It doesn't make a difference like you think it does. Run the system in balanced power saving mode.

I don't like 2D games...I just couldn't get into them.. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

As far as I checked it only messes with sleep and monitor settings.
EDIT: On high performance mode it messes with CPU minimum state. It sets it to 100%. Use balanced mode

Laptop: Acer V3-772G  CPU: i5 4200M GPU: GT 750M SSD: Crucial MX100 256GB
Desktop: CPU: R7 1700x GPU: RTX 2080 SSD: Samsung 860 Evo 1TB

Intelligent people use balanced.

 

High performance doesn't really improve performance while at the same time stopping your CPU/GPU from slowing while idle.

In high performance power mode you computer will be louder and hotter basically, while drawing more power and (potentially) shortening some components life span as a result.
