![]() F ind the "power management mode" setting and select "Prefer maximum performance". In the "Add" menu, select "World of Tanks" or any other game/program on your PC.Ħ. Click on the "program Settings" tab and then the "Add" button.ĥ. You are done! If you want to make this change for only WoT or other games individually skip to step 4.Ĥ. If you want to make these changes Globally to all of your games and applications, find the "power management mode" setting in the "Global Settings" tab and select "Prefer maximum performance". Click on "Manage 3D Settings" in the left column.ģ. Open The Nvidia Control Panel by right clicking on your desktop.Ģ. ![]() For those of you who don't know what I'm talking about, I've prepared a little tutorial below:ġ. Turning on maximum performance mode locks the GPUs clock frequency at its maximum, in my case 1215MHz, unless of course the card is using too much power or is becoming overheated. I must have set the power management mode to prefer maximum preformance at some point in the past without realizing the implications.įixing the problem was as simple as adjusting the power management mode in the Nvidia Control Panel. Installing the update must have reset my Nvidia Control Panel Settings. This resulted in the 18fps that I was seeing. When I had SLI enabled, the usage of my GPUs was even lower, ~30%, and the clock frequency was throttled even lower. What I found was that while I was playing back and recording the replay, my GPUs clock frequency was not at its mximum of 1215MHz, instead it was getting throttled to something like 840MHz. This was irritating to say the least, so I investigated further. But, I was still getting frame rate drops down to the lower 20s despite my GPU and CPU usage being ~60% and ~50% respectively. My first thought was, since I use SLI, that WG broke SLI support again, so I tried disabling SLI while recording and this seemed to fix the problem (in retrospect this was not actually the problem). When 9.7 came along, I found that my replays would no longer record at 30fps, instead they would drop to 18 and lower while recording. ![]() You can honestly skip this part, but for those who are curious/bored.Īs some of you may know, I've been recording games and putting them on youtube and adding them to my thread in the Purple Poaster Replay Place. I started doing this in version 9.6, and I found that I could record games at 1080p at an unwavering 30fps with the game settings maxed out. This seems counter intuitive, "How can changing settings on my GPU help me with a CPU bottle-neck?" But, because your GPU isn't being used near the edge of its ability, your system may be throttling its frequency which could be limiting your FPS even further than the CPU bottleneck already was. Since this game is highly single threaded, that is likely a large portion of people. This will work especially well for people who are bottle-necked by their CPU.
