High power draw at idle on rx 6000 card when using two monitor

Now that idle power consumption has been fix on rx 7000 card, can we expect something about this issue on the rx 6000 card, i have a 6950xt and when i only connect 1 monitor i have between 5-8 power usage on idle, but when i connect 2 monitor i'm between 40-44.

Is this something that is being worked on or it is supposed to stay like this with those card ?

I have this issue it is because the memory clock goes super high when two high refresh rate monitors are connected it sucks

I have 2 1440p display port monitors, if they're both at 60hz idle power is 5-7w. If one of them is at 61hz or higher, idle power rises to 30w. If I lower the resolution to 1080p and increase refresh rate idle power stays at 5-7w.

GPU: RX6700 XT on Windows 11 and the latest driver 23.11.1, the issue still hasn't been fixed. AMD doesn't seem to care.. we should all RMA our GPUs until they fix it.
