NyxBoost power plan for games

OptionalNeeds administrator rights

Its own plan based on High performance: no core parking, the processor never drops below 100%, aggressive boost, no PCI Express or USB power saving, disks never sleep. Desktop PCs only.

Expected effect

Less "wake-up" delay for the processor, video card, mouse and keyboard. Most noticeable in light competitive games at high FPS; in heavy games the average FPS usually does not change.

Possible side effects

The processor does not slow down when idle: more heat, noise and power use. Undo brings back the previous plan and deletes the NyxBoost plan.

How to undo it

Undo switches back to the previous power plan and deletes the NyxBoost plan.

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 applying, NyxBoost reads the active plan with powercfg /getactivescheme. To see the real effect on your PC, use FPS Lab: it measures the same game before and after.
