Nvidia power management mode optimal power power saving driver#
The following follows from this question - which games does Nvidia Control Panel consider old? Posted by boeing2992: Power management mode optimal missing I don't know about OP but this driver and the couple previous misbehave when the 'normal' power option is selected.(on my 3080) Normally my 3080 default clocks to 1785mhz and boosts to 1950mhz but on normal it goes from 1000mhz-1950mhz erratically. But the question arises - how exactly to find out in which old games you need to set this setting, if the difference cannot be immediately felt and seen. The Maximum Performance parameter (whether we are playing a game, watching a video, searching for information on the Internet, just being in standby/afk mode) always maintains frequencies at a high level, which means that in older games this setting can help.

In this case, the Optimal setting can simply "fall asleep" without taking into account the game and think that this is a normal application that does not need to allocate resources to increase and maintain the frequency

But in old games that may not load as much or as much as a processor with a video card. People who recommend it say that there is nothing terrible about it for games and it may even be better for performance.īut there are other people who claim that in new games that can maximize the load on the processor and video card, this mode may not affect anything much. Hello! Few days ago I watched a few videos and read a couple of topics where people recommend setting the Optimal parameter in Power Management mode instead of Maximum Performance.
