Thanks Martin for the helpful tutorial….

Black Rat this is for you….

I am using XFX 4870

Using RivaTuner 2.24 i was able to change my profiles using the GPU usage parameter.
Normally from what i observed (and experimented) using windows 7 64 bit with aero enabled and using regular apps my GPU usage was between 0-10 % and when playing games it was always above 90%.

So to be on the safe side i set Switching to low profile when GPU usage is between 0-20%
AND
High profile when GPU usage is between 20-100%
AND it worked like charm

Thanx to Martin once again for showing me the light

I’ve been using something similar, only the trigger in my setup was temp rather than framerate.

Keeps the card quiet when in the desktop and ramps it up as the card heats up during gaming.

This guide helped me much but caused also two prolblems:

1. In the screenshot you see “Hardware acceleration / OGL”, which only works for OpenGL apllication/games. The correct would be simple “Hardware accelaration” which is for all DirctX and OpenGL.

2. In the comments the author recommends to use framerate monitoring instead. This works for switching to 3D prifile, but not back to 2D, so this tip is worthless. The reaseon for this is, that if no 3D application/game detected the framerate is not 0, it has no value instead. So the trigger, checking if frame rate is 0 won’t work!

Brian I have not tried it in Windows Vista. What you might need to do if Aero is using hardware acceleration is to switch from that to the framerate monitoring instead and set 2D mode whenever the framerate is 0 to 0 and 3D if the framerate is higher than 0.

How does this cope with the fact that Aero is considered “3D” in Vista? Will this run at full speed all the time in Vista because of that?
