Sure, adaptive could be nice to keep temps down on idle, but from what I've read it doesn't work properly in some games. And that is most likely caused by the power management being set to adaptive. I get freezes in World of Warcraft for example. With that said, If I leave the Nvidia settings to defaults, I get bad results in some games. It's not that I go in there and just change settings to see what it does. I do it for troubleshooting. I appreciate your tips, but first of all, I know very well what each setting in Nvidia control panel are for. *But only if you know exactly what those changes would be If you would post the "games" that you are playing, you might or might not want to make changes to the above. I suggest using the following settings with your hardware levels (*note the below is for using (1) monitor) I highly recommend that you go thru the program tabs and hit the "RESET" button, then after you have erased the "Program Tab" settings changes you made, reset the Global tab to defaults. You have outstanding hardware levels, driver tweaking is really unneeded unless your playing very old games bro Once you start messing around with the settings -without knowing exactly what you are doing, and how that setting will efffect other progarms and games- you are asking for all kinds of problems and issues. Unless your playing a single game thats -really- important to you (that you would "need" to setup the NVCP settings special) then DEFAULT NVCP and Program settings is preferable, and all the in-game options will be available and worrk correctly using the "profiles" contained in the Nvidia driversets. With such a awesome hardware setup like yours, you really shouldnt be making any changes in the NVCP other than setting your Monitors up correctly. And it seems alot more easy to change the global setting to maximum performance, and then set Windows programs to adaptive rather than changing the setting for every game.Ģx EVGA GTX 580 Classified in SLI, Nvidia driver 304.79 betaĤx4GB Corsair Dominator GT 2133MHz quad channelĪny setting in the "Global Tab" will overide most settings in the "Program Tabs". Is this a bug? If not, it seems pointless to have a program tab where one can set specific program overrides when only the global settings will take effect anyway.įor those of you who are asking why I want to set it to maximum performance is because I have noticed periodic, short freezes in games if I leave it on adaptive. The only way I can get my card to downclock is by setting it to adaptive globally. An example, I set it to prefer maximum performance in the global tab, and then set it to adaptive for Internet Explorer and Windows Explorer, the card doesn't downclock at all on idle. If I set power management mode - prefer maximum performance in the global tab, my card will never downclock on idle even if I set it to adaptive for some programs in the program settings tab. So I was playing around with the settings in Nvidia control panel, and here's what I noticed
