Just get rid of your config file, it's probably corrupted now which is the source of your problem

 

I'm having an issue with my OC profiles not working on Skyrim since yesterday. All I did was update my Tinfoil/Mercury install. I'm still running on 8.1, and my OC settings seem to be working in every other game still.
However when I load up Skyrim, it doesn't seem to take my settings, no matter what I set the clocks to in the editor. I already tried setting an OC on qLaunch, as suggested a few posts back by someone with a similar issue, but it didn't seem to have any effect. Also tried deleting my config file, didn't have any effect, either.

Here is the sys-clk log for launching Skyrim. Everything looks fine to me, but I figured I should add it to try to give as much info as possible.

Code:

And help is appreciated, thanks!

 

Have you actually checked the logs if it's setting the clocks correctly or not? Some games just don't benefit as much or at all from overclocking, so it's not enough to just look at them.

 

I couldn't care less about problems linked to piracy usage

 

Stay away from blwar's malware and you'll be all good.

 

In vanilla Sys-clk, you can go higher than 460mhz, if you use it with the nintendo charger plugged in. You can set the GPU clock up to docked speeds. The limits were put in place for a reason. They aren't just arbitrary limits "because this looks good."

Remove this.

 

Removed file. Totally understandable given average user won't understand potential issues with this

Given what was said above ^ I will not be distributing the file on this thread. The only thing that was modified was bypassing the hardcoded gpu limit in handheld mode. If you know the big risks that come with bypassing that. You can compile it with the source on GitHub.

 

How much of a difference is the strain on the battery in handheld between 1785mhz cpu, 1600mhz ram, and 460mhz gpu, and 768mhz gpu with everything else stock? Does the gpu require more power to scale frequency than the other components? Has any testing been done to determine this?
