How To Optimize Windows 10 for Gaming & Performance in 2020: The Truth about the Ultimate Power Plan
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 авг 2020
- There are many How to optimize Windows 10 for gaming & performance in 2020 tutorials misleading people about the true effects of the ultimate performance power plan. In this video, I contacted Microsoft who confirmed selecting this power plan on a laptop will cause your battery to malfunction sooner. I also provide benchmarks showing the real differences between the power saver, balanced, high performance and ultimate power plans. Thanks to Microsoft, I’m able to recommend you the perfect power plans for laptops and desktop PCs. If you’re wondering why the ultimate performance power plan is missing or not showing, scroll down to get the cmd prompt/powershell script/code. In future videos I will focus on Windows 10 tips and tricks, tweaks, beginners’ guides, Win 10 optimization/customization guides to increase fps in games, hidden features (Easter eggs) and settings that will truly speed up and optimize Windows 10 for gaming and performance. If you’re wondering how to optimize your PC for gaming to stop it being laggy and slow - be sure to stick around for my next video which will be an updated How to Optimize Nvidia Control Panel for Gaming video.

Power plans can help you save energy, maximize system performance, or achieve a balance between the two. Windows has these power options:
Power saver - Saves power by reducing PC performance and screen brightness. If you're using a laptop / notebook, this plan can help you get the most from a single battery charge.
Balanced - Offers full performance when you need it and saves power when you don't. This is the best power plan for most people.
High performance - If used on a laptop / notebook, this power plan will reduce your laptop battery’s lifespan due to it requiring more power than a laptop battery can handle. On a desktop PC this plan offers full performance when you need it and saves power when you don't. This plan has exactly the same configuration settings as the ‘Ultimate Performance power setting which allows it to reduce or eliminate micro-latencies in the same way.
Ultimate Performance - Offers the exact same results as the ‘High performance’ plan. Compare the ‘Processor power management’ settings to high and you’ll see it’s exactly the same. As the high and ultimate power plan schemes are geared towards reducing micro-latencies they may directly impact hardware; and will consume more power than the default balanced plan.
Windows 10 Advanced power settings options:
Hard Disk - Turn Off Hard Disk After
Note: This setting works only for HDDs not SSDs.
Internet Explorer - JavaScript Timer Frequency
Desktop Background Settings - Slide Show
Wireless Adapter Settings - Power Saving Mode
Sleep - Sleep After, Hibernate After, Allow Hybrid Sleep, Allow Wake Timers.

Ok what about unpacked cpu cores and high power plan?
Man these are so good, I'd totally watch if you did reaction vids too. I don't even need to optimize my PC but I watch anyways, on account of being regal AF
This guy made me watch the whole video and didn’t skip once
Yup lmao
I skipped loads
yeah same
IT Technician here
Tldr: I recommend using balanced plan despite using desktop but after you read my explanation, you can decide for yourself.
Basically power saver is good for your pc, not so good experience of the user. It lowers your CPU GHz speed to its lowest value. Lower GHz means lower use of voltage thus lower heat dissipation. That's also why your PC is slower when using power saver because lower GHZ = turtle speed.
High performance uses the highest GHz speed and stays only on that valaue. These is really bad unless your system has good airflow because this will always use the highest CPU speed even when your idle, even when you're not opening apps . We don't want that on a laptop, also we can't experience the speediness of the computer when we're idle so what's the point of using it always at highest speed? This is also why your laptop heats up when using this plan, remember higher GHz speed = higher use of voltage thus higher heat dissipation.
Balanced mode reduces speed to its lowest when computer is idle and opportunistically increase CPU speed when using your computer especially CPU intensive tasks. These is really good because when you're playing games, it will automatically use the highest GHz speed your CPU can afford and when you're just doing light tasks, it will reduce its speed suitable for that task. It's kinda like choosing high performance plan when playing games and power saver when idle or using light tasks except it's done automatically.
Have doubts? All of these can be checked in task manager. Go to your CPU graph. Look for GHz value and you can see the values go up or down when choosing different plans.
Note: Info above will only apply to windows power plans. Any other plans such as AMD power plans will differ to what I described above.
They didn't even notice your comment unless me
Wow, I don't even know about this, but thanks for your advise!!
when using balanced mode and performance mode in battery, my laptop was getting kinda hot, so if i use that will it makes my laptop hotter and make the thermal paste wasted to early?
Dude this information is so useful. Thank you so much for taking the time to write this out, it was a real pleasure to read it! I'm sorry I didn't see it until now.
I mean until it doesn't and your CPU starts throttling back and forth because Intel made a crap CPU that requires you to run it hot and hard the whole time to keep it from microstuttering, in a true oxymoronic fashion.
