Additional powersaving

Spawned an idea how to improve @max battery@ perf. mode. If it possible would be good to add changing display refresh rate to 60hz when enabling max battery mode

Maybe. My laptop doesn't have a high refresh rate display, though, so I have no way to test if a potential solution would work.

If I do add this feature, it probably won't be until after the 1.0 release.

I will add refresh rate switching to the planned feature list.

Actually, on second thought, does Windows provide a power plan option for refresh rate?

Okay, I did some research and it looks like changing the display refresh rate shouldn't be too hard.

However, I also don't think this should be in the base YAMDCC.

BUT, before you complain, I am thinking of adding a "plugin" system to YAMDCC, where knowledgeable people can program their own features into YAMDCC. I might add a refresh rate changer to one of these plugins.

This will still be after v1.0, though. So you might be waiting a while, especially since I'm working on another big project (which isn't public yet, by the way).

yea. windows power plans has the setting about intel graphics device state, but it does nothing or probably limits power or freq. but not refreshrate

Thats sounds great!

Hi, I have created a new project to auto-change your refresh rate when you switch to battery power:
RefreshRateTuner.

I know this isn't quite what you want, but YAMDCC plugins/extensions are probably quite a while off.

Nice one! Thanks mate! I will try it.

For now im using simple combo with 2 programs for changing refrashrate automatically: power event provider and an old cmd utility Qres. I added to windows task scheduler trigger for power event to set refreshrate 60hz
