I've vaguely heard of people being able to edit the BIOS so that the GPU runs at a lower voltage and lower clockspeed in 2D mode, and then at standard settings at 3D mode, but other people have also said that the 8800GT can't switch speed and voltage settings between 2D and 3D mode. Right now, I can do this somewhat through RivaTuner, by telling it to reduce the core/shader/memory clocks by half when hardware acceleration = 0, but I wonder if there is a better way. I'm also interested in underclocking my Geforce 8800GT when it's idle. So, are there any applications that can facilitate this? Run the CPU at 1.2Ghz-1.6Ghz 0.85V, and automatically switch to 3.0Ghz, 1.30V when the CPU is no longer idle? Intel Speedstep is simply inadequate, all it does on my computer is reduce the clock speed from 3.0Ghz to 2.0Ghz, it doesn't even adjust the voltage. The first method to resolve the low CPU speed in Windows 10, is to set the processor performance state to maximum. The reason I am interested in this is the potential power savings that would result, though I'm not sure how many watts the cpu would consume at idle 3.0Ghz 1.30V vs 1.2-1.6Ghz 0.85V. I'm interested in underclocking it when it's idle, to around 1.6Ghz, 0.85V (or 1.2Ghz or whatever it would be stable at at 0.85V).
