Previous i mentioned that i changed my high performance plan settings to match the ultimate one without knowing it even existed, So yeah it is the same for me as turbo was already set to always enable in high performance:)
Yup i didnt need to do any of of this other than run the code in CMD, ran benchmarks between the two modes, Same result, Checked settings individually, All the same, So if it doesn't perform the same if i change all the settings manually, Why can i change all the settings manually? My cpu is always set to run at 100%. Hard drives never turn off, Screens never turn off etc, So if all are the same, Is it lying to me that theyre not or..
Yeah im running 5.1 on all cores at all times on either high performance or ultimate plan.
Yes, sorry, I previously had an i3 3220 and I upgraded to the i7 3770. My mistake.
Wait, I meant to say Ultimate Performance Plan. My bad...
That code works but the Power Plan will only show up if the system is configured for S3 Sleep and not S0 Modern Standby which is what more recent BIOSes are pushing.
Yes, that's because you are on a desktop or a system that still had S3 sleep supported in the BIOS while for those who have BIOSes that specify S0 Modern Sleep, the High Performance and Ultimate Performance power plans won't show up until you turn off the Modern Standby using the registry key. Google says that the Ultimate Performance Plan is really a placebo as they said the registry keys which stores the settings is identical when they modified their High Performance to Ultimate Plan settings so I don't really know because remember @spapakons did say that one has Turbo Boost always enabled and the other doesn't have that same option. It's hard to tell since even with my i8750H which is a 2.2Ghz CPU, it's doing 3.2Ghz on all 6 cores and not the 4.1Ghz turbo boost speeds. I normally don't mess with the built in plans but make a copy of it and then just modify the copy instead and I am pushing approximately 500 processes. Ofcourse this is a notebook and it could be the temperatures that is causing the throttling for all I know as unlike desktops, it's running between 80C-95C at all times.
I rarely use my notebook beyond my table except maybe once a few years for days when traveling so Ultimate Performance is fine for now as I am using PC primary and rarely use the battery. As for the Turbo Boost speed, I thought the Turbo Boost speed listed in the specs is only when a single core is used but when multiple cores are used, the max speeds on each core is lower than the single core speed. With this notebook, people were hitting the same temps as I am even using the balanced power plan.
My cpu came with turbo enabled off the bat and to be fair, ive never had one come with it being defaulted to off, I think this depends on if youre running the power saver plan.
I have a 2011 HP notebook that came the same way. I did eventually replace the 2gb stick with another 4gb but it worked fine in the original configuration. It's the HP dv6-6140US model with the first generation AMD APU called Llano.
