweak may use the same defaults.

I reinstalled MSI Afterburner and now it works out of the box. I assume that my mistake was uninstalling only drivers and not the MSI Afterburner. Now I am undervolted 100mV Thank you for support everyone

Hey! Here's how I've fixed it:

1. Uninstall GPU drivers with DDU v18.0.5.4 - make sure to check all sensible options
2. Uninstall GPU Tweak III/MSI Afterburner
3. Restart PC
4. Install new GPU drivers
5. Install GPU Tweak III/MSI Afterburner

By drivers I've meant software - drivers, nvidia control panel, GeForce experience etc. etc. Just use DDU software it solves the "s" for you.
