Hi all, following this [post](https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/how-to-set-power-management-mode-automatically/59396/1) - I’m trying to use nvapi.dll to set the power management mode, but when I’m looking on the export table of this DLL file I don’t see any function except nvapi\_QueryInterface.

More specifically - I’m looking for the NvAPI\_DRS\_SetSetting function, that should be there according to [this documentation](https://developer.download.nvidia.com/NVAPI/PG-5116-001_v01_public.pdf)

Can someone help me to find a way to change the power management mode from software?

Thanks

hi lior

you can download nvapi SDK at [https://developer.nvidia.com/rtx/path-tracing/nvapi/get-started](https://developer.nvidia.com/rtx/path-tracing/nvapi/get-started)  
Should have such interface.
