GeForce RTX Too Hot/Cold: New Driver Has a Temperature Monitoring Bug 59 comments
The new graphics card driver tends to be slightly faster than GeForce 576.02, and has a new bug that can cause the GPU temperature to no longer be correctly recorded, and as a result, other parameters such as GPU clock or voltage can no longer be adjusted accordingly.
Why is the GPU suddenly so cool?
Shortly after the release, users also reported GPU temperatures to the Computing Core community that were either far from the known level or in completely unrealistic ranges. The underlying issue is an error in the NVAPI_GPU_GETHETHETHETORTOINS API, which, for example, freezes after waking from sleep, reports “unexpired,” MSI Afterburner developer, in the Guru3D forum.
If the API freezes, excessively high clock rates and/or voltages can be the result because the driver can no longer adapt the frequency/voltage curve to the current operating temperature.
Remedy: a reboot or an old driver
Remedy: can only be resolved while running or by reinstalling an older driver. After all, users who constantly monitor their GPU via overlays, including the GPU temperature display, can keep an eye on the problem.
