Windows 10: Is it worth enabling High Performance Power Plan on a desktop PC?

Hello all,

I would like to know if it is worth enabling High Performance Power Plan on a desktop PC while gaming?

And if it is,then I would please you to tell me how do I automatically enable the High Performance Power Plan only while gaming?

Thanks.

My OS is Win 10 x64 Version 1909 (OS Build 18363.778).

High Performance Power Plan and Ultimate Performance Power Plan.

What is the real difference between the High Performance Power Plan and Ultimate Performance Power Plan?

 

Power plan?

Upon checking, it seems that there's nothing wrong with your system. It is usual that you have to double-click your mouse before your monitor wakes up.

For the meantime, we suggest changing the power plan by following the steps below:

• Press Windows key + S.
• Type in Power Settings.
• On the pop-up window, choose Additional power settings.
• Select High performance.

After changing the power plan, we suggest that you monitor the changes made and check if that will work for you.

High Performance Power Plan and Ultimate Performance Power Plan.

So in conclusion that the power plan is crap?

I decided to do my own bench marking between the 2 (yes I though screw is lets do this).

With the setting as ultimate performance, my score was 8386.

With the setting as high performance (the one that I normally use), my score was 8397.

So if this "ultimate performance" is supposed to let all your hardware go so to say, then why are the marks less that high? I have the same settings in both so I don't understand why its an ultimate performance thing lol.
