GTX 970 core clock not dropping on idle

[jaspher20]

Okay so last time I checked, my gtx 970 card only runs about 100~150 mhz on GPU clock and 300~ on memory clock and the temp stays at 50 deg C on idle. Now it remains on 1151 mhz on GPU and 3505 on clock while still on idle. What is the cause of this and how can i revert it back to normal?

Okay I just found out that NVIDIA GeForce Experience Shadowplay uses that much resources when turned on.

You may also want to check the NVIDIA control panel, and make sure your power management setting is set to "adaptive" and not "performance".
