RTX3070 driver version 460.79 Nvidia control panel power management mode "Adaptive" and "Optimal power" replaced by "Custom" ?

[222feb23]

I'm just update my driver from version 457.51 to 460.79, when i'm going to control panel to setup some settings i see that "adaptive" and "optimal power" been replaced with "custom" the option "prefer maximum performence" still there, is this a bug of new version or new feature or my system have problems ?

 

My system:
6600 non-K

16Gb ram

Gigabyte 3070 gaming oc

Aorus AP850GM psu

Sounds like a new feature. Leaving it at, is generally better in most cases:

That's not what he is talking about. You're talking about the performance/quality slider.

OP is talking about performance/efficiency setting under "manage 3d settings".

 

Seems like a new feature to customize it more to the user's liking. I'd set "prefer maximum performance" either way.

I know.... As I said in most cases, leaving it at default will yield the best results. If you set it to 'prefer maximum performance' you set it at 'use the advanced 3D image settings'

I mean "power management mode" in Manage 3D settings not Adjust image settings

I know. When you change that, you'll change adjust image settings to use the advanced 3D image settings....

Seem like they just removed adaptive. And called optimal power, *normal*. If you want the other thing I think you must roll back to the older version.

And what does custom do? I don't see a screen of that? 

 

this seems overall like a pretty terrible change because "prefer maximum performance" always boosts even while idling whereas "adaptive" actually only boosts when it's under load... long standing "bug" maybe they fixed it but without more info I doubt it.

Isn't "Adaptive" supposed to be a laptop setting anyway?  Desktops don't need that setting.

Interesting. I'm running that version of the driver but still have the 'Adaptive' setting (which I use because max performance doesn't always idle the card correctly).

 

Do the settings change based on GPU installed? I'm using a 1080 instead of a 30xx series. I wouldn't expect them to depend on installed card, but you never know.

I think it a bug because the "460.79 nvidia control panel quick start guide" still have show "adaptive" and "optimal power"
