I'm having a weird issue I can't seem to pinpoint, if anyone has some tips I'd love to see them.
3080 FE, Ryzen 5800x, MSI X570, Corsair Vengeance 3600mhz
When I'm not gaming, I'm running Nicehash on Excavator/Daggerhashimoto. hashrate halves to around 46-48mh (normally 95-97mh) after a period of inactivity on the computer, confirmed by "Utilization limit" as Yes in hwinfo and "No load limit" as 1 in Afterburner. I try to catch it in GPU-z to look at PerfCap, but GPU-Z seems to wake up the card, returning full hashrate, and the limits noted on hwinfo/Afterburner goes away. PerfCap notes "Pwr" limit but so do other apps as my overclocks are set as 67% pwr, -250 core, +1050 mem, so of course they show power limit is active which is fine.
Sure I could leave GPU-Z running, but I rather try to figure out what's going on.
Sidenote: Was not having this issue a few days ago. I swapped to NVMe and did a full reinstall of OS's & everything rather than cloning over. I tested by reinstalling the previous SSD and hashrate was consistent. Same overclocks. Windows power mode set to full performance. Sleep mode disabled, monitor shut off disabled, but somehow I feel like Windows is doing this putting the card in idle mode. That or somehow its application based issue and Windows/Nvidia is not recognizing Nicehash/ Excavator as a GPU using app? You would figure it would use the load sensors on the GPU though.
Anyone know why the card thinks there's no GPU load and thus reducing clocks even while all monitoring apps indicate ~100% load consistently when miner is running?
