For context - I have a 5080 and was trying to overclock it, which seemed to go well. Then I tried to undervolt it slightly, but ultimately decided to revert back to manually boosting the core speed. However, now GpuZ (and Hwinfo similarly) is constantly showing VRel as a performance limiter even when my computer is idle. I tried reversing MSI Afterburner to defaults but it’s still there.

Does anyone know why this would be happening? Did something somehow break?
