This is especially the case as well that boost 3.0 ramps up much more agressive than boost 2.0, my card only needs to be at 60% load or so and then it will be at full max boost speed. In the past I have only really used max performance to stabilise my previous gtx970 as it was unstable sometimes at intermediate clocks between 2d and 3d base speed so rthis stabilised the card, on my 1070 I have never needed to use the performance mode and always keep it at adaptive. Optimal - Default mode on latest drivers, It seems to be less agressive on ramping up clock speeds with the aim of more power savings, in my experience its performance affecting so I do not use it. Max performance - this will not let the clocks fall below 3d base clocks (it doesnt pin it at max boost clocks), between 3d base clocks and max boost clock it works the same as adaptive.Īdaptive - The default mode on older drivers, it will adjust clock speeds depending on the load put on the card, in my experience this does not cause any performance issues in most games. But for a 1 second pause once in a while, I don't think it's worth it.

You could try re-installing Windows 10 and only loading the graphics drivers and the game and see if it still does it. You will need to figure this one out yourself. We can guess over and over and still be wrong. We don't know all of the history of your computer. Nobody here can give you an answer for that reason. The bottom line is that there are simply too many possible reasons for your FPS drops.


You own a legit copy of Windows 10, right? I could be wrong, but I don't have any non-activated Windows 10 installations so I can't prove it. What was the CPU usage during this time period? What background programs/services do you have running? Are you sharing Windows 10 updates with other computers in your network? Is Windows 10 Store running and updating? So many possibilities.Īlso, why haven't you activated Windows yet? I'm going to go out on a limb and say that Windows 10 is the cause of the short drop in FPS because it is checking activation status periodically. Why are you convinced the issue is related to the power setting? If you are convinced, why not try each setting and see what it does? Try it out for yourself.
