Title: RTX 2060 12 GB not lowering the power Post by: swogerino on February 23, 2022, 09:03:28 PM I just bought a MSI Ventus 2060 12 GB and downloaded the driver from the MSI official website.I am running this on my riserless motherboard and everything looks smooth so far except one problem,the power stays at 125 watt although I have lowered it to 67% power limit.My settings are what everyone recommends -95 core clock and +1500 Memory Clock,that is the maximum for this MSI card,I have seen other brands doing +1650 but the hash rate is the same 37.xx for me as the other cards with higher memory.
Maybe I didn't see it correctly on youtube videos,maybe I need to have 1095 core clock which means I need +95 instead of -95 for lower power limit at 98 watt as I am seeing everywhere?

sudo nvidia-smi -i 0 -lgc 1095,1095 (replace the number "0" after the "-i" parameter with the actual gpu index of your 2060-12gb in your system: ie. 0 for 1st gpu, 1 for 2nd gpu, etc.) Title: Re: RTX 2060 12 GB not lowering the power Post by: Daodex on February 24, 2022, 07:40:53 AM Solution is Trex miner, use it's absolute core clock settings your power consumption will go lower, it works in hive OS as well the mission is to lock the core clock to a certain number.
