AMD Chipset drivers are the motherboard drivers - one and the same.

Right click the desk top and you'll find the Nvidia Control Panel

Cheers @Plec

I’m just in the bios, I will do that when I come out. My bios settings haven’t changed, XMP is still enabled and the ram is set at 2933

leeince · 21 Jan 2018 at 21:38

Also, my HDD was automatically installed this time, I didn't have to do anything?

leeince · 21 Jan 2018 at 21:41

I'm also getting Access denied when I'm trying to change the performance mode in the Nvidia control panel?

Yes, Windows install/restore won't change the BIOS settings - it obliges them.

Yes, again, the HDD had already been initialised/set up with the initial install so Windows was able to detect it this time around.

You did most of the 'leg work' with your initial install.

If it's there then great

If you haven't got AMD power plan on Windows Power settings

What driver release did you get?

Have you downloaded the just the drivers or have you installed GeForce Experience too?

leeince · 21 Jan 2018 at 21:59

My current temps are 37c, should I install origin and uplay now to down load the games and see how they perform?

Chipset from the gigabyte site
GPU from Nvidia

Those are the only drivers ive installed.

Ive also installed core temp, cpuz and HW Monitor.

orbitalwalsh · 21 Jan 2018 at 22:02

Guessing windows up to date , on fall edition ?

You don't need it - just wondered if you had downloaded it (as you've probably noticed i add as few intrusive apps as possible.).

And preferably get the chipset drivers directly from AMD (more up to date) - but stick with the Gigabyte ones for now.

If one of those, if your not experienced it's not a bad program, hit optimise and launch and off you go.
Far from ideal but handy

Windows is installing a windows defender update, other than that I thinks its up to date.

What next lads? Games?

And be sure to apply this - AMD Power Plan.

You're right orbital - probably really beneficial for new users - i'm old school and like my machines as clutter free as possible.

It's the cynic in me - don't trust apps that make decisions for you.

True, it normally undercuts it quite a bit for settings .

@orbitalwalsh @Plec

Chaps, can you explain AMD powerplan please? That link takes to me to the AMD chipset drivers, I have installed the top on, do I need to install them all?

Edit: and I'm still getting access denied when trying to change the "Power management Mode" in the NVidia control panel?

leeince · 21 Jan 2018 at 22:24

Ive set BF1 to download, its currently downloading to my SSD but I will wont to move it to the HDD. I might need to pick a brain when I do this. I tried earlier and it got a bit messy!

You need to enter power plan - advanced settings - and select the AMD option.
