How to get rid of NVIDIA PowerMizer?
You need to remove whatever you've added to xorg.conf, and add something like the following:
Section "Device"
Identifier "NVIDIA GeForce"
Driver "nvidia"
Option "RegistryDwords" "PerfLevelSrc=0x3322; PowerMizerDefaultAC=0x1"
EndSection
PerfLevelSrc=0x3322
means it's going to use fixed PowerMizer mode when on AC.
PowerMizerDefaultAC=0x1
defines the power mode, with 0x1
being Maximum performance.
There is no need to reboot, just logout/login.
