I built a small utility to automatically adjust the GPU Power limit when folding (and when not folding).
Windows x64 only for now, I can investigate whether NVIDIA API allows to run on other platforms as well.
Beta release - use at your own risk! I have it myself running on 3 systems with RTX 3080 and RTX 2070 cards without issues.
Currently it only works on NVIDIA cards, but if someone points me to right direction (and someone voluntaires for testing), I can try to build support for AMD cards too.
TLDR; By default it sets GPU Power Limit to 72% when folding and to 100% when not folding. Values are configurable, but not all cards support all values.

Re: GPU Power Adjuster (when folding)
Welcome to the F@H Forum Kalcomx,
Thanks for creating the tool. While I haven't tested it, I did notice that you're only focusing on FahCore_22 which is the currently used one but you may also want to add FahCore_21 as it hasn't been depreciated yet.

Re: GPU Power Adjuster (when folding)
Although I fold on linux and haven't tried your program, this seems like a great idea.
5800X + 4090 + Win11 | 5600X+ 3070 + 3070 + 2060 + Ubuntu 20.04 | 5600X + 3080 Ti + 3060 Ti + Ubuntu 20.04
Re: GPU Power Adjuster (when folding)
Thanks for pointing that out. That part of the tool is configurable, so it can be modified by the end-user as well. But I look forward to add that automatically as well.PantherX wrote:Welcome to the F@H Forum Kalcomx,

The current one won't work in Linux (it's .net core that runs on Linux, but its bin-package-built specifically for win-x64 now). I can try to see if I can get it to run and then get some voluntaires for testing it out.
