Logitech Software *Warning*

[Bad 💀 Motha]

If you using ANY Logitech Keyboard/Mouse Software!
Check to see if your GPU stays at full-3D-Clocks when these are actively running, while system is idle. I noticed my GPU always running at full-3D-Clocks even when system-idle and couldn't figure out why. Then I noticed closing Logitech Gaming Software did the trick.

So to combat this, go into NVIDIA Control Panel > Manage 3D Settings > Program Settings tab > add the main .EXE in there for such software that does this; such as:
- C:\Program Files\Logitech Gaming Software\LCore.exe
-or-
- C:\Program Files (x86)\Logitech Gaming Software\LCore.exe
Then make a change just for this .EXE to have the GPU Power Management set to Adaptive rather than Global Default. This will ensure this software does not cause GPU 3D clocks to enforce, resulting in higher idle GPU temps.

Not sure how to do this if u have AMD GPU; I'm sure others could chime in with regards to Per-App Settings in AMD Catalyst/Crimson.

I am using Logitech Gaming software. G510 with MSI Afterburner reporting gpu stats to the screen. I haven't encountered this issue with Catalyst drivers. Where did you read this usage? Could be an issue or confliction with that program.

I have MSI-AB setup to display GPU temp as a real-time icon in Notification bar (along side the Airplane and Monitor icon for AB/RivaTuner suite) Just so I can always see GPU temp on Windows Desktop without any other apps.

With just system at idle doing nothing; my GPU temp was almost 50*C; I looked at MSI-AB and noticed the Clocks never going down to 2D-power-saving like it normally should. I closed just Logitech Gaming Software and that made my GPU then act normal again. Going back down to 30*C

Once I did the steps I provided to tell NVIDIA-CP to have LCore.exe set to "Adaptive" in NVIDIA Power Management; everything was fine after and LCore.exe never triggered GPU to use 3D-Clocks. So it was def that app that caused this to occur.

hi, if this still thread still open, I would like to get some help.
I have an rx 580 . I have the same issue. the memory clock is always 2200 Mhz. I have uninstalled and install the radeon drivers and msi afterburner. I don't know what to next other than a clean system install

This is from 2015...
What does this have anything to do with logitech?

1. Did you do any overclocking, or played with Msi afterburner? Uninstall, delete any profiles you made, and make sure the folders for MSI afterburner is complately gone, with no files left behind.

2. Download the latest, or older drivers you know that works for your GPU.
http://support.amd.com/en-us/download

3. Download DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) Run it in safemode, click on only (recommended buttons) once it has wipe your drivers, you install the video drivers you downloaded. Let me know if that has fixed your issue.

Its the logitech app itself, making GPU run 3D Clocks 24/7
Need to edit NVIDIA Control Panel > Manage 3D Settings > Program Settings > Locate or Add all Logitech main app EXE files and change Power Management to Adaptive.

For AMD however, not sure how to do that.

I have done that.
but, how do I delete all the msi afterburner folders. that's the only thing I haven't done,
how do I completely removed, nkw that you mentioned, when I installed afterburner again, the memory clock was already overclocked.

thanks for answering a 2 year old post

bad motha
I have an amd card

Look for MSI Afterburner folder, if they're still there after uninstalling it, delete it.

C:\Program Files (x86)\
or
C:\Program Files\

[Bad 💀 Motha]

Well for starters;
Uninstall MSI Afterburner and RivaTuner
When u run DDU, select Safe Mode > Restart

Once in Safe Mode, then delete root/core folders for MSI Afterburner and RivaTuner to ensure those are 100% gone, safe mode u shouldn't have an issue deleting such folders/files.

Then clean out everything with DDU; Intel + AMD + NVIDIA

When completed, reboot.

If you have Intel Chipset Motherboard; u will want to reinstall that driver

If you have AMD series Chipset Motherboard; u will want to reinstall that driver
http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/chipset?os=Windows%2010%20-%2064

Once Chipset is reinstalled, restart Windows and then install your GPU Driver, then restart once that has completed as well.

C:\Program Files (x86)\
or
C:\Program Files\

Look also here (un-hide all folders via Folder Options)

C:\ProgramData

%appdata% related folders as well.

this is a bit embarrassing, how can I missed a simple step like this.

when I get home, I'll do that,

guys again, thanks for the help

[wingback18]

guys didnt work , still the same

[Bad 💀 Motha]

Dont worry about it then.

[wingback18]

are you sure ,
the memory clock is always at 2200 mhz , i know i can go do to 600 mhz and the ramp up .

im going to muster courage this weekend , and ill install windows again , see if that is .

im been remembering and remembering i think it was when i started doing the part time miner or when i started using gpu z one or the other one ,that the memory clock is alway fix at the max

[Bad 💀 Motha]

Its a background app doing that; using the GPU when it shouldn't be.
I don't know how to do Per-App settings on AMD GPUs; I would never buy that stuff.
NVIDIA makes this super-easy to manage.

is the GPU clocking down while you're not running a game?
do you have multiple monitors connected?

Logi software has a buggy piece of exe code with it called discord, fyi delete it asap, hogs 1 cpu core constantly
