I’ve been redoing some research regarding a few “tweaks”.
I thought some of you may find it interesting.
My first step was to do some 3DMark and PCMark8 benchmarks.
The second step was to benchmark the following tweaks via Passmark:
bcdedit /set useplatformclock true
bcdedit /set tscsyncpolicy Enhanced
bcdedit /set disabledynamictick yes
Hardware: My Laptop (Intel i7)
OS: Windows 8.1
Setup: Laptop plugged in to external monitor. Forced Passmark to use Nvidia card instead of Intel.
