It sounds like a motorbike throttling up and down. very very annoying. I’ve scanned with MalwareBytes, nothing. I’ve updated my drivers and this is still happening. I’ve even underclocked and undervolted my graphics card and set it into a low power mode to try and stifle the usage but to no avail.
is there any way I can literally force the 3D usage down while my computer is idle? My computer isn’t running any program that uses 3D models right now. but it’s like my GPU thinks it’s running some 3D game. hella weird
edit it’s not the fan making the noise either, I’ve manually activated the fan to see if the fan is causing the noise, and it’s a separate nose to the one annoying me. the noise I’m hearing is a more grind-y noise like a motorbike or propeller airplane that keeps going in and out
Yea, I wouldn’t expect to be able to kill either of those - they’re kind of necessary for the system.
Something is requesting activity from them. When did this start? Is the timing related to a new app or a change in the system?
Was playing Switch games on Ryujinx last night and it’s like after I shut down Ryujinx my graphics card thinks it’s still running a game. Ryujinx isn’t running I checked. I restarted my computer 3-4 times
