Hi,
I am quite new to running a home server and have just set it up in the last couple months. I am a uni student who is just experimenting and noticed an issue with the power draw of the GPU in the system.
System Specs:
- CPU: 3600x
- GPU: RTX 2070
- RAM: 32gb 3600mhz
- Storage: 1tb NVME SSD, 250gb Sata SSD
- OS: Ubuntu Server 24.04
When idling, the GPU is using 22W constantly. It is in P8 power state and has no processes running on it. I have tried multiple different things but cannot find a fix. See nvidia-smi output below

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
