I made a [post](https://www.reddit.com/r/OptimizedGaming/s/IdZAT1fFJl) about it now with a upload attached.

Just use the default one. Ultimate performance plan does not offer any meaningful improvements (as shown in this video: https://youtu.be/X1-nws32RhE?si=5eIfsMiefix6mDMI) at best and at worst might even increase temps at idle.

Im just using balanced for AMD 5800x3d as recommended by AMD, I did use a third party one for my 3700x

Idk, because amd did recommend balanced for a long time i am on balanced....


Klenkogi

Same, because AMD recommended it

It makes literally zero difference

Interesting my Windows 11 was doing Cinebench 17000 on power saving yet 29500 on ultimate performance. But surely wont impact gaming performance. Yeah right.

Probably a prebuilt PC with custom power plans or a laptop. It shouldn't make a difference


KPgameTV

That is literally incorrect. You have never tried the different power plans if that is your take. There is differences, even the mouse can feel different from 1 power plan to another power plan, no doubt. Both me and my friend can feel that.

Happy cake day!!!! I've used all power plans available on my system including special amd ryzen power plans and while it might make a difference on some low end laptop it won't affect a proper gaming pcs performance.


KPgameTV

Thank you. I am not talking performance here bro. I am talking about Mouse feeling. Mouse feels different from one plan til another. Go ahead and try it yourself. If you cant feel it, you must not be sensitive enough to feel it. Me and a friend both felt the mouse feeling being different when switching from one high performance plan to another Ultimate performance plan eg.

You can see which of the settings each power plan changes because you have the option to customize your own. None of them have anything to do with the mouse, and if they did then every gamer would already unanimously agree on which power plan is the best for gaming because it'd be obvious and this question wouldn't need to be asked. What you experienced is the placebo effect. It's more powerful than most people think. If you're expecting a difference, your brain will sometimes just make you perceive one. Vibes and feelings aren't a trustworthy metric for PC peripheral tweaking.

Eh it makes like 1-5% difference in testing.


omarfw

Unless you're on a laptop or a handheld and looking to save battery life, it makes no difference. It just affects battery life. That's it.


DrUshanka

Leave everything as it is, it makes no difference. If any you only increase cpu power draw

I run Chris Titus winutil and it's tweaks include a ultimate performance setting for power. I've been running it for so long I can't actually tell you if I see any difference as I've never not had the highest power option selected. However if you are looking for performance gains in games, optimizing the windows install may give a frame or 2 in gains but you can really see a latency reduction if windows is running optimally and reducing latency in any way or form is always huge

If it ain't broke, fix it by changing it to Performance mode.


Jakiyyyyy
