High GPU Core Clock after exiting game

after I exit game, my GPU core clock remains on high value (1775mhz), I have RTX 3060TI. no other game or 3d application, including benchmarks causes such an issue, ONLY Apex Legends.

what I tried: installed new NVME on my system, installed win10 and win11 (tried both), installed latest drivers and OS updates. tried default and custom driver and windows settings, power management settings, g-sync on/off,  gpu scheduling on/ff and many more. there's nothing I found in processes, that might use GPU, even tried nvidia GPU activity indicator.

I have still the same problem. during match, core clock is around 1935-1950 mhz, on menu 1775mhz. it is the same in every other game, but when I quit other games, my gpu core clock drops to 210-320mhz, but after I quit Apex Legends, it remains on 1775mhz. it also affects gpu memory clock and it has high clocks speed as well. I only have to restart my PC to I got it fixed. it even affects other games pefrormance.

ONLY Apex Legends has such behavior, nothing else. tried a lot of demanding games, applications and benchmarks, no issue, but Apex...

    disable nvidia reflex. leave it to Enable and don't use +boost. restart PC and problem will be fixed.

    it fixed problem for me. I wasted 1 week to find out.

    thank you, EA for such a buggy game and 0 support from technical team <3

  • Hi, I have a similar problem, after playing apex, memory frequency does not decrease. Power consumption remains at 50 watts and idle temperature rises to 60 degrees. RTX 3070 via game driver 526.47

    Helped to me install the latest version Studio driver 522.30
