    I was doing some tweaking with a few games earlier and I changed a setting in Nvidia Control Panel I have not adjusted since I got my M15x. When I turned Thread Optimization on I noticed I gained a few FPS in the bad co beta. Also another option I had not messed with in Nvidia control panel was Power Management Mode. The default mode was adaptive so I changed it to prefer max. performance. Does that mean NCP will override my power management settings in windows and give the GPU max power all the time? If someone could elaborate on these two features I would appreciate it, a quick google awarded me no current information on threaded optimzation so I'm not even sure what it does.

    *Edit: If this doesnt belong in the AW forum please move it, I just thought some of the users here might know if the Power Management mode might affect the throttling issue some M15x users have experienced.
