Nvidia says there\u2019s a fix for a recently discovered issue<\/a> where Discord being open in the background limited the performance of some graphics cards. According to a tweet from the company<\/a>, the patch will download automatically when you log into Windows, so you won\u2019t have to go through the trouble of manually downloading a graphics driver or other software update.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The issue, which affected systems with cards like the RTX 3080 and RTX 3060 Ti, was seemingly caused by a recent Discord update. It kept GPUs from reaching their maximum memory clocks, missing by around 200Mhz. That came with a slight performance penalty when playing games, which isn\u2019t exactly ideal given that Discord is made to help you talk to friends while gaming.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n According to Nvidia, the fix comes as an app profile update. Before now, it was possible to manually apply it<\/a>, but the process wasn\u2019t exactly straightforward and involved downloading a profile manager and then exporting, editing, and re-importing profiles. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
