A fix is coming eventually, Nvidia says
If you're one to obsess over frames per second or CPU and GPU utilization, you may have noticed some odd behavior when using Discord with Nvidia graphics cards of late.
When playing games with Discord open in the background, Nvidia GPU memory clocks are running slower than they ought to be., appears to be linked to how Discord ties into Nvidia's encode/decode engines for video streaming. How far memory clocks drop seems to depend on which card you're using. Nvidia's 30-series cards appear to lose about 200MHz while Discord is open, though some users have reported drops of more than 500MHz on older 10-series cards.was able to replicate this issue on a RTX 3060-based gaming system using MSI's Kombustor test suite. As soon as we began streaming with Discord, memory clocks fell from 7500MHz to 7300MHz.
The chipmaker also noted that a fix was in the works and would"be pushed to users' PCs via an over-the-air update at a later date." However, it's not clear what change to Discord may have caused the issue. Some forum-goers have speculated it may be linked to the rollout of AV1 encode support on Nvidia 40-series cards. This would make sense as the issue only crops up when using Discord's voice and streaming functionality.
