I dont know if this is the proper place to ask but I reckon people here are more familiar with such setups and I don't really have the knowledge to achieve what i want.
I’m using an MSI Gaming RTX 5060 OC and trying to undervolt for light 60 FPS gaming.
In MSI Afterburner, I flatten the curve after ~800mV (e.g., targeting ~900–1000 MHz at ~650mV). Before hitting Apply, the curve looks correct. After hitting Apply, the curve reshapes/jumps and won’t stay flattened past that point. First image shows before hitting apply how i want my curve to stay and the second image shows how it ramps up the curve after hitting apply.
My older GPU which is a GTX 1060 didn't have this problem. been using it that way for more than a decade.
Also, even with a 60 FPS cap, the GPU boosts to ~1400–1500 MHz and higher wattage (~30–50W), even though 60 FPS can clearly be maintained at ~900–1000 MHz and much lower power like 20-25watts.
I’m not chasing performance — I want lower clocks and lower wattage while keeping idle downclock intact. Which helps with heat and my current bill.
