Speaking of movie, use a player that supports Cuda decoding (like MPC-HC, look in settings, needs to be configure to use it). Power consumption should be minimal regardess of what you do (even watching a 720p movie). and will bring the largest gains as it will also eliminate that fluctuation of “time remaining” as you use your laptop. – go to Device Manager and check whether or not your wireless card’s power saving features are enabled/auto – set screen timeout to a lower value like two or three minutes – the less programs open you have the better (including useless placebo-tier ones like antivirus programs) – unless your outside brightness to lowest possible should be just fine – the more animations you can do with disabled the better (disable showing of windows contents while dragging if you plan to move around your windows a lot) – mute speakers/microphone, or bring them to 0 (this cuts off the power)
– disable transparency in Windows 7 (do not dsable Aero completely) You can do a few software-wise things as well: Newer versions require a combination of 3.5 and 4. Version 1.9.7.3 requires NET 3.5 (enabled on Win7 by default). Alternately you can go further and enforce a 30fps global limit (also in NvidiaInspector, click on the key/screwdriver button). (or restart, this setting doesn’t stick)ĭisable Intel’s integrated GPU, it’s useless and you can make Nvida GPU consume a lot less power. To force the GOU in its lowest power state.
Second you can run the program with this argument: First, right click on “Show overclocking” button and you have a power saving option. You can do a few things with it to make Nvidia GPU’s consume significantly less power than usual. Search for a program called nvidiaInspector (doeanload it from Softpedia or Guru3D). The idea is to not let the CPU raise it’s multiplier high enough to need the increased power needs for said higher values. You can use something like CPU-z to see the values which your CPU supports, depending on the CPU you may want to choose something between 30 and 50. Note these values represent the percentage of your CPU’s multiplier. Control Panel\Hardware and Sound\Power Options > Change plan settings > Advanced
