    Can anybody tell me where I can find the old PowerMizer settings? In the newer nVidia drivers I see no powermizer settings in the drivers option :(

    I want my notebook GPU to perform max even on battery.

    You can get around PowerMizer by using a modified INF from laptopvideo2go, but that gives you the option only to disable it on A/C (plugged in). If you want to completely disable it altogether, you could try PowerMizer Switch found here: http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=273276

    I've had no success with that switch application, however. YMMV.

    I think the newer drivers dont have more the PowerMizer settings. It can only be diasabled by changing registry keys, search in the google and you'll see :D

    The modified INF from LV2G injects PowerMizer into the Nvidia Control Panel, which bypasses the need for modifying the registry (at least for disabling it on A/C).

    Under the recent 195.55 drivers there's also a Power Management Mode entry, I'm not sure if thats what the LV2G inf calls it, or what entry it's under. Ettornio might be able to answer that.
