Nvidia, the world’s leading graphics processing unit (GPU) provider, recently acknowledged the potential problem with Discord slowing down performance on their GPUs. The company has now released a fix designed to address this issue and improve users’ gaming experiences.
Nvidia became aware of the issue after receiving reports from users that their GPUs were running at lower clock speeds when the Discord app was running in the background. After investigating the issue, Nvidia was able to identify the cause: an incorrect flag was being set for power states when the Discord app was in use. This flag prevented the GPU from running at optimal performance.
Thankfully, Nvidia has released an updated driver package containing a fix for this issue. The updated driver enables the GPU to correctly detect and activate its highest performance mode when the Discord app is being used. The result is improved performance for users running games and other applications that require GPU acceleration.
Nvidia has also taken steps to ensure that the fix is available to all users. Users can download the latest driver from Nvidia’s official website or their graphics card manufacturer’s website. Once installed, the driver should correct the issue and improve performance.
The news of Nvidia’s fix is a welcome relief for those impacted by the issue. Discord is an incredibly popular communication platform and many gamers rely on it to connect with friends and teammates. Having access to the latest driver ensures that users can enjoy an uninterrupted gaming experience and make the most of their Nvidia GPUs.
