Discord is slowing down NVIDIA graphics cards, and here is a solution if you are one of those affected
the world of PC Gaming It is a very peculiar one and, above all, flimsy. A bad update for any of its components, and everything goes to waste. The problem we are prioritizing today would be leading Discord to slow down systems with NVIDIA graphics cards. However, and although there is a patch on the way, here is a solution.
Troubleshoot Discord
The situation is tricky, especially for those of you who play and make use of the background communication and chat application. It is not the first time that Discord appears as one of those “third-party malware” for some games, but in this case the failure affects most NVIDIA RTX 30 cardsWhile the 40 series seems to have no problems.
The error in question, as added from The Verge, the application is slowing down the memory clock and cutting about 200 MHz on average. To correct this error, at least until the official patchNVIDIA has shared the solution and goes through downloading GeForce 3D Profile Manager.
Once downloaded, do the following:
- Click on “Export SLI Profiles”.
- Select any location to save the .txt.
- Once this is done, open the text file and search for (Ctrl+B) Discord.
- Above “EndProfile” paste the following: Setting ID_0x50166c5e = 0x00000000.
- Select save, go back to GeForce 3D Profile Manager and click “Import SLI Profiles”.
- You only have to choose the previously edited .txt and hit “open”.
Press Enter and in that space, paste the above
With this, we will have “solved” the error until NVIDIA gets its hands on the matter. At this time, there isn’t a way to tell if you’re affected by Discord issues beyond checking programs like MSI Afterburner and the like.
if you want to know why has this happened, the problem comes from the RTX 40. The new generation of Ada Lovelace received last week support to transmit with the AV1 codec up to 4K and 60 FPS with Discord Nitro at 8 Mbps. An improvement that the other players have paid with this error, although the NVIDIA technical team promises full solutions coming soon.
