Hey everyone, I’m struggling with high idle power consumption on my RTX 5090. It hovers around 85-100W, even though others report 45-50W with dual 4K monitors.
Here’s what I’ve tried so far:
- Clean driver install (latest version)
- Set to “Normal” mode in the NVIDIA Control Panel (not “Prefer Maximum Performance”)
- Checked Task Manager – no heavy processes running
- Hardware setup: 4K 240Hz monitor + Hyte Y70 screen
Despite all this, the idle power draw remains high. Does anyone know how to reduce it or what else I can try?
Thanks in advance!
