remember to change the power management in the NVCPL from Optimal to either Adaptive or High Performance

 

Thanks, it was set to Optimal. I just tried a round with the settings on ultra and it did got to higher usage.

 

I don't understand why nCrapia has Optimal as the default setting. Every time someone complains about low performance, it's because they have their power management on Optimal. Optimal puts the GPU @ 0 MHz when there is nothing drawing on the screen and ramps the clocks when there is something going on. Sounds great on paper, works like crap

@Papusan

 

Power saving, Balanced, Optimal, Turbo boost 2 - 3, Boost clock, Hybrid boost, Battery boost or whatsoever name they put on this ****y, is pure BS!!

And you must learn the new name... Windoze Power Throttling

 

What makes it worse is that it resets itself, its a PITA

 

when? once I set it to High Performance, it never resets itself

Make sure you delete all nVIDIA Telemetry Entries using Autoruns

just type nVIDIA in the filter on the top left, then right click/delete every entry that has telemetry in it

 

Could it have been with a Windows or Nvidia update? I remember setting it to performance a while back.

 

Windows update =no
nVIDIA Update = yes if you chose clean install

 

For Gods name... Close the door!!!

Edit. If you are a gamer... Learn to tweak graphics settings in games. Install only the graphics driver and physics. If you need to record and stream you could use Mirillis Action or similar tool. Give a damn in the rest of Nvidia's package.

 

That's on my "to do" list.

 

That explains it then, I do a clean installation every time, I'll just have to remember that in addition to the Vsync/Gsync setting I reset every time.

 

My battery decreases from 89% to 85%. With conditions connected to the adapter. And finally I stopped playing games. Waiting for the battery back full

If anyone has experienced the same thing

i believe thats the normal behaviour for the battery. The laptop will "intelligently" allow the battery to run down and hten charge up but keep it around 90-95% charged to improve longevity.

 

Yes you can really do it without void any warranty.

 

Thanks guy. I'm going to try this.

What FPS monitoring software is best to use 'in game'?

I normally use the FPS counter that comes with Gforce Experience.

I tried CAM but each time I played GTA5 with CAM running, the game crashed whenever I changed any graphics settings.

So I kind of gave up with FPS overlay software.

 

Hi phoenix what do you use for fan control in overclocking the gpu. Msi gt73vr 7rf. Without dragon center.

MSI Afterburner + Riva Tuner is the best for me

 

I only use the Dragon Center

 

Ok, nevermind.

It seems that most FPS overlay software will be treated as 'cheatware' by GTA 5 and it will crash when used.

I had to add my copy of GTA 5 to my steam account and am using the FPS overlay on there, which works ok.

My problem now is how to get my DCC profile to run when starting the game from within steam. Any Ideas???

 

Yeah this was the last one I tried before adding my GTA5 to my steam account.

GTA5 just crashed on startup each time with Riva Tuner running. :0(

 

I've just started using riva tuner and msi afterburner. I've streamed mostly with GeForce experience to YouTube so far

Did you try the latest version 7 beta of riva tuner?

Did you try enabling Custom DirectX support in Riva Tuner? Or perhaps changing detection level

Personally i'm playing GTA V with RTSS on the background without issues.

 

No, I tried the latest alpha release: 6.6.0

I quite like the Steam one though.

I think I need to find the shortcut location that steam uses to launch the game and add that to my DCC.

 

Well version 7 beta is the one that works if you are running windows 10 creators edition. Would like to see more streams of people using their GT73VR 7RF's

I tried all sorts in Riva Tuner to get it work; I created a gta5 profile and altered the detection level.

Not sure if I fiddled with enabling Custom DirectX support though.

 

I'll give v.7 a go then.

Is Riva standalone software? Or do I have to get msi afterburner too?

 

+1 to this

 

Try Silent Option Fan Control.

 

Ok so... excellent.

Beta version 7 of Riva lets me start gta5 without issue. Thanks guys. :0)

But still no FPS counter on screen in-game.

I used the default settings in Riva, just as it installed. but no on-screen fps in gta5

Then I created a gta5 profile in Riva, still with default settings and still no on-screen fps in gta5.

What am I missing???

 

Nevermind, ha. Ive sussed it. Cheers guys. :0)

 

And no one uses the combo Hwinfo + RTSS? Hwinfo64 has a bunch of useful info, if you want any of this on the screen

 

My cpu 7820hk i think its not compatible with silent options. Or can it work eventhough im on kabylake?

I discovered this a few months ago and it has been a huge tuning both my gaming machines.

 

I'm not sure. You can try it and see.

 

@Phoenix @hmscott I have Correct as always
WHY INSTALL Nvidia BLOAT? Nvidia GeForce Experience security vulnerability

How to resolve the issue
"Probably the best option right now is to uninstall the Nvidia GeForce Experience client from the operating system."

 

Silent Option works perfectly with 7820hk...that is what I run...I use XTU for CPU and afterburner/riva for GPU....it works out great

 

is nahimic software worth using ? I got the cloud 2 headset which comes with 7.1 soundcard and it sounds really nice and crisp,i'm not sure if installing nahimic would provide me any benefits over just the headset.

 

Nahimic software won't work with other devices like your Cloud 2 headset w/card, you need to use their included software to drive their 7.1 card / headset.

 

Its not really true 7.1 its simulated. You could try it with the USB and without and compare the sound quality. I prefer the Headphone Amp that the laptop provides, it drives them much better imo.

 

Yeah but how do you use the mic then,cause there is only 1 connector without the 7.1 usb card.

 

I mean you can use the USB sound card that comes with the headphones just fine if you wanna keep using the mic, otherwise you'd have to get something like this.



Mic quality will stay the same (quality of the mic).
Audio quality will be a little bit better just from the headphone amp.

 

Does the Hi Impedance Headphone AMP use Nahimic? It didn't used to support the normal headphone port.

Often USB headphones only have a USB connection option. Unless the 7.1 "card" uses USB and the headphones plug into it using a standard audio connector.

 

yeah the usb card uses 3.5mm ports for audio and mic,and then you plug the card itself into the laptop via USB.

edit : there is a difference when you plug in the 3.5mm audio connector directly into the laptop,its a bit louder than when it goes over the USB card.Ill see if i can get the 2 to 1 audio cable somewhere because i have no need for virtual 7.1 sound over usb card.

 

You cant control the volume (not sure if bug) via the UI but you can control everything else like sound presets/equalizer etc...

 

anyone knows whats the trick with laptop auto arranging programs,like if u click on a program on desktop to drag it around an OSD will appear with monitor cut into sections so it places the program for you automatically into whatever section you choose.Is there an option to disable that osd ?

 

Yes, it's a True Color feature... First thing to disable!
Look in the TC settings. I don't know from memory, how the setting is called.

Edit: Was it "Desktop Partition"?

 

@Phoenix @hmscott

Awaiting delivery of a GT73VR 425 (7820HK/1080 single)
