Hey, does anyone know what I might be doing wrong? I’ve already tried different configuration settings, and honestly when it comes to 1% lows, not much really changes.
Just to clarify right away: in one of the HWiNFO screenshots (taken while playing CS2), there are measurement errors in a few places caused by running CapFrameX and HWiNFO at the same time. One thing I quickly noticed for sure is that the SoC voltage readings are incorrect (in reality it doesn’t go above 1.185V), as well as the max FCLK value.
In CS2 I’m playing at 1440×900 (16:10) at 360Hz, on an MSI QPX271 QD-OLED monitor. All settings are on low, except shadows which are set to medium.
Setup:
GPU – RTX 4090
CPU – R7 9800X3D
Current Windows settings:
HAGS – enabled
Game Mode – enabled
NVIDIA Control Panel settings:
Power management mode – Prefer maximum performance
Shader Cache – Unlimited
Low Latency Mode – OFF (since I’m using Reflex in-game)
Vertical Sync / Fast Sync – OFF
Threaded optimization – Auto
API mode – Prefer native
All other settings, such as CPU Curve Optimizer, GPU settings in Afterburner, as well as all tests and benchmarks, are included in the screenshots.