Aka see i7 8750H
as a laptop user who used high performance mode, i can confirm it indeed destroys your battery life.
yeah i did the same mistake on my old laptop
fuck those tutorials where
"use High performance it gives you fps boost"
Me too bro
I also can confirm this
Wish i had known this earlier
you didn't have the brains to plug it into the wall first?
@@jreezysavage6261 me too
this is how all tutorials should be. Thank you so much for pointing all this out and running the tests. You're the man.
Oh wow another Alex 😂 nice to meet you haha. Welcome dude! have an amazing weekend!
Most underated RUclipsr
Thank you so much dude!
true
@@shogoz true
@Kiandesu true!
True
Thank you so much. I was wondering why my battery life was so low, but then you made me realise that High Performance Power Plan isn't good for my laptop. Thank you very very much.
Hi Shogoz, there is another power plan that some youtubers recommend to use, and it is the Bitsum Highest Perfomance power plan, you need to install a program called Park Control to use it and do u know if it really does something in terms of frames and battery or not?
CPU unparking programs don't do anything different than what the power plans in Windows do. Whenever I hear about them I just sarcastically think "Yeah, it's a huge conspiracy by AMD and Intel. They send out their hardware unoptimised and want everything to be slow unless you install a third party CPU unparking program" lol. RUclipsrs will say anything for clicks. Don't install park control. Waste of time.
bro youtube. why is this guy underrated?!
Accidentally found this channel when looking for a fix to my Windows Power Plan constantly shifting from Balanced Power Plan to Power Saver (who needs Power Saver when you can have Ultimate Power Saver, click on the Start Menu, look for the Icon with a Circle and a small vertcial line intersecting it at the top then , click, select Power and Shut Down for your PC/laptop to use no power at all).
Anyway, I enjoyed it so much that I nearly forgot why I came here, but I sub'd and liked it.
Keep it up, well done and all that.
Now I know how to fix that happening :D Thanks for the comment dude it's extremely helpful!
I only have have 1 question. How would the Driver Booster program differs in performance when Gaming Boost Mode is ON, over the Windows settings you just mentioned?
I also found out that in the Nvidia settings where it says "Adjust desktop size and position" if you use the option "Display" instead of "GPU" and check the box. I got and extra 10fps up to 20fps by letting the display do the scaling I stead of the GPU. Same thing with the sharp feature you mentioned in your other video. I use the sharp feature which makes my games look awesome, but I dont use the GPU upscaling. when I turn it ON it drops the fps. So I keep it off. Just using the sharp features. I also notice that using the filters with Gforce actually drops the fps.
You are mad underrated. I love that you explain what the settings do.
Dude, i believe this guy. Amongst all the youtubers who just show to choose options without even giving a reason to it, this guy hence proved all of the options and it's consequences one by one. Thank you so much dude for opening my eyes. I can finally able to choose a good one.
Thank you Rishii for the awesome comment! :D
Dude i was getting a lot of frame drops using ultimate performance, then i change to balanced and finally the drops disappear, thank you very much!
thank you for very detailed description - i like your sense of humor
I came here to set my Performnace plan and when i found this it resolved my problem AND ALSO MADE ME LAUGH AND ENTERTAINED AS HIS WAY AND WORDS OF SPEECH ARE SO OP
I wonder what's the diffrence between these plans and AMD Ryzen™ Balanced plan that can be installed from driver website for motherboard
It’s that infinity fabric man. It’s one picky sucker.
I literally found you 5 minutes ago and i already love you
oooooooo bb ❤️😘
He is taken!!!
randomly came across this vid, I love this man
Your editing skills is top notch. Good job
The deeper we go the more it goes from passive aggressive to active aggressive
That's a great way to sum it up.
Thanks for the awesome tips. Question, have you researched if using windows 10 pro is better for gaming than Home edition? Asking cause I use Home but I don't' mind buying Pro if it helps :) .. thanks!
homie renamed HandBrake shortcut “HandJob” SUBSCRIBED! lmaooo
Quality information + Higher quality humor. You just earned my sub, my man.
I had major issues with Hunt: Showdown and was getting 70-100 on lowest settings and after switching from balanced to high performance it went to 110-145-190 so it worked for me.
So I have a laptop and I want to get the most out of it, do I use balanced?
What about Ryzen's high performance and balanced power plans ? Which one should I choose ?
Can I use that high performance with charger connected ?
Ryzen 5 3600, RTX 3060 Ti. Should i choose Amd ryzen high perrf orr the windows' Ultimate Perf?
My laptop has a setting which caps my battery at 50% to keep the battery's lifespan at max, would this counteract/ slow the effects of high and ultimate performance?
Bro i subed like 20 seconds into you vid keep up your good content :)
Tysm man!!
