I am running a GTX 970M 6GB on a MSI GT72 Dominator 2QD, using Windows 10 1903. The latest working driver was 425.31, every version after (All versions after the "added support for 1903) shows this behaviour.
The GPU simply doesn't boost. It's stuck at its max base clock, regardless of usage and temperature. Voltage stuck under the typical 1.0V at boost; it's at around 0.875-0.9ish. The GPU does downclock normally. When pegged at 100%, according to GPUZ, it will not boost because of the PerfCap reason "idle". Troubleshooting: Observable in all games and in all situations. Both on stock and OC. (OC simply adds + whatever to base clock, the card doesn't boost and doesn't apply boost voltages). Happens on fresh reboots without MSI AB or RTSS booted up. Installing the driver 425.31 fixes the problem immediately without the need to reboot.
Any idea what's going on?
