Hey there, there's a problem that I have been noticing ever since last year that only happens when running SL (using whatever was the latest version of both the official and Firestorm at the time). It started time ago, when I noticed that every time I ran the second life viewer, after closing it, my video card would not go back to its default idle clocks but instead, keep running in 3d clocks. Nothing seemed to fix this short of reinstalling the drivers (which is something that gets rather annoying to do everytime you launch the viewer) at which point the card would correctly change its clock accordingly to what I was doing with the computer in a given moment until I ran the second life viewer again, point in which the card would get stuck on its 3d clocks again. I decided to investigate this further and I downloaded a handy tool called Nvidia inspector that amongst the many things it does, it allows you to give a more in-depth look at the various game profiles built in inside the drivers. Second life has its own entry in there but there's something very strange that takes place. When you open nvidia inspector and click on the spanner and screwdriver button right of the driver version number, it will show then the various settings for the various games. There's a standard profile that the driversr employ everytime you ain't doing anything with your computer that is labeled atop as "_GLOBAL_DRIVER_PROFILE (Base Profile)" then on the drop down menu, there's a hundred of other profiles for various games/programs. The drivers usually do recognize the .exe file that is being opened up and, if present in that database, they switch to the profile accordingly to ensure best compatibility and performance for that app. However, if you inspect that window AFTER running second life, you will find that somehow "_GLOBAL_DRIVER_PROFILE (Base Porifle)" has been changed to "_GLOBAL_DRIVER_PROFILE (Second Life)" and, the secondlife.exe is now attached to it, despite the game having its own entry in the profiles. This causes also a bunch of settings to be changed in the default profile including the "preferred power state" that is changed to "prefer max performance" which is what effectively causes the card to not downclock after shutting down the client, because rather than switching to its own profile, secondlife.exe prefers to attach itself to the default one. This also makes the card unable to switch to other profiles should you decide to run something that is not SL thus leading to degraded performance in other applications/games. I've observed this behavior since around mid 2014 and until then It has happened over two TOTALLY different hardware configurations, 3 different video cards (all of them nvidia obviously) and countless forceware/viewer versions. Is this bug acknowledged somewhere and if so, is there a fix already or is one in the works?
