GT627 + Powermizer Disabling

Hello all.

I have a GT627-216US laptop and love it, great little machine.

Only problem I have with it is the crippling of the video card when battery powered. Battery life doesn't matter too much to me and if I can sacrifice most of my battery life to have this video card working a little better I'm definitely willing to do so.

I tried everything, Had windows xp installed and disabled powermizer and it didn't do anything, still crippled on battery. I set power scheme to Always on and doesn't help. I even went as far as flashing my video card. Changed 2d frequencies up and that just screwed things up so I had to reflash the original Bios.

I don't know what else I can do... Anybody have any ideas?

 

Don't think this works for high end gpu's but you can try it

Thanks for the reply, I been across that thread and I have tried everything to do with Powermizer. Disabling powermizer makes no difference I tried it in windows 7 and windows xp heh

 

Then you can not disable it. Its put into effect to decrease strain on the battery.

 

I just flashed to the latest bios and now the videocard sets itself to a little bit higher clock rate then it did before on battery, twice the speeds I think its like 275/550/300 instead of 165/300/200 and its making a huge difference, i can actualy play some games on battery now lol, before i couldn't play any game without it being like 5-10 fps, even old games. Now its all good I think But my fan completely stopped working two days ago so I got to send this back to msi for warranty repairs

 

Powermizer off only turns off ac power and not battery.........


Heres a quick guide how to solve all your problems
1 Press the windows key and R key on the keyboard, think its just start and run from xp
2 This will bring up the run window
3 Type regedit and click ok
4 This will open the registry editor
5 Click on HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
6 Then click the following, SYSTEM,currentcontrolset,control,Video
7 You will see lots of numbers, open each one up and click the 0000, your looking for the one thats shows a massive list on the right, this is where we need to input the data
IF YOU HAVE XP THEN IT SHOULD BE IN THE REGISTRY ALREADY, DOWNLOADING POWERMIZER SWITCH SHOULD SORT YOUR PROBLEM OUT, TO DOWNLOAD IT, ITS ON THIS FORUM, POWERMIZER SWITCH WILL TURN IT OFF FOR BOTH AC POWER AND BATTERY,THIS SHOULD FIX YOUR PROBLEM, IF THAT DOESNT WORK FOLLOW THE STEPS, ONE OF THESE METHODS WILL WORK FOR YOU.
8 When you have found the right one, right click and new tab will come up, click new
9 Input PerfLevelSrc as the name now repeat the above for the following..
PowerMizerEnable
PowerMizerLevel
PowerMizerLevelAC
10 In the list you should now have this...
PerfLevelSrc
PowerMizerEnable
PowerMizerLevel
PowerMizerLevelAC
11 Right click PerfLevelScr and press modify, then input 3333 as the value
12 For PowerMizerEnable, PowerMizerLevel, PowerMizerLevelAC the value should be 0, you can check this by right clicking on them and pressing modify, they should already be at 0, if not change them to 0
13 Now close it down (top corner x) and reboot
14 Now download powermizer switch from this forum and it will work with windows 7 and any nvidia driver, if powermizer switch doesnt work (it should do though)you can turn it off manually from the above, instead of putting 3333 as the value, input 3322 for ac off and battery on or 2222 to turn it off on both ac power and battery (3333 is powermizer on), the good thing about powermizer swich is you dont have to do it manually so you can have it on when on the net and off for gaming, works great for throttling issues or low fps/lag
Enjoy
