RTX GPU going into low power?

[jchang6]

My AD104 RTX 4060 Ti is now working with the new GPUs.txt file.
however, just in the last couple of days, whenever the system (windows) display turns off, the GPU is now going into low power mode?
normally, PPD is around 6M,
if the display shutoff and I touch a key, it shows 1.5M PPD or something. This did not happen initially or on other systems (GPU folding only). FaH prevents the system from going to sleep, GPU runs FaH at the normal rate, with only project specific variations.
I can't any setting is different in a meaningful way?

Make sure your screen sleep setting is "Never".

If using a laptop you can set the screensaver to "Blank".

If it's a deskop just turn off the monitor using the Power switch.

You can also try to set Prefer Maximum Performance for Power Management setting in nVidia Control Panel.

I will give the nVidia Control Panel, Power Management setting: Prefer Maximum Performance a try
however, other computers are in normal
and when display shuts off with no effect.
only this one system, not sure if I changed something

it now setting nVidia Control Panel, Power Management setting: Prefer Maximum Performance does not work?
any additional ideas are welcome

I never use display power saving option on desktops ... I turn off the screen with the power button when I'm not going to use it.

I would even say that I disable all power saving features on dedicated folding machines ...

Strange. In Win10 I have my display sleep set at 10 minutes, but it never impacts folding speed.

My NVIDIA Control Panel has no power options that I see.

on this one system, which has the MSI Ventus RTX 4060 Ti, goes into lower folding regardless of whether the screen saver activates or the monitor is turned off (will check later if display power save was disabled). Win 11, 24H2.
Other systems are : Asus Dual RTX 4070 Super, Asus Tuf Gaming RTX 4060 Ti, Asus Tuf Gaming RTX 3060 LHR, EVGA RTX 3080 Ti (died after just less than 3 yrs, despite MSI Afterburner 75% setting), Dell 3070, and MSI RTX 2080 Super have this issue.
Same for Radeon cards
