Make "High Performance" power scheme change optional

Rajveer

May I ask what the reason is for forcing the power scheme to change to "High Performance"? I've been switching between "Balanced" and "High Performance" mode whilst games are running and have found no difference, except for my 6 cores not being forced to run at their max overclock and hitting the 80s. One of these games was Elite:Dangerous, where I found no difference whatsoever.

Could this switch be made optional?

With a decent desktop win10 pc and adequate cooling nvidia cp and win10 High Performance power options should not be a problem and may help reduce link and wireless stutters.  With many so-called gaming laptops you may hit thermal limits and this will significantly lower your performance.
