Nvidia equivalent to AMD Game Profiles

Is there an nvidia equivalent to AMD's game profile creator?

This is exactly what I want: to be able to apply clocks on a per game basis rather than one setting for all.

 

Not that I've found.

 

shame because it's a good idea.

 

1- Use Nvidia Inspector and create .exe for different clocks
2- Use microsoft task scheduler to execute the .exe file for certain clocks with the trigger being the the game you want to apply the clocks too (it's launcher or .exe or whatever).

It's a crude way but will get the job done.

 

if i do it that way then what's the trigger condition?

 

Opening the game application I imagine. Though closing the game may not revert back to stock clocks meaning you'd be stuck with the OC until you launch another game or manually change the clocks.

 

I tried this and it seems to be working:

https://superuser.com/questions/745318/how-to-start-a-program-when-another-one-is-started

the reverse could be done for process termination. I also had to make sure the process was configured for win 10.

EDIT: yep, i can do the reverse and revert to stock clocks on application exit. that means if an app were to be written it would need to enabled window's event auditing and monitor for specfic event IDs that pertain to a process creation or process termination.

Process Creation

Code:

<QueryList>
  <Query Id="0" Path="Security">
    <Select Path="Security">
     *[System[Provider[@Name='Microsoft-Windows-Security-Auditing'] and Task = 13312 and (band(Keywords,9007199254740992)) and (EventID=4688)]]
   and
     *[EventData[Data[@Name='NewProcessName'] and (Data='D:\WindowsApps\Microsoft.OpusPG_1.0.77.2_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe\forza_x64_release_final.exe')]]
    </Select>
  </Query>
</QueryList>

Process Termination

Code:

<QueryList>
  <Query Id="0" Path="Security">
    <Select Path="Security">
     *[System[Provider[@Name='Microsoft-Windows-Security-Auditing'] and Task = 13313 and (band(Keywords,9007199254740992)) and (EventID=4689)]]
   and
     *[EventData[Data[@Name='ProcessName'] and (Data='D:\WindowsApps\Microsoft.OpusPG_1.0.77.2_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe\forza_x64_release_final.exe')]]
    </Select>
  </Query>
</QueryList>

 

Yup it is done both ways opening for overclock and closing for normal clocks. One other option is to use autohotkey and set key combo for each clock profile (inspector clock.exe) and use that as switching mechanism.

But I personally use task scheduler as it automates things for me

 

It works with even UWP apps provided you have full access to the WindowsApps folder.

EDIT: I've exported the tasks so I can go into the text editor and change the app and task name to any other game.

the clock change is delayed a bit but it still changes to back to stock on exit.

 

All you need to do is follow the instructions in the link. When you get to the XML modification section, copy and paste the code samples in. Obviously you'll need to change the Data value to the file path of the exe you want it to target so you'll need two tasks per application.

shame you can't do bulk exporting of scheduled tasks.

EDIT: In step 5 you'll need to change the Event ID from 4688 (Process creation) to 4689 when creating the exit task. These Event IDs are in the code samples.

Windows, by default, is not set up to check for process creation and termination events. And in order for the trigger to work you must set this to enabled. When you create the task you ask it to check for the Event ID (4688 or 4689) but it won't know what application you are specifically targeting and hence the modified XML. The modified XML adds an extra rule to search for the event ID made by the targeted app and from there you can add the trigger to run nvidia inspector and the settings generated from a saved nvidia inspector shortcut.

I tried this with Forza Horizon 3 and it works a treat.

I wonder if an OR condition would work so you'd only be updating two tasks.
