The "High performance" power plan

Optional

The CPU stays at high clock speeds longer and does not enter deep power-saving states.

Expected effect

Faster response to sudden load. On a desktop the difference is usually small.

Possible side effects

Higher power consumption and heat. On a laptop the battery drains noticeably faster.

What exactly changes

Registry key	Value	Type	New value
Active power plan			`High performance`

How to undo it

Undo turns on the power plan that was active before the change.

In NyxBoost: Recovery → “Revert” next to this setting's entry.
Without the program: Control Panel → Power Options → choose the plan you used before.

How NyxBoost checks the result

After switching, NyxBoost queries the active plan via powercfg /getactivescheme. To see the real effect on your PC, use FPS Lab: it measures the same game before and after.
