Hey everyone! I've had my PC for quite some time, but I'm not the best at keeping the components updated. Recently, I noticed my Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 isn't performing as expected. Here are some details about its current metrics:
- GPU CLOCK: 1177 MHz
- GPU POWER: 53-54 Watts
- GPU TEMPERATURE: 52 Celsius
- GPU VOLTAGE: 0.662 Volts
- VRAM CLOCK: 5005 MHz
- GPU UTILIZATION: 20-24%
- CPU UTILIZATION: 0-3%
I'm aware that there could be several issues at play here, but I'd like to rule things out to get to the root of the problem. Any insights would be appreciated! Thanks in advance!

An iGPU is an integrated GPU that's actually built into the CPU. Some setups can have both an integrated and a dedicated GPU, like the GTX 1080. It might be possible that your system is using the iGPU instead of the GTX 1080. What model of CPU do you have, and is your setup a laptop or desktop?
Are you seeing those performance metrics while you're doing something specific? Like gaming or just sitting idle?
Are those metrics showing while your GPU is idle, or are you gaming? Also, does your CPU have an integrated GPU (iGPU)?
The metrics are while idle. I don't know what an iGPU is, though.
I'm not doing anything intense; just some basic apps like Discord, Nvidia software, and Overwolf running in the background.
