Hi folks,
I am - again - regretting to have bought an nvidia gpu (3060ti). Today because I was gifted F1 2023 on Steam. It works pretty reliably most of the time but then there are severe stutters (while playing on steamlink on my apple-tv), up to the point of unplayability/crash. I know, complex setup but bear with me.
I installed nvidia smi and telegraf on my pc to narrow down the issues (confirm or deny hardware issues like temp, gpu disabling itself or something).
What I found is that the GPU rarely enters P0 state (max powerstate) and often stays in P2-P8 even during gaming. This is a problem because the framerate of the games often is not capped and I experience frame drops here and there = the GPU is not performing at max capacity. Here's a screenshot of the gaming session from yesterday night.
System Stats during gaming session
The colors indicate the power states. Green = P0, Yellow is P2, Orange is P8 (lowest power draw).
My setup
Thanks for reading and happy new year to you!
