RTX 3090 weird GPU clock variations

[psycnex]

Hello,

Recently I noticed a rather strange change on the GPU Clock (screenshot attached). I think it's been like this for 2-3 days, I remember that before it was at a constant frequency of 1860 without any variation...

Can someone give me some advice or a suggestion of what I could do?

Hello psycnex

This looks normal.

At idle, my ROG Strix RTX 3090 Ti throttles down to 210MHz.

The variation in frequency can be anything from opening a web page, to watching videos or background tasks.

Hello and thank you for the answer.
However, I think it was something strange, since the day I installed the video card I know that I had a constant frequency of 1860Mhz in idle and that increased in more demanding games.

It's hard to say what was causing your Strix RTX 3090 to stick at 1860MHz at idle, but all looks good with it now.
