How to disable Powermizer

[octopus41092]

System Specs:
MSI ID2 MS-1651
P8400
9600M GT 512MB
2x2GB DDR2 800
320GB WD Scorpio Black 7200RPM
Vista Busniess 64-bit

Ok, so I verified it with GPU-Z it's dropping my clock speed whenever I put it on battery power. How can I disable this or get it fixed. I have the latest nVidia drivers.

Update: Just found out its due to Powermizer. I've tried the regedit trick to change it but still no go. I've also changed the service for NVIDIA Display Driver Services to Manual.

Also, I've tried the Powermizer Switch program and when I tried using that it screwed up my drivers and would only do 16-bit and I had to reinstall.

Anyone know how to disable it?

It looks to me like we have a notebook, power saving options are first located in the bios and the os second C1E support enhanced halt state, down clock cpu while on battery ect, check power options in bios first ,then mess with the software in windows.

Okay, now I'm not so sure it's powermizer's problem. I have it set on High Performance. The only option in the High Performance and BIOS settings is PCI Express Link-State Power Management and that's off.

Why would you need to run the gpu at full throttle on battery power?

On my laptop, I never run games without being plugged in anyways...

Yeah, in your case I'd be glad it worked! On my laptop I'd actually like to set up power mixer much more aggressive.. for more power saving.

You know those "problem" mobile chipsets for NV? WELL, one of the "fixes" was for many vendors to just force powermizer for many machines. In fact, with the regular drivers, it makes it almost impossible to turn it off in the settings.

That being said, the registry hacks work, but I'm forgetting where I found them. Most likely laptopvideo2go.

The thing is that it's not clocking back up when I need it. So when I'm trying to run a game it's still running at 169/100 so it lags like crazy.

When it's plugged in it down clocks to 169/100 but when I run a 3D app it'll clock itself back up to the 500/800

Hi there,

This thread is really old, but I'm sure some people is still bugged with the powermizer thing.

Check this app. It worked for me:

Bye bye.

Thanks a lot. It works well with GT215 video chipset.
