This may be a common issue for everyone, but I would like to ensure a long life for my new GTX 970. Basically, if any metro app (PC Settings, Store, Calc, Lockscreen etc.) is running, even in the background, my GPU core/Memory will shoot up and lock at standard clocks as opposed to low power mode.
Does it do this for everyone, or perhaps is it a power setting issue?
It's not a huge deal to close the apps, but I have the lockscreen enable on its own, so the PC will just stay in this state 100% of the time when not being used.
Thanks
