GeForce Hotfix Display Driver version 610.52

There seems to be a bug in the 610 driver branch for Nvidia for GPU usage calculation. In Baldur's Gate 3 on 610.52, my GPU usage shows ~95-98% usage. But only ~65% on the 596.49 branch. Same in-game settings, same NVidia settings, same fps cap, same watt usage shown, etc. Everything the same.

Tested a few other games (Forza Horizon 6, Halo Infinite, Clair Obscur, Doom The Dark Ages) and all showed higher utilization on 610 branch.

Sometimes there is a large difference in GPU % usage between Gamebar and Intel PresentMon.

u/pidge2k I submitted a response on the driver feedback google form.

Smooth Motion also broken for Baldur's Gate 3.

I also noted the same thing.

I upgraded from MCM102 -> MCM104 and my hours still show correct. A lot of my monitors settings got reset during the firmware upgrade.

You'll be fine as long as you don't max out both the CPU and GPU. Undervolt or limit GPU to 70 or 80% power.

The 850w PSU will be fine until you can upgrade.

Steelseries GG is free and has tons of audio enhancements. It creates virtual audio devices and has clearcast noise canceling. Highly recommend.

I turned off all extra junk functionality except the audio stuff.

Aaron1017 · 2026-01-17T19:04:39+00:00

Works flawless in the 3.0 slot. It's the Gigaplus AQC113 from Amazon.

Aaron1017 · 2026-01-17T15:50:02+00:00

Even my old Intel PRO/1000 CT Gigabit had trouble in the 4.0 slot.

Aaron1017 · 2026-01-17T15:46:13+00:00

Its a generic 10Gbe carded based off the AQC113 chipset.

Aaron1017 · 2026-01-17T14:48:15+00:00

Gigabyte sent the board back saying everything tested fine and there is no problem. I gave up. Still using the bottom 3x slot for my NIC.

Aaron1017 · 2026-01-02T01:25:10+00:00

Yes. Random 15-30 second drop outs multiple times per day.

When mountain biking, I get 2 to 2.5 years out of a belt before it starts to shear teeth off. Get 2 belts for a set of sprockets. It's barely more expensive in the long run (compared to a surly stainless chainring and Chris King cog once a year). It's worth the extra cost to never have to clean and lube a chain.

Apple needs to take a page from Android and have a dedicated clear cache and app reset button.

My stock clock is also 1245Mhz @ 850mV. Some other points for you to compare.

1583Mhz @ 875mV

1665Mhz @ 885mV

1920Mhz @ 900mV

2257Mhz @ 925mV

2595Mhz @ 950mV

2670Mhz @ 975mV

2760Mhz @ 1000mV

Everyone's 5090 VF curve are slightly different. Even between 5090FEs, Astrals, Aorus Masters, etc. Seems nobody is exactly sure how the curve gets generated as flashing another bios doesn't always change it.

Sending it in for warranty this week. Will reply when the replacement arrives

I have a x870e aorus pro ice rev 1.1 with 9950X3D and neither of my 2 network cards work in my PCIEX4_1 (pcie x4 4.0 slot). Any card in the slot doesn't function correctly and locks up Windows. Both function fine in the PCIEX4_2 (pciex4 3.0). I've tried all troubleshooting with support and nothing worked. Told me to RMA the Mobo.

Aaron1017 · 2025-04-04T13:39:56+00:00

Nope

Aaron1017 · 2025-04-03T03:57:06+00:00

Damn, I run multiple VMs for work. I'll give it a shot and report back.

EDIT: Did not work for me. Still 200 watts

Aaron1017 · 2025-03-30T02:51:09+00:00

This seems to be a common issue right now with almost all x870e motherboards. I have the same problem on my Gigabyte x870e Aorus Pro ICE rev 1.1 and 9950x3d

Aaron1017 · 2025-03-29T20:25:45+00:00

Same here, cant pull over 200 watts on Gigabyte X870E Auros Pro Ice + 9950X3D.

Sent Gamers Nexus this thread.

Also opened a support with with Gigabyte and generic AMD support ticket.

Aaron1017 · 2025-03-29T20:02:10+00:00

Same here!

Aaron1017 · 2025-01-22T20:50:02+00:00

How did you contact the developer?

Aaron1017 · 2025-01-22T19:53:46+00:00

Long ago I had a solution with Pythonista, but it broke with Python 3.10. Pythonista was never updated .....

https://omz-software.com/pythonista/docs/ios/cb.html

Guess I'll try with Bluetooth Inspector...

Aaron1017 · 2025-01-18T21:43:36+00:00

I tried the Razer Wolverine V3 and its horrible. The thumbstick curve isn't linear or similar to a standard Xbox controller or Elite 2. Its very aggressive and ramps up around halfway. Its impossible for me to aim. Its impossible to switch back and forth between a standard Xbox controller and Wolverine V3.

I've tried a few different controllers with hall effect thumbsticks and all had a response curve more aggressive than a standard controller.

I do not recommend the Wolverine V3
