511.23 a bad driver?

It seems that a lot of GPU problems revolve around specific versions of drivers. Though NVidia has their own support structure, you can often learn from information reported by others who fold.

After Clean install of Windows 11
build 22581 October 2022 update (22H2) and installing latest studio driver 511.65 or 512.15
I am now facing this issue on 2 different systems.
both used to boost till 1965MHz now they reach 1530MHz (1660 Super) and 1200MHz (RTX3050) with 100% utilization.
What should I do

On my 3070 I noticed that if I pause the wu on this driver that when I resume work. It would only run my gpu up to about 1/3 it's potential frequency. So instead of running ~1800MHz. It would only run ~750MHz. I dropped from ~3M PPD to ~1M PPD. Restarting the client didn't fix it. I reinstalled the client. Didn't fix it. I noticed starting GPU-Z caused the error to self correct for a very short time, but then it would go right back. So I DDU'd the system, and rolled my drivers back to 472.12 because I knew that F@H worked fine on that driver with my card.

Some applications using GPU acceleration could cause this (Slack, Discord, web browser, ...) ... to avoid this, I always "Prefer maximum performance" in NV control panel instead of the default setting of power management setting.
