Improve CPU for Gaming - Power Plan High Performance VS Balanced Comparison The Last of Us Part 1 PC
I believe this only works when you are GPU bound, so it will force CPU to work better, you can check the "CPU FPS" on top of the screen to see the efficiency of FPS based only on CPU . Huge improvement on CPU, which improves frametime a lot and 1% Low.
To be clear, it wont make difference in all games, but sometimes it will, i just tested on Death Stranding and it runs the same on balanced or high performance (probably because Death Stranding runs much better on GTX 1060 so it uses much more CPU, so even on balanced it increases CPU usage to maximum), and this trick also worked on Hogwarts Legacy (in GPU bound areas that doesn't use much CPU)
