Power Management Mode: I'd actually recommend against "Maximum Performance" if you have a very hot power hungry Nvidia GPU model (1080Ti, 2080Ti, 3080/Ti/3090, etc).
This is a really, really old guide but one that users here may find worth reading, as most explanations there still apply today (if biased towards personal opinion of the author), even though the GPUs are way(!!) more potent today if compared to those at the time it was written: I'd say better leave those at default settings, though of course that is open to personal preference. It was the case before DCS adopted EDGE graphics engine (prior to 2015, when that setting made sense for it) but not anymore or since.ĪA Gamma Correction at "OFF", Texture Filtering Quality at "Performance" and Negative Lod Bias at "Clamp", are of negligible effect (if any, at all) in performance for DCS, likely at detrimental cost of image quality. Something that is only welcome for games that are very old and/or really CPU limited (with the GPU very underutilized), when a few stutters and drops happen for that reason, not being demanding enough for the graphics card to be in the highest power state (just on the threshold of 60 fps in the lower states). What the "Maximum Performance" does is making your GPU force/increase a higher power state (as to not downclock as often). "Optimal Performance" is the prefered/recommended option (and why is set by default) for graphics intensive games, which as of today includes DCS World. Power Management Mode: I'd recommend against "Maximum Performance", especially if with a very hot power hungry Nvidia GPU model (1080Ti, 2080Ti, 3080/Ti/3090, etc). Just a heads up regarding some of those settings. here are screen shots in case it helps anyone. i went through my specific DCS settings and made the changes to match what i could. i went through settings video, and even some shown were different.
#How to change power management mode nvidia drivers#
Strongest man in the world can't lift much while balancing on one leg, yet a kid with half his strength standing on two feet, will lift more than he can.I noticed that when i updated my drivers to 511.23, there were some settings differences. You'll get more out of moderation across everything than pushing maximums in some things. With that in mind, maxing out power limits can be detrimental to performance because now power isn't as much a limited factor, which can stress other components, allow too much amperage or voltage use, create more heat, which raises resistances in inductors etc. So even if temps are good in the nemory, voltages might be high on the gpu or in the VRM's or you might have hit physical limits in the caps or inductors etc.
The clocks will stop boosting up when some component reaches what the card considers its max tolerance. You'll see boosting upto a certain amount but that's governed by multiple things, not just temps in one area like memory, but also the gpu, the gpu voltages, VRM's, power limits, etc. The guides are a guide, a tool, not Gospel or Canon, and don't necessarily work the same on different cards.īoost clocks are an OC, by the factory, so there's no guarantee of any one particular speed. If they immediately drop, power limit isn't the issue, something else is holding the card and you aren't seeing maximum applicable Boost, which could be gpu temps, airflow, memory clocks, gpu voltage etc. If scores maintain, or go up, keep dropping power limit until you peak out and scores start dropping. I'd use TimeSpy to test the card, starting with max power limit, then start dropping it slowly and testing in between.
Setting max power limits increases voltages and amperage (ie Power) and often that will be detrimental to Gpu Boost as temps will throttle performance. And that's not the only game that does that, but is a more extreme case. Even a 100% power limit set on the card shows averages closer to 107%-109%.
If you OC your card to 107% power limit, then play Amazon's New World, you'll cook your card if it doesn't immediately throttle down as power limits will see North of 120%. They only apply to specific things, not a general use case.
