The MSI RTX 4060 VENTUS 2X has a strange behavior of the GPU and Memory clock

Spoiler: CONFIGURATION

MSI Geforce RTX 4060 VENTUS 2X BLACK OC
MSI PRO B760M-A WiFi DDR4
Intel Core i5-12400F
Corsair CX850M (Gray label) | Not new, idk if it matters.

In idle mode or at the slightest load (surfing the Internet, social networks), the clocks rise sharply from the base to the maximum value. The voltage at this moment also rises sharply from 0.8750 to 0.9850/0.9900. In games it can be higher, here it's ok. It seems abnormal to me, is it worth worrying about? Please, help me(

I tried the driver version 537.58 and which Windows installed. It didn't help. I found a similar situation here: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?...high-power-draw-when-idle.387442/post-2199737
But here talking about high power draw in idle, I am calm about that. There is also a similar problem, but with the 4070 card: https://www.techpowerup.com/forums/threads/is-this-normal.323632/

GPU-Z after playing Counter-Strike 2:

The clocks are always at maximum values. It scares me(

After playing Minecraft (everything seems more normal here):

Is this behavior typical for the 4060 or just for me? The card is new, but it was bought from a person. I attached the logs to the topic.

Not really seeing anything out of sorts here. Do you have the "power management mode" setting in the driver control panel set to "Prefer Maximum performance"? If so, that's what's happening.

I think since like 2013 gpus use power saving states, even my card does it.

Unless you set it otherwise. I always set my card to prefer performance in the global settings. I loath desktop lag...

I always have windows set to max performance but never had a performance issue on the gui of windows, also i left ccc at the time alone

I ran that exact model of card for a few weeks and it had the same behaviour. My 4070 Ti also does it, along with a few 30 series cards I've run so I'd say it's completely normal, 30/40 series will switch clocks extremely fast compared to some of the older Nvidia cards. I'd also ignore the idle power draw, it's not able to report it according to Nvidia.

That is only for the overlay. Card power usage is still reported by the card through the driver.

Right, you can see one of the power readings is stuck on 47.5W all the time indicating a problem with readings. Was supposed to be fixed up but I guess it remains broken as is the GTX 1050Ti.

See https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/forums/geforce-graphics-cards)/5/522968/4060-idle-power/

Somebody used PCAT which basically fits between 8/6 pin connectors and also PCIe connector to measure at a claimed 1mW accuracy.

As for clocks and why graph is showing low while text reading is high you may need to check with other software or ask W1zz. Note that running more than one utility can mess up readings. Also note that GPUZ shows requested clocks and not effective clocks which might only be a quarter of the requested value.

No, "Normal"

About Board Power Draw, I know that everything is fine.
In everything else thanks all for the help.
