I've recently had a problem with my GPU.
From time to time the clock usage goes up to 90% even tho im not doing anything demanding with my pc.
When this happens in-game performance decreases signifigantly, I would say i loose about half of my FPS, if not even more!
I've looked around abit on google, some new posts suggesting it's cause to be the problem lies between the monitor and the GPU if it runs at 144 Mhz. Others suggest the reason is because you have 2 monitors.
I do infact have 2 monitors, however both are running at 60Hz.
I strongly believe the fault is with the Nvidia drivers, about half a year ago i reinstalled my OS, and before i did this, I had never encountered this problem.
Sometimes rebooting will fix this and when idle, the clock usage drops down to 2-3% however im looking for a more permanent solution.
So any ideas on how to fix this?
