Nvidia says thereās a fix for Discord slowing down your GPU
Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge
Nvidia says thereās a fix for a recently discovered issue where Discord being open in the background limited the performance of some graphics cards. According to a tweet from the company, the patch will download automatically when you log into Windows, so you wonāt have to go through the trouble of manually downloading a graphics driver or other software update.
The issue, which affected systems with cards like the RTX 3080 and RTX 3060 Ti, was seemingly caused by a recent Discord update. It kept GPUs from reaching their maximum memory clocks, missing by around 200Mhz. That came with a slight performance penalty when playing games, which isnāt exactly ideal given that Discord is made to help you talk to friends while gaming.

The best deals on 4K TVs
Weāve got deals on all sorts of TVs, ranging from affordable (yet feature-packed) models to high-end OLED and Mini LEDs that can really wow you. | Photo by Chris Welch / The Verge
The future looks bright for those who are looking to nab a great TV in 2023 at a substantial discount. Although a fresh slate of new models was announced at CES 2023, it might be a while until many of them arrive ā and even longer before they receive a discount. However, you donāt have to wait until later this year to land a great deal on a mid- or high-end TV from Sony, LG, TCL, or Samsung, as many models of the flagship models from last year are currently selling for hundreds of dollars less than their original list price.
Right now, there are a number of discounted 4K TVs to choose from, spanning a wide variety of prices, size configurations, and feature sets. Whether you want a secondary TV for the bedroom or a high-end OLED thatās...

The shutdowns are a reminder of the challenges facing these ambitious online titles.

The cloud is adorned with red shapes and streaks, and set against a black background heavily dotted with colorful specks. Near our lower left sits the oval-shaped, sky-blue cloud pixelated with white dots. This is the center of the combined galaxy cluster. Shooting out of the giant cluster, angled toward our upper-middle right, is a straight, thin red line. This is a jet; a stream of particles blasting away from a giant black hole. A second, much shorter jet, crosses the tip of the first jet near the right hand side of the image. In the giant cluster, on the right hand side, are several irregular shapes. One resembles a bright white bean with a red outline. Beside it is a tangle of overlapping red shapes dangling out the bottom of the cloud. These are filaments, the result of jets interacting with gas. Three other irregular red filaments can be found to our left, just outside of the giant cluster. At the upper right hand edge of the oval-shaped giant cluster are sweeping sheets of red, which resemble lapping flames or licks of red hair. These relics are the results of shockwaves, likely generated by the collision of gas from the different clusters. (remote)
