    Hi I just installed the new drivers 14.6 my GPU.
    Before this driver my GPU would be off when windows is in power saving mode.
    But that changed when I installed the new drivers. My 7970m is always on now.

    Is there some sort of settings to turn off the GPU when in power saving mode?
    ULPS is off from what I can see in my registry.

    So this is happening with the GPU set to change behaviour based on power mode in the CCC?

    Nvm I fixed the issue. I had an application with high performance turned on set it back to power saving and Zerocore works again :)
