    I have P-State parameter always goes to P8 even I using small 3D apps. It's cause stuttering and FPS drops.
    P8 = Core 135Mhz, Memory 325Mhz
    Setting "Performance Level [3] - (P0)" in Nvidia Inspector doesn't work, I see P8 again.
    How to lock this parameter to P0 and disable it to going higher ?
    Please help.

    You could mod your bios

    That, or, you could try K Boost in MSI afterburner.

    isnt it single display performance mode and prefer maximum performance in nvidia control panel under manage 3d settings?

    Have you tried the Multi Display Power Saver program included in Nvidia Inspector? I use it since my card won't downclock with out it (Due to running 3 monitors, 2x 60hz 1x 120hz). Then I add programs or a GPU usage threshold for when it goes to 3d clocks. Might help.

    Found the solution.
    P-State can be locked by creating clean PowerMizer profile.
    There is no more need to use KBoost.

    I think he would get 1137mhz on desktop then . I know it set base clock for me with it set globally .

    It does not I have my global setting set to max peformance, and when sitting on the desktop my gpu is at idle speeds.

    Anything that uses HW accleration like FF/Chrome/IE etc will trigger the gpu to 3d speeds too

    The DWM.exe has is own profiles which is set to adaptive by default in win7

    I have zero issue with using max performance in my global profile, my gpu run idle speeds on the desktop, always has. my only issue is I hate boost on nvidia cards i dont like the dynamic OC/Voltage control still wish they alway use to disable boost with out castrating power states.

    I know this reply is too late but I just joined guru3D so.

    Create shortcut or run command NvidiaInspector.exe -forcepstate:0,2
    Go to P2 State clock settings, click "unlock max" on the right side and slowly (10 MHz at a time) increase both core and memory clocks to your default ones. It works for me. :)
