Hey there. Back on team green due to my needs for VR and happy with my RTX2080 so far.
I have gotten a nice OC on my Asus ROG Strix. After running a bunch a benches and playing with RAM vs. Core OC I settled on a solid setting. I then decided to check out the Nvidia control panel and adjust the often recommended -Power management mode- From the stock "adaptive" to " "prefer maximum performance".
Upon further benching I immediately notice that the core clock was lower and would continue to drop. Now my power target is maxed at %124, and I have left the mV at stock. Returning the setting to "adaptive" and my clocks went right back up.
I noticed a similar effect in that when I pushed my core beyond a certain point, the card accepts it, but my benches will show a drop in min-fps, and a stagnation in max-fsp.
What is "prefer maximum performance" doing that it does not add performance but in my case, instant throttling?
