Hey guys, this has been driving me insane the past week or so. Does anyone know how to disable Powermizer with the 185.81 drivers running Win7 RC x64? I've tried the Powermizer switch and NV GPU Pro apps and they do not work. There is no option in the Nvidia Control Panel and the registry keys do not exist.

Only way I've discovered so far is to just plug it into an outlet. It auto engages powermizer when it's running on batteries. Actually now that I think about it, try changing the power settings to high performance while on batteries. Depending on how's it's triggered it might work(most likely not but worth a try).

Thanks. It is using powermizer on AC, though.

Did you load Vista drivers? I see you're running 185.85 but the only 7 drivers I'm aware of are 181.71 It might be because I'm using 32bit and youre on 64, but more likely is the driver version. Try to revert back to the WDDM 1.1 Drivers and not the WDDM 1.0 ones used by Vista. If that still fails try using nVidia system tools to change the clock speeds manually. Do that last as I doubt it'll work. When Powermizer is on for me the clocks are locked and I cant change them but it doesnt hurt to try if everything else fails

Just try the new version of PowerMizer Switch
It will create the registry keys in case they are missing and the driver still seems to use them.

I'm using Win7 beta on a Dell Latitude D830 (Nvidia Quadro NVS 140M) and successfully running this with driver version 7.15.11.7924 or 179.24 as reported by nvidia system information.
However, even specifying not to ever use powermizer (while on a/c) it still kicks on when hitting 85 deg. dropping from 400/400 to 275/199.
Any ideas? =\ -

I'm experiencing the same issue on the same system but only on one of my GPUs in SLI.
As soon as I start a 3D program my 2nd GPU locks at the highest frequencies for 10-20s then downclocks even if the temp is really low. In my case PowerMizer Switch only worked for 1 GPU -
Closed by request.
