Script to disable NV Boost
Posted: Sun Oct 18, 2015 5:54 pm
Yes, it is possible to disable the boost function. I fold occasionally on Windows with a GPU and I use NVIDIA Inspector to switch my GPU from a power state P0 to a lower power state P2 where the boost is not active. Then for the P2 state I set my preferred OC which is 1200 MHz and the GPU is running constantly with this frequency. I even wrote a script for a command line so I do not have to use NVIDIA Inspector's GUI.toTOW wrote:Is it even possible to disable boost function (or any dynamic management of voltage and frequency) ?
It would be so easier if we could get back to the old behaviour of the hardware ... it was easier to control what was happeing.
I can share my script which supports many different Performance Levels with many frequencies:
