Power Issue on Nvidia Studio Driver?


Hi..

Yesterday I installed studio driver for my 15 Base Model (RTX2060P) while on power cord. Later that night, I watch downloaded netflix movie and set my battery setting to the lowest. Wifi OFF. Before using Studio Driver, I able to watch up to 3 hours. But after studio driver, my battery only stay for 1,5 hour.

Anyone having the same issue?

Before studio driver, I use 461.40 nvidia driver (released on Jan 2021). (I think its a game-ready driver)

It turns out that NVIDIA driver (from NVIDIA website) reduce a huge amount of my battery life (99% to 54% within 30 mins on battery saving mode).

After I uninstall the GPU driver from NVIDIA website, then reinstall driver from windows update, my battery life return back to normal, or around 4 hours from 99% to 10% on battery saving mode.