I have a question, I run on a laptop and use bitsum highest performance, should I be using it?
The power plan i use every day for my light task such as online classes, see videos and read stuff is the balanced one but with boost disabled, since it's unnecesary for me when doing those kind of task. But since i saw this video i just erase all the other power plans i had and just copy the basic balanced mode but with the option of boost enable(for when i'm doing big boi tasks such as gaming). My question if when running a game should i move the thing. When you left click on the battery it appears a little bar with three options suck as better battery, better performance and maximun performance, should i set maximum performance when playin?
yes definitely, speaking from experience it boosted my laptop.
for some reason after restro all powe plan settings etc in balance that thing changed can somebuddy tell me the balanced actual settings
DUDE, ur toooo funny man, love ur content, keep it up
I have a low-end pc with intel HD graphics should I use this?
i couldnt find the 'ultimate performance' in the hide additional plans, what do i do?
Hey! I always have my laptop plugged in with power, could i then use high performance? And are there additional power settings you would recommend?
Dont i used my laptop same way always plugged in like pc and I used ult performance and now my battery has cancer so i dont recomend using high/ult performance. Use balance
This channel deserves a million subs.
soon
Unable to create a new power scheme
The power scheme, subgroup or setting specified does not exist. how fix?
@shogoz ,
Lest I forget AGAIN, good video.
Actually, great videos, good research and always on point.
You deserve to grow a lot more.
Just asking a question, how do you get rid or turn off reduced performance mode
Lately i've been searching alot of ways to improve my laptop performance because im using it for streaming ( i7-9750h , GTX1660Ti ), thanks a lot for making this video and explaning all the details, love your channel
and thanks for saving my laptop battery as well
You're welcome Fabiano! I'm happy I was able to help you :D
Thank you for helping!!
Great video! Does it also drain my laptop battery if it is plugged in?
Thank you bro now i know what to use
Do those plans actually use more watts such that you may actually run out of power if you have no overhead?
The logic behind is heat that causes lower performance in ultimate settings
i really thought u had like 6 mil subs. this is quality
Thank you 😂😘
I playing game and i playing with pc and i dont no about i give more fps with ultimate performance or high performance can u tell me plz?
Since my laptop is always chargin' can I enable ultimate performance?
My favorite RUclipsr now. Great information!! Waiting for windows 10 optimization
What about the amd specific modes? Should I go high perf or my amd balanced?
can it be beneficial for gaming laptop which are most of the time runs on power cord ???
Please reply faster
You have just gained another sub
Is there any way I can set my laptop to go into balanced mode when unplugged??? Also is it safe to use high performance on a plugged in laptop?????
hello everyone does anyone know how to disable ultimate performance because whenever i delete it, it still looks really dull and blurry
Bro I am using a laptop and I removed the battery because it isn't working anymore, I'm going to use the laptop without the battery until I bought a new one. Do you have any power plans specifically on my situation? I'm really anxious about what might happen if I do it wrong while I'm going to play an online game, Dota 2 (specifically).
Thanks man!
Hey I'm using a laptop and Im using also the high performance plan is it okay? And is it safe to use it?
Can u tell us what panjno do when he "optomize" a game / he copies things in the game files and and removes some things and paste it in the game files that increased about 60-70fps
Not sure but he wouldn't have worked it out on his own if he can't explain it.
@@shogoz well I THINK he removes things that takes alot of fps but it doesn't seem like anything is changed in the game , but i didn't try it , but can adding things make the game better? / can u choose a game u know about and explain what he did PLEASE
I think it's perfectly OK to ask on the video you saw it on. I personally don't want to give him any watchtime. If he made a vid on it you deserve to know exactly what he's doing if he's not telling you what things do but recommending you do it. It's literally the worst way to teach anyone anything - imagine if our teachers just said "do this" without an explanation. I think they did that in classrooms 50 years ago.
Very informative video!
Thank you dude!! :D
so im just asking best power plan for computer is it high performance for gaming
noob here lol... and new sub :). do you need to add every powerconfig attribute you've listed to command prompt to get the power possessor management settings back... some vidoes i've seen you just add one line but you've listed 11? i'm confused lol. since widows 10 2004 removed virtually all advanced power options i rolled back and used cs enabled and changed value but you cant do this in new windows version .. cheers Microsoft -_-. if i upgrade again will your method work in windows 2004 so i'll have all options back again as i always set my max pro state to 99 to stop overheating?
Whether it's 1 line or 11 you can paste the whole 11 lines in all at once so no biggie :P I'm surprised you didn't include the one line of code in your comment because you know I'd ask for it! I made this video on 2004 so yep it will work but I'm sure by now you would have tried it without waiting for me to reply hopefully 😂 sorry I took so long to see this!
