Hey,
I noticed a strange behavior today.
As far as I can tell, I think this issue began with the 28 October.
After inspecting the power measurement of my computer for the past month,
I saw that my computer draws significant more power than before.
I tested other games, but it does only appear in Valorant.
I did the following:
Restart Computer
Check idle power draw: 120 Watt
Start Valorant
Close Valorant
Check idle power draw: 180 Watt
It does not matter how long I wait before starting Valorant.
It draws those 120 Watt in idle, all the time.
It does not matter how long I wait after closing Valorant.
It draws the 180 Watt forever, if I do not restart my Computer.
I even killed ALL tasks in windows task manger… Even system related.
Nothing there shows any activity.
CPU usage is 0 ~ 1%
GPU is also 0 ~ 1%,
but the system is drawing those increased power no matter what.
Only system restart fix it.
I wonder if anyone of you have the same issue and got an idea what's happening here.
Thanks
