Question Is the high power-draw for its Arc A-series GPUs in multi-monitor setups really fixed?

[NEEDphotoRIG]

I just build a new PC (i7 13700 & Z790 Gigabyte Elite & 32 GB RAM) with an Arc A750. It is a 2 monitor setup - 2 BenQ monitors It is running driver version 31.0.101.4255

According to this TechPowerUp article the issue was fixed with an earlier driver 31.0.101.416.
Yet according to ArcControl it is drawing between 39-44 watts. It never dips below 38W.

I am not tech savvy, so am I reading the wrong reading? Or does GPU Core power measure something else?

It would seem that it is fixed:

Thus my question...is my Arc still drawing 39-44 Watts while in idle? I'm not sure how I check. I see on the ArcControl software that the GPU Core Power fluctuates between 38-44 W....is that the power draw at idle? Or is there a better software to measure it. Maybe the Arc is fine but the software is wrong? or measuring something different? I am an ignorant pc user.

Oh, ok, I understand now. MSi Afterburner should be able to tell you what you need to know:
