Process Lasso for better DAW performance ?!

OK, here it is:

  1. Launch NVIDIA Control Panel. Click on “Manage 3D settings” in the left hand panel.
  2. Click the Program Settings tab.
  3. Under “Select a program to customize:” enter the location of the Cubase10.exe (or whatever Cubase version you have) and click Add button.
  4. Under “Specify the settings for this program:” scroll down to Power management mode, click on the current setting to get the dropdown menu, and then select “Prefer maximum performance”

To my understanding, what this does is keep the graphics card responding at highest performance so it doesn’t tie up CPU cores, leading to a latency problem. The setting is set whenever you start Cubase, and changed back to default when you close it.

I suppose it could be set under Global Settings, but since I don’t really know what the card is doing, I thought, best just leave it alone for everything else besides Cubase.

Somebody who is a gamer could probably explain it much better.
