    Hi, there is a fast (mean a right click on a tray icon) to force my GPU to run at 2D settings speed (or maybe on demand when i like to play)?

    I'm asking this because using GPU-Z i can see random and totally useless switch of the board to the max frequency (heavy 3D), even doing nothing. And I watch so much 720p/1080p content which run very smooth at 100/100 clock speed thanks to the GPU acceleration, so I'd like to force it and maintain the system cool and silent.

    I already tried "PowerMizer Manager", but it's not so fast and changing it cause a great screen flicker.

    Thanks very much. :)
