What the big deal with those "Ryzen" power plan when there's literally only one to two settings are changed, and nothing magical that can have a huge impact on performance.

Thanks for posting the updated drivers.

Max(IT) · Oct 19, 2020

drivers updated, everything is fine.
But 1usmus power plan is still slightly better than AMD Performance.

Not everything is shown in the UI.... actually very little is shown in the UI for the end user. That is why 1usmus released his tuned power profiles to better accommodate the best core selection by windows scheduler (just one of many examples).

hidden settings, those are just the user controllable ones

What about Windows 7?

This is what you get by using powercfg /Qh, which returns the hidden and non-hidden "user controllable" settings.

you can also cross check with
Get-WmiObject -Namespace root\cimv2\power -Class Win32_PowerSetting
and
Get-WmiObject -Namespace root\cimv2\power -Class Win32_PowerSettingInSubgroup
in powershell to see there's nothing missing.

Didn't the guy Stilt say there was no difference awhile ago. If I remember right it was right after it came out.
