i recently found that by having 2 monitors, your clock speed on your gpu runs at higher speeds than usual, if ure just watching some yt videos your gpu clock should be at around 0-700 for main clock and 0-1000 for memory clock, well when i am doing something simple its at 1683 and 5005, that makes no sense, i found out that u can fix that by downloading : nvidia inspector multi display power saver, and i can press 1 button and my clock go to full or to minimum
right now minimum clock is : 105-607mhz main and 405 mhz memory.
maxium clock can be around : 1683-1949mhz main and 5005mhz memory.
and then i sat down and played a little bit with my temp limit and power limit, i figured out that if i put my temp limit to 60C wich is minimum and my power limit to maxium wich is 121 , my clocks would be low, and then i do that to light games like when i play csgo or dota 2 or flight simulators, i dont need all that proccesing power, so why should i use it ? plus my GPU Usage goes down to like 40% that means my gpu is going to have an longer lifespan, right ????
but sometimes, i play games like PUBG,Squad, and many other games that need all the proccesing power my GPU can deliver, for the best user experince and for an advantage, since higher fps = better plays right ?, then i proceed to click the little reset botton on my MSI afterburner and that resets power limit, temp limit, and clocks, to their normal factory settings, then i go to play Squad, guess what happends my gpu main clock sits at 1850-1950, BUT gpu usage is ONLY 40%, (((((((((((( i get low fps, i used to get like 115 fps on squad with my settings and specs now i GET ONLY 70, end up playing worse and i feel like quiting the game, but i dont want to, its a fun game.
