My 8GB ASUS Dual GeForce RTX 4060 EVO OC Edition reports around 52W board power draw during idle. I have checked that my GPU is really at idle state: GPU and memory controller load are very low (0-3%), as are the clocks (200MHz GPU/100MHz Mem), and the fans are stopped.
I'm running the latest Geforce drivers to date (566.14) with every setting at default. No overclocking. I have checked power management mode in 3D settings and it's on "Normal".
UEFI BIOS is up to date. Resizable BAR is enabled and working. ASPM settings are on default.
I'm a bit puzzled, how can it be possible? My former GPU, a GTX 1660, had a board power draw of 10W at idle, it had no fan stop and temps very higher. Besides, when I run a light Unity game, as Pillars of Eternity, for example, the board power draw only increases about 3/5W: it has no sense, it should go up considerably higher than that. And when playing something really demanding, like Alan Wake 2 on high settings the max power draw is around 115W, what it should be, no more.
It has to be some kind of driver bug, right?
