TechPowerUp ThrottleStop 9 Released - Override OEM Power Throttling

And there shouldn't be a problem either.

The Spanish word that thefumigator and I were talking about isn't exactly common. The... offensive/hilarious use isn't even documented yet in the main Spanish Royal Academy dictionary, only in the americanism dictionary, and the one I was thinking about has been documented only in Argentina and in relatively recent times (I heard the word for the first time as early as a decade and half ago, I think, which is not a lot of time).

Frankly, I wouldn't even worry. "PROCHOT" isn't a term that is exposed to most computer users in the first place and if nothing else it will bring a good laugh or at least a chuckle to anyone who comes across it. I mean, if you're actually tinkering and tweaking enough to come across PROCHOT, you should already know that no one at Intel or AMD would have funny ideas when using that as abbreviation, because it's unlikely that the engineers (or whoever chose how to abbreviate it) knew that it had such meaning in very specific places of the world, specially when such word it's rarely if at all used in formal conversation (it's considered vulgar, after all).
I have googled this to no avail. What is the translation? Perhaps you can put it in other terms so as not to put up words that are blocked.

Take it to PM guys.
 
Is there an article someone can point me to with any type of write up on the different features of this or should I just download it and start playing with it?
 
Wish there was something like this for Vega and RVII GPUs to stop them being held in an ultra low power state in some less demanding games or applications. There's no way around it currently. Affects most DX9, a lot of DX10, and a lot of less demanding DX11 titles. Totally cripples the card and performance.

As an example, I can't even play Spelunky on my Radeon VII. The card sets an 18-23W TDP and won't go over that. Resulting in terrible stutter and then the game quitting.

It seems to be a result of AMD's botched 'removal' of Power Efficiency from the last Adrenalin drivers.

And you cant find this with a bios, registry hack, or another app that puts the card into a 3d state at all? Sounds very strange. Drivers or settings within a driver are no more then a registry tweak.
 
Awesome! A version for AMD would have been awesome, but I guess there is a lot of work to achieve that.
 
I would like to ask can you make linux version ?
 
Noticed something interesting using ThrottleStop with BCLK overclocking clock modulation didn't appear as if it was working in the past with CPU-Z however windows task manager seems to report frequency changes when lowering or raising the values which I hadn't noticed in the past or put two in two together maybe it is functioning. I had assumed it wasn't working when doing a BCLK OC because CPU-Z not reporting it. Anyway noticing the task manager thing I thought I tried the built in benchmark tool in ThrottleStop to try to valid what in fact was going on. Seems it is working so you can still do CPU clock modulation with a BCLK OC which I hadn't realized until now. That raises the prospect of being able to boot into windows and auto load ThrottleStop to lower the CPU clock modulation to maintain frequency stability at a higher BCLK OC at the same frequency value provided it's stable enough to boot into windows in the first place yet not stable enough to boot, but not stable enough to boot and be under full stress. It should help with fine tuning the memory controller's performance if I'm not mistaken by modulating to the same peak CPU frequency at a higher BCLK value!?