I love you bro..finally a normal man a real youtuber
Hilarious video ! 😂 It was a good point on your previous video about optimal gpu power mode. And in my case with desktop PC, Ryzen high perfomance plan is the good choice.
My God, This is the only 1 and only video which i watch the full length of 12.:10 without skipping.
This information are so good. +1 to your sub
So how do I already access Ultimate Performance in power plans without the SECRET CODE THING
Finally mah boaah Alex is back...and as always.. awesome content 💯
But tell me this man when are we gonna get a full optimization guide for windows 10
Thanks Arthur :D good to be back! I really wanted to make that tutorial but then I thought making mini windows optimisation tutorials like the nvidia control panel and this video would give me the time I need to make a really unique windows 10 optimisation guide. All the stuff I found out and benchmarks I did took a lot of time - if I can eventually combine the information into the 1 tutorial plus all the other stuff I find along the way I know it can be the best it can be when I finally make it and it will feel complete :p
@@shogoz No problem man take your time and all the best 🤠...hope you hit 100k subs soon🤞stay motivated bro and don't care about the competition you rock👍👍
Love the video man. Hella funny
Hi! I have a laptop but normally when I game I have it plugged in. I was wondering if should be using the balanced or high power performance plan.
balanced. when it unplugs it switches to power saver.
i would love to watch more vids , hope u could upload more
Yooo. New subscriber here and followed your steps in having the best option for Nvidia control panel.
Now my laptop doesn't stutter anymore (from often to never).
Thanks bruh
Is there a way to bring it back to the way it was?
A RUclipsr told be that turning of link state power management in the advanced power settings improve FPS, is that true?
learnt something new today. thanks for recommending I don't destroy my laptop battery ;)
No problemo! 😂
I love this video so much
Informative and comical
I gotta say I love the names you have for apps on your pc. Like Covid Zombi, etc etc
I need help i’m on laptop and it won’t go off high performance and every time i click balanced performance it doesn’t save some one help
well at least every time i open fortnite it puts it on high performance
thank you so much.. share this info.. love from Sri Lanka❤😊
Brahhhh I have never laughed so much!!!! Had to sub!!
still did nothing for me. applying the command prompt lines didnt "unhide" my options for my power settings.
how about a laptop with already a damage built-in battery and only using Adapter as the source of power?.
Theres a feature on steam called remote play that allows you to basically stream a game to another person and play it with them, it has a lot of settings so you could always do a video on optimizing that for easy content
Thanks alot! again and again!
best video ever about this kind of battery plans issues
Thank you Nguyễn!!
Lol, that was pretty funny and very informative. Thumbs up for you good sir.
I like what you renamed the recycle bin
THANKS MAN DANG YOU SAVED MY MACBOOK RUNNING ON BOOTCAMP
Well true, I've been running my laptop since 2017 to 2019 on high/ultimate performance and my battery died (and increased in volume). Theoretically it could be a reason.
Also I have had it powered 24/7 from AC and have been gaming a lot, that also could have impacted. If I have had an easily removable battery, i would take it off first so battery stays chill, but in my case I have to half teardown my laptop to takr my battery off.
you needed a video to tell you that? battery technology is still not exactly the best (even though we expected flying cars by now) having the "ultimate" setting whilst using a battery is bad, common sense, but i assume that is not the problem i bet its you doing it whilst not plugged into wall when doing it
Is this better than easer cortex?
but can u help me i have a decent pc but my CPU usage drops while I'm gaming
I see nobody talks about how much less power plans consume near idle, low load situations. ATM i look for ryzen plan compared to balanced and saving. PC runs all day and why not save a bit more juice?
Great video as always
Thank you Sal :D
I always thought that ultimate performance was some bullshit, my friends kept telling me that it makes the fps better but it never did, holy shit thanks for the great video shogoz
Man, I've been doing all kinds of things wrong. I feel so ashamed. lol! Thanks for the useful video yet again!
I like how he renamed all of his apps 😂😅🤣
Holy shit😂
s u i c i d e n o t e
Thanks to your video i was able to save my laptop to become Ashy Slashy hand. But can you help me fix this problem? When i played a game for a long time like (45min-2hr) my laptop heat so much. and the game goes 5 fps (ex: Dead Rising 3). I always looking for any recommendation but no result. My specs, Processor: Intel i7-10510U, Driver: Nvidia Geforce MX330, Ram: 8gb
What happens if I use my gaming laptop plugged in? Isnt it disables the battery and consumes all the energy from the power outlet?
it will damage the adapter. Im on AC adapter, using Highperformance settings. my laptops is abuilt-in battery, and already died. For two years i stay on that setting until my adapter got broke.
im stuck on ultimate performance lmao, i cant make new power plan nor have balanced high ect cant download or backup with the cmd commands
