Also confusing is that, in addition to the modes, there is another selection window "Power Mode" with further options for power control. For example, it just displayed a black window during some starts. The software isn't always entirely free of errors. The GPU benchmarks then run in gaming mode.

In the end, we performed the CPU benchmarks without the Control Center, i.e. So we had to decide between good performance but louder fans, or quieter operation with weaker performance. Here we were faced with the difficult choice of the performance mode: there are a total of five here, and we had a hard time choosing between Content Creator and Gaming. Therefore, and because the fans never stood still at first, we installed the Gigabyte Control Center afterwards. The power modes preinstalled in Windows by Gigabyte had virtually no influence on CPU performance in Cinebench R15.


Our test device didn't have a Control Center preinstalled, so there were no performance modes to begin with.
