I then realised that after my recent driver update the Nvidia control panel power management mode was set to Optimal power rather than my usual Prefer maximum. Normally I would see the GPU Core clock speed at 1980 Mhz all the time and the GPU Core % around 80-85% & temps about 70C in that type of scenery.Īs you can see it shows the core running at 1230Mhz with 95% and the temps down at 53C. Taking a look at Open hardware monitor I saw thisįor those of you not familair with open hardware monitor, the first column is the current value, the 2nd column the minimum and the 3rd column the Max value recorded. Assuming you got your NVidia GPU driver installed, you can go to your Desktop, right-click, and then select NVidia Control. 06:38 PM Setting 'Power management mode' from Adaptive to Maximum Performance Setting Power management mode from 'Adaptive' to 'Maximum Performance' can improve performance in certain applications when the GPU is throttling the clock speeds incorrectly resulting in low fps. I thought maybe it was due to the amounts of cloud being rendered etc… But when I finally flew into some clear areas with only a few clouds on the horizon it was still showing 95-99%. I was up at 11,000 feet with live weather on with lots of clouds. Today I was flying along over the Swiss alps in my Cessna Caravan and noticed my GPU was pegged at 95-99% core usage. I know a lot of people advocate running GPU at 100% but I don’t agree with that, and prefer to have a little bit of spare capacity for when I go into more demanding areas and it keeps my GPU about 7C lower in temp than 100%. This usually sees me running with about 80-85% GPU core usage and temps about 65-75C. I usually have my FPS limited to 33fps (more recently at 40fps with last Nvidia driver) in the Nvidia control panel and have Vsync set to fast in there also. If you want, you can go to your Nvidia control panel, go to programs, and set the program specific power management setting for GTA V to maximum performance, though I doubt that is likely to improve performance in any way, the game already pushes the GPU pretty hard as it is, and the optimal settings should give you the best clockspeeds possible already. I keep a close eye on my CPU & GPU performance (using open hardware monitor software) after trying a bit of tweaking or after driver updates etc… Like many suggestions I’ve seen in posts elsewhere on this forum I’ve always had it set to Prefer maximum performance.

I’ve just been experimenting with the Power managment mode in the Nvidia control panel.īear with me on this one, it’s a lengthy example but I’d welcome any thoughts on this, and it may be of help to some of you.
