Script to Change TDP for Intel based CPU/IGU - kristheb - 11-24-2019

Using Playnite as the Frontend of my  Gpd Win 2 it's quite common to change the default Powersettings to get more performance or to save battery.



Steps
  • You need the Intel Xtreme Tuning Utility installed.
  • Search for powershell, shift-right click, run as administrator and run: Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned
  • Create File with Script below

start-sleep -s 3
& 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\Intel(R) Extreme Tuning Utility\Client\XTUCli.exe' -t -id 34 -v -50
& 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\Intel(R) Extreme Tuning Utility\Client\XTUCli.exe' -t -id 100 -v -50

& 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\Intel(R) Extreme Tuning Utility\Client\XTUCli.exe' -t -id 48 -v 12
& 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\Intel(R) Extreme Tuning Utility\Client\XTUCli.exe' -t -id 47 -v 15
& start-sleep -s 3
  • Open the Edit Game Details (With F3 or right click+Edit...) and go to the Scripts tab

Short ID Explanation, for more pls search for Undervolting and XTU.



34-> Core Voltage Offset
100 -> Processor Graphics Media Voltage Offset
47 -> Turbo Boost Short Power Max
48 -> Turbo Boost Power Max

XTUCli.exe -i all puts out all explanation for the ID setting.

I think running "Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned" shouldn't be needed because we run PowerShell scripts in our own runtime that already has unrestricted execution policy set.

Similarly, it may be useful to have a script to set processor affinity on game start.

Also, I'm envious of the GPD Win 2.

Actually, setting processor affinity is even more useful, since there are plenty of older games that predate multicore CPUs, and don't work if they get ran on 2 or more cores.
