I have just one monitor. M27q 1440p 165hz switched from 1080p 60hz, GPU wasn't working this hard before, I understand that 1440p has more pixels but I just watch twitch it's not suppose to full blast like this

Doesn't look like full blast since GPU usage is minimal

#

as for the clock speeds, it is NOT a true indicator if the program is on full load or not

#

You need to read it with GPU usage + Clock Speed + Power wattage

#

sometimes it MUST run at a certain clock speed to run especially on high end displays or resolution

#

power wattage while watching is around 10-20, not high pretty normal in my opinion? I guess you're right im overreacting badly

#

not 10w

#

but why gpu and memory clock speed runs at max

violet widget
#

there is the minimum clock speed and you are always doing stuff on your PC

#

your GPU needs to render the video and display anyway

#

watching a video isn't idling

#

Your RAM is also running at full speed all the time as well, it's the nature of RAM in general
