Maybe since it doesn't concern EVGA you should have posted it on the nVidia or ASUS forums or even here. But for what it's worth my temps are up ~3C with this driver from the previous version.

 


isn't this supposed to be a community of PC enthusiasts...?
 
last time i checked, everyone uses Nvidia drivers for their Nvidia GPU's. regardless of what brand it is .......

Mine are running the same temps with the 372.54 drivers.

i'm not sure what's going on, but my GPU seems to be running alot hotter after my system automatically updated the Windows version and after driver 372.54.
 
it's idling like 4-6 degrees hotter and my GPU used to rarely went over 34*c-35*c while i was playing League of Legends. i see it hitting around 38*c-39*c now when i'm in an LoL game.

If it helps at all, 38-39c is very cool. You should not see any throttling at all until about 50c and it will be very small increments from 50c upward. The max temp for the GTX 1080 is 94c for safe operation so I would not worry.

it's just weird because nothing has changed except the Windows 10 update and new driver. i woke up one day to my computer automatically updating the Windows 10 version, so i decided to update the Nvidia driver as well. i instantly felt a weird, kind of, judder in League of Legends that did not use to be there.
 
i made sure the GPU was running at 'Prefer Max Performance'.
 
my GPU used to sleep in the mid to high 20's. it's sitting at 37*c right now while i'm typing this and have my League of Legends client open. before the updates, i could be watching Youtube, have the LoL client open, and browsing the internet and temps would be hovering around the 31*c. my case fans seem to be running at the same speeds as before according to CPUID. this is a real head scratcher.

Also be aware that dust accumulaton, ambient temperatures, and internal case heat from other components (such as the CPU and RAM) affect GPU temps. You'd be surprised what a couple of degrees difference in ambient temps can do - and just because your house thermostat reads the same temperature doesn't mean that your computer room isn't a bit warmer.

the system is only a few months old and ambient temps have been the same. i always have my house @ 75*f or colder.
 
there shouldn't be any additional heat from components because my CPU is liquid cooled by a Kraken x61.
 
i'm using CPUID, the CAM software, and MSI Afterburner to keep an eye on temps.

I been having issues with these drivers, I'm running 1070 FTW and These drivers are making my card idol at 60c! Also giving me very poor performance, with fallout 4! went from 90+fps  to 50-60fps
I reverted back to 368.39, My temp are back to normal Idol is at 26c to 30c Much better than 60 and Better performance! IDK (Deleted for Foul Language) Nvidia been doing with there drivers.

yeah, we're not the only ones effected by these new drivers. i'm going to give it another week, or so, to see if there's a new driver/fix.


if not, then i'm reverting back as well.

If you have "Prefer Max Perf." set globally in the NVCPL, that's your high idle temp issue.  If you want to use that setting, set it in each specific game profile that you want it used in.

Try setting the Power Management Mode to "Adaptive" in the global settings and see what happens.  If you have any 3D application running (even in the background), that will cause the GPU clocks speed to run at the base clock or higher causing higher temps.
 
Since you're running with Prefer max Perf globally, check to see if anything is running in the background forcing a higher (if it is) than idle clock speed.

trust me, i've already played around with the different settings before making this thread.
 
my GPU is doing everything it used to at around 6*c - 7*c hotter. that's a pretty big jump for an updated driver. i wouldn't have cared, or made a thread, if it was just a couple of degrees. i also noticed that alot of other people were having the same issue as me so i made a thread to see if anybody knew what the issue really was.

372. driver is smoother in games, but I noticed much worse benchmark scores vs. .39

"how many times do i have to say i already tried that? i'm not a noob..."

Forum Members are only trying to help you out.
Being that you have a Asus GTX 1080 RoG Strix OC and not an EVGA GTX 1080 then maybe you should be asking them this question as well as here. We all know you will get much better support on the EVGA Forum then the ASUS Forum.
38*c-39*c is really low BTW. Each New Driver optimizes so that is all it really is.
Now if you said 88*c-99*c then you may want to go back the to the Previous Driver Version that worked best for you.
Overtime your temperatures will increase as well so it to could be this or just a fresh install of drivers.

... You did not say one single time that you already tried that.  All you said is that it was currently set to prefer max performance and that it was set to prefer max performance with the previous driver.  And you said that nothing changed and that you tried fiddling around with "settings".  Not once did you specifically answer the question directly which is why a few of us kept asking over and over again.
 

i made sure the GPU was running at 'Prefer Max Performance'.

that's not the issue. i've always had it on that setting before my Win10 updated itself and the new Nvidia driver. the GPU is basically doing everything around 6-7 degrees hotter for some reason. my fans are running at their usual speeds, my softwares have my components running at the same speeds, and the only thing that is different is the Win10 update and the new GPU driver.

ambiguously skirting around the question and only answering with "settings" (which could mean almost anything):

trust me, i've already played around with the different settings before making this thread.

how many times do i have to say i already tried that?

Oh!  There it finally is; as if you had been saying that all along.
 
 
 
Anyway...
 
Like I said, if you really think that something is not quite right, you need to go back to your old driver, document every parameter like I listed above, go to the new driver, document every parameter like I listed above, and look at the differences.

 
Moving to General Hardware. (Non-Evga GPU)

 
Sorry, but only Evga products go into those sections. Everything else would go into General Hardware. Been like this for many years.
