When monitor goes to sleep, F@H slows down?

[Lays]

Hi, I noticed if I tell windows to put my screens to sleep it downclocks my gpu into P5 state (i believe this is power saving mode) and greatly slows down my folding progress.

From their site, is this at all related?

The software uses several different methods for determining if the system is idle. In Windows, if there’s no user input on the mouse or keyboard for a while (the exact timing depends on the system’s configuration) the FAH screensaver can activate, the power management settings can turn off the monitor, or Windows can decide that it’s in “away mode”, whichever comes first. In Mac OS X, the system is idle if there’s no user activity for around five minutes. In Linux, the screensaver and a lack of user input are used to determine idleness.

Anyone know how to fix this? I have two 27 inch 1440p monitors and they face directly towards my bed, its really hard to sleep with them on....

Specs in signature, im on windows 10.

U go to power options and set it to high performance. Then set display turn off in as less time as possible. Also turn of the monitor manually if you want full power savings. GPU won't be slowed again

I've never encountered this issue but I also have my monitors facing my bed, I just manually turn them off as the light from the LEDs are enough to bother me anyway. There may be something in the power management controls that could help you.

The high performance setting didn't fix it, but I remembered Precision X has "k boost" that forces the gpu into its max speeds and locks it there.

That fixed it!

Might want to mark the thread as solved so in 3 years time when someone else has the same issue with Precision they can hopefully find this thread more easily.

The problem wasn't with precision X, precision x was the solution

Marked solved doe.
