Connection loss occurs during high GPU usage WiFi stability decreases when processing is intense
Hello! I understand you're facing a problem with your PCIe Wi-Fi adapter during heavy GPU tasks. When running intensive operations like Stable Diffusion, your adapter disconnects from the network even though you can see available networks. You're using a specific setup including your Gigabyte Aero 4080 RTX and other components. I'd like to hear your thoughts on possible solutions or adjustments that could help stabilize the connection. Your device is running with updated drivers, and you're using a USB tethering method for other devices. Let me know if you'd like further guidance! Thank you!
My assumptions would point to a driver problem leading to resource allocation problems, possibly due to motherboard stability on its PCIe lanes or interference from the new GPU. I would suggest these steps: update the chipset and GPU driver, perform a clean installation if time allows for extra restarts. If that fails, try downgrading the GPU to 8X speeds and Gen 3 in BIOS to see if stability improves, which might resolve some unusual resource allocation issues.
Thanks for the feedback! While reviewing your suggestion, I found a discrepancy in the chipset drivers on the download page—most recent ones are listed there, whereas the ones available via the app center from Gigabyte are newer. So far, stressing the GPU during training hasn’t caused any wifi problems. It’s still early to say it’s fixed, but it’s a positive sign. I’ll follow up after a few days.
