Nvidia fixes Discord throttling

Done over the air, you will not feel a thing

The GPU maker named after a Roman vengence daemon Nvidia has fixed a problem with Discord software which throttled memory clocks.

The bug in the software meant that when it ran in the background, the graphics card will fail to hit the maximum memory clock, leading to a performance loss. It only harmed the memory subsystem on Nvidia cards.

Discord recently enabled AV1 support for Nvidia's latest GeForce RTX 40-series (Ada Lovelace) graphics card, so the bug could be potentially related to AV1 encoding support for video streaming.

Whatever the cause Nvidia has fixed the issue with an over-the-air (OTA) update which means that its users will get the fix pushed to them without them being aware of it. If you want to make sure Nvidia has shared the following method to solve the Discord application bug manually:
