Revit, Autocad, and GPU clock integration
Revit, Autocad, and GPU clock integration
Hi there,
I've observed some strange GPU behavior when using Autodesk products. Normally, with Revit and Autocad on three monitors, my GPU clock stays stable. Recently, even though everything worked fine after the Nvidia update (471.11), I'm now seeing spikes in the GPU clock while using just those programs. This is unusual and random. I tried 3DS Max, which performed well without any issues, and Sketchup as well. The problem started after updating drivers. A clean DDU install didn't help, and disabling Hardware Acceleration didn't resolve it. It seems the issue appears when only these Autodesk applications are running.
Refresh your update with complete details about the system's hardware specifications and operating system. Mention the power supply unit's power rating, model, wattage, age, and current condition. PSU: make, model, wattage, age, condition. Depending on the situation, the power supply might begin to show signs of strain and occasionally struggle to meet power requirements.
Sorry man, I should have mentioned that:
Windows 10 21H1
Intel i9 9900K
GTX 1080Ti
Bequiet! 850W Straight Power 11 Gold
All components except the GPU were installed in December 2019, and the GPU was from two years prior.
Everything is functioning properly now. I've been using both programs for modeling and drafting for the past four hours, and the GPU clock is normal with driver 466.47.
At 471.11, everything ran perfectly, especially during BFV where the GPU temperature stayed below 70°C.
During the first week after the update, Revit and Autocad worked seamlessly together. The GPU clock would spike when loading both programs, but it usually started with Autocad first—something I don’t use often, so I ignored it. Today, this issue also affected Revit, my primary work tool.
There was no noticeable lag with either program, though the GPU temperature increased slightly from around 38°C to 42-44°C with the higher clock speed. I decided not to run it for extended periods to avoid potential damage.
