Yesterday, we reported the Intel’s new BIOS feature for the Core Ultra 200S Mother Board, called the 200s Boost, under which the simple click of the BIOS option will eliminate some parts of the Iro Lake processor. It mostly lifts the Die -Die (D2D) and the UNCORE (NGU) watches in their default 2.1 GHz in the values of 3.2 GHz.
But now after experiencing an increase in the 200’s in a handful of sports, I suspect that there is something else going behind the curtain, or very little, the MSI is on the Mother Board that I used. In fact, it doesn’t matter what is being changed, because the results I have received are very clear to one thing: you should use the 200s boost mode. Term
Testing a new feature Core Ultra 7 265k CPU, an MSI Meg Z 890s is located in Mother Board which is 48GB Course Dominator Titanium DDR5-8000 CL38 And a Asus Prort RTX 4080 Super. The processor is cooled through the Arctic Liquid Freezer III 360 Fractal Design North XL Chassis, with four 140 mm of nickta fans.
I chose six games (technically five games and one game benchmark) and recorded an average and 1 % lower frame rate in a five -minute gaming session for each. To get a sense of benefits offered through the 200s Boost Mode, I all tested them with MSI’s former A50 BIOS for the Mother Board, repeated for its new A57 BIOS, and then activated Boost Mode.
Cyberpank 2077
The first hardware testing is one of my favorite sports for cyberpank 2077. Generally, I play it with the promotion of DLSS and with the frame generation as well as the path tracing, but I have down the quality settings up to RT Ultra and inactive DLS. The test area of the game was the location of Jung Jung Street in Japan Town, as it is full of NPC and details to load CPU.
As you can see, the A57 Bios and the 200s Boost Mode did nothing for the average frame rate (this has actually decreased a bit for the latter), but this is a surprise for 1 % less. However, it is clear that the new BIOS itself is mostly responsible for most of the D2D and NGU watches.
I will reduce the average frame rate slightly to increase the lower frame rates at any day of the week, though once you remove the resolution above 1080p, the Cyberpanic 2077 is completely limited to the benefits. Still, the action is not bad, yes?
Baldor’s Gate 3
Well, if you think the results of CP2077 are good, you will be really happy with the results of the Baldor Gate 3 Test results (recorded in the central city in Act 3). My first runs with A57 Bios was far away, though, the game was ruined by a huge turmoil that repeated every 10 seconds or more.
This problem did not happen in CP2077, but it did in some other sports I experienced. It was the worst in the BG3, and you can see how much hit the 1 % lower frame rates. Fortunately, activation of the 200S Boost Mode completely removes the turmoil and the average frame rate promotes respectively 8 %.
Last part of us 2 re -developed
Our last part 2 is like a slightly cyberpanch 2077, in which the game hit the Yero Leak processor’s KP Corps very hard. However, it also uses e -cores too much, so after seeing some decent improvement in CP2077 and BG3, I hope I will see the same in Tlou2. I didn’t expect it to be These Very better, though.
In stock settings, MSI’s A57 BIOS, causing bad turmoil in the game, though the above performance data does not reflect. The reason for this is that it is less frequently than the Gate 3 of Baldoor, but you don’t really want to play with it. Once again, the 200S Boost Mode removed the whole problem And You get some improvement in the frame rate.
Compared to A50 BIOS, the average FPS is 13 % better, and 1 % less incredible 33 % higher. And it’s not just at 1080p that someone enjoys these developments, because TLO2 runs a funny 26 % faster on an average of 4K, which improves the lower 43 %. It’s just ridiculous, and I spent several hours to re -examine the game to confirm the data.
avowed
Sadly, every game does not benefit from the 200s boost mode, and there is an example. A57 Bios Without The promotion is in this dirty turmoil, among which the BG3 and Tall 2 with the frequency visible, and it completely ruins the 1 % lower frame rate.
Bost mode solves it, of course,, but you really do not see any of this. 1 % less growth in 1440p is difficult to explain (this was done to ensure the examination), because it has no mark at 1080p. Evod performance is somewhat contradictory at the best times, so it was disappointing that Intel’s new boost mode cannot help here.
The killer’s profession shadow
Just like the Evod, the shadow of Hassan’s profession did not get anything from using the 200 boost mode of 200, but it did not do any loss with the A57 in stock settings. I once had a single riot during a 1080p run, and I never tested it at 1440p and 4K.
Activating promotion Does Improve the overall ease of the game, though, even if you are not getting any more frames per second. At 1080p, the AC Shadow feels sharp and left behind with the 200s Boost, which is, regardless of how you see it.
Factor Benchmark Mark
Our factory benchmark does not play full game, just basic code without rendering. We use it because it is a good way to decide how good the processor’s cache system is and because D2D/NGU watches do not affect this aspect of CPU, so I did not expect any change in the new BIOS.
However, Stock A57 BIOS made the test 10 % slow, which shows that MSI has tweeted more than a few things in the new firmware and since enabling the 200s BIOS, the result of the test is brought in accordance with the stock A50 BIOS, I wonder if he supports the MSI, in other words, MSI, MSI’s, MSI’s, in other words, MSI. Expectation Instead of leaving users, activating the mood.
Intel 200S Boost: To use or use?
While I have only experienced A In the Ero Lake CPU A The Air Lake Mother Board, I am going out here on an organ and just say the clear thing: If you have Intel Core Ultra 200 S Gaming Rig, you should upgrade the Mother Board’s Bios and enable Bost Mode.
Unfortunately, it will do nothing for your sports performance, but best, you may also see some improvement in high resolution. If you play at 4K but enable advanced and frame generation, then there is no question about using 200 SS Boost mode.
There is only one warning for all of them. Setting your CPU is rotating more, and when Intel says the mode will not eliminate the processor’s warranty, it Equivalent Use more power. LI of A50 and A57 stock tests, I used MSI’s performance power profile, which sets PL1/PL2 limits to 250/295 W, and maximum core current 400 A.
Intel’s 200 SS Boost Mode chips to use default power profile (PL1, PL2 = 250 W, current range = 347 A), but significantly due to high D2D/NGU watches, will use more energy in chip gaming.
In Cyberpank 2077, I recorded an average of 156W use of an average CPU package power, which is more than 30 % higher than A50 BIOS, though other games are only used between 5 % and 9 % more power. Since I use a heavy 360 mm AIO liquid cooler, the average CPU temperature was barely changed – in CP20777, it was only 6 % higher.
It has no guarantee Your The Ero -Lake Gaming PC will increase the same performance or it will be 100 stable stable, but its price is MY, my 200 SS Boost Mode has been fine with active. So much that I will leave it permanently.
It is possible that you can get the same result, without using Intel’s Bost Mode, just surrounding the D2D and NGU watches yourself, but I suspect it is running more to work as stable, and some of them may not be accessible to Bios. It is also noteworthy that promoting the 200’s, locking you by changing most of the CPU settings in MSI Bios, and this can be all for shopkeepers.
I usually do not recommend PC users to upgrade the Mother Board BIOS to a sink, especially if everything is good and stable, but what do you know? I think you should be in this matter. Possible benefits are worth it.
Well, Intel. You have gone very wrong with the air leak, and while this boost mode will not make other ideas to the owner of any rise 79800x3d, it is a free performance promotion that any Intel fans should be happy.
