NVIDIA Discord Workaround

NVIDIA Support offers a workaround for gamers who own NVIDIA graphics cards and run Discord. Users on Reddit and the Linus Tech Tips forum noticed a recent Discord update causes memory clock speeds to drop by up to 200 MHz (thanks The Verge). A fix is in the works, but in the meantime, there's a workaround that involves a manual settings edit. In short:
Issue:
After a recent update to the Discord app, users may notice that the graphics card memory clocks will not reach full speeds when launching a game.

Solution:
A fix will be pushed to users PCs via an over the air update at a later date. If you do not receive the update or if you wish to apply the fix manually, you may do so by following the instructions below:

An over the air update? My PC is not a cellular telephone, last I checked.

I assume they mean the patch will be pushed out via GForce Experience, which I refuse to install, unless they mean that Discord will be pushing out an update, which seems more likely (see below):

With our ridiculously fast GPUs nowadays, hilarious how people feel losing 200 MHz on their GPU clock is the end of the world. I can assure you, you'll never notice it.

FYI I looked into it and it's apparently due to Discord using some of the CUDA cores related to Discord's streaming feature, which it should only do when streaming, so I don't understand why this is an NVidia problem and not a Discord problem. Thus why I think that NVidia meant that Discord would be pushing out a patch.

All that utility does is allow you to block Discord from using CUDA cores. I wouldn't bother, and just wait for a Discord update.

WTF is tweaking the SLI settings fixing anything when people don't even have SLI?

Later date "over the air updates" requires hardware only available on the RTX 4000 series.

Others will have to wait for the postman to deliver PCGamer magazine in the hopes that the included CD-ROM, full of demos, contains the patch.

Why is Discord even changing video card setting in the first place?
