Motherboard manufacturers are forced to make changes to BIOS settings to ensure compatibility of the latest Intel processors with NVIDIA graphics cards, which may result in reduced performance.
Power Limit
ASUS Updates
ASUS has released a BIOS update with a new Intel Baseline Profile option for Z790 and B760. This feature allows you to return to Intel's factory default settings, reducing power limits and improving stability in games. However, this could lead to a noticeable drop in the performance of K-series processors. Tim Sweeney, head of Epic Games, praised this decision, noting that users want an easy way to reset settings to proven stable values.
MSI Recommendations
MSI suggests selecting the Intel Default option in the overclocking settings for its motherboards in CPU Lite Load Control. In addition, in the CPU Cooling Tuning item, you should select Boxed Cooler, which will set the PL1 limit to 253 W for Core i9 processors. These settings are not yet available in the BIOS, but are expected to appear in an upcoming update.
Gigabyte Updates
Gigabyte has also released a BIOS update for boards with Z790 and B760 chipsets. In the Advanced CPU Settings -> Intel Baseline section, you can select the Turbo Power Limits setting to reduce the processor power limit.

Interestingly, motherboard manufacturers have come up with a solution to the instability problem with NVIDIA graphics cards and the new 13th and 14th generation Intel processors. 👍 By changing processor profiles and lowering TDP limits, they try to stabilize the system.
Виктор
Yes, ASUS has released a BIOS update with a new Intel Baseline Profile setting. 🆙 It will now be possible to use the Intel base profile with all their limitations to improve stability in games. Seems like a good solution.
Мария
I heard that when this function is enabled, the performance of K-series processors noticeably decreases. 😕 But maybe it's better than an unstable job. The main thing is that the games run smoothly.
Генрих
Eh, again a compromise between performance and stability. 🙄 But at least the developers acknowledged the problem and are working on fixing it. Although this is a trial and error method.
Михаил
What does Tim Sweeney from Epic Games think about this? He seems to criticize tech companies a lot. 🤔 I wonder how he reacted to the introduction of basic profiles.
Виктор
Surprisingly, Tim Sweeney commented positively on this decision. He said users want an easy way to reset settings to those that have been tested by the manufacturer for stability. 💯
Павел
Brrr, again these manufacturers are forcing compromises. 😒 I prefer stable work, but I don't want to lose precious productivity. I hope they find a more elegant solution in the future.
Елена
At least MSI and Gigabyte also released BIOS updates with special settings to improve stability. 🙌 Looks like the industry has come together to solve this compatibility problem.
