Public bug reported: With the most recent nvidia-driver-470 package my RTX 3080 is stuck in performance level 4, which prevents the GDDR6X memory from downclocking.
This causes the card to draw almost 100W during idle operation, which is unacceptable. With the previous nvidia-driver-460, the card would properly enter the lower power states and downclock the memory, which lowered the idle power draw to about 30-40W.
