That setting is more important when you are with laptop or some other mainly battery operated device. Then changing power plan and stuff makes more sense. On desktop it should be on high performance. It will prioritize CPU use and maybe use bit more electricity. But overall its better.

Hi everyone,
I just noticed my pc has the 'balanced' power options actived and not to high performance. Is it normal to have it on? 

Thanks!

Yes, Balanced is the default and recommended setting, You'll see the performance benefits of high performance mode but won't use as much energy when the system is not under load through downclocking.

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