Do you expect improved frame rates with ASUS Optimal?
Do you expect improved frame rates with ASUS Optimal?
I need to check if turning on ASUS Optimal would be safe for my system. With an Intel 5960X and a GTX 980ti, I'm considering it to boost FPS in Flight Simulator X. My concern is whether increasing the turbo clock from 3.5 to 3.8 would cause issues. Some people say unlocking the CPU can be risky, but I want to be sure before making a decision. Can you tell me if this feature is generally safe and likely to improve performance?
I'm not sure if enabling maximum performance mode in the NVIDIA control panel is safe for you. It seems to work well with older games that don't strain the graphics card, but it might cause issues with games that trigger lag spikes.
It's safe to use again, just keep an eye on the temperatures.
Tell me it's safe, but monitoring your temps isn't reassuring. So I'll just turn it off and use optimal power. By the way, I've been using peak performance for a week just to make sure.
It's the same as when you change the CPU settings, you need to keep an eye on the temperatures for a while to check their performance. In places like Arizona, temperatures can get very high, which isn't often, but it's better to be cautious.
