Windows power plan actually changed my frame times

Not sure if this is the right board, move me if needed. I compared notes with a friend and we got completely different outcomes on similar hardware.

    Two settings appear to interact in a way the menu does not hint at. Interested in the counter-argument if there is one.

    Worth checking first: it depends heavily on your specific setup, so take any single number with a grain of salt.

    Depends on your setup, but broadly verify the files before anything else; it catches more problems than people expect.

    Others may have a cleaner method.

    Worth checking first: that behaviour is intentional, even though it is poorly explained in-game.

    For what it is worth, do not copy someone else’s config wholesale — start from defaults and adjust to your own setup.

    Report back once you have tried it.

    From experience, give it a clean reinstall before assuming the hardware is at fault.
