Should I prioritize power saving or maximum performance in NVIDIA settings for casino games?

I I run a casino game wiki and forum. Someone just asked whether they should use power saver mode vs. max performance setting on their nVidia card when playing online casino games. Does this make any difference for users / developers? Anyone know what difference this would make for playing games like slot machines, blackjack, roulette, etc.? Thanks!

But if you’re playing slots, blackjack, or roulette at an online casino, it’s unlikely that you’ll be able to tell much of a difference between power saving and maximum performance modes. Gaming is not the same as playing graphically intense AAA or 3D games, so your GPU isn’t being pushed to its limits.

For example, if you are playing on a low-end graphics card or laptop, power saving mode may be just what is needed to get through a marathon gaming session without your device dying. If you are playing on a high-end computer while plugged in, you probably already have good performance, and max performance mode could potentially make games appear a bit more fluid.

Few people need to make any adjustments; the default works just fine. And even if you’re a developer trying to assess frame rate or graphics quality, the difference between the two settings will be negligible. So choose whichever looks better for now. We’ll get back to GPU priority later on.

Slots, blackjack, and roulette? Graphics don’t make a difference here. Power saving mode is great – it consumes less energy, and the fans won’t spin as loud. Or you can choose max performance mode to ensure that the game runs smoothly. Does it matter which one you choose? Not at all.
