Hi all!
I have a desktop with two 1080 Ti. Though one of them says that the SW Power Cap is Active. Always. Even when idling. And never goes over P5 / 50W. I played with nvidia-smi -pl but it doesn’t seem to work.
Here is nvidia-smi output. The first GPU (id 0) is perfectly fine and works as expected. The second one is dramatically throttled.
Help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
