    NO. I am experiencing the same problem. It is not the video card that is the problem. The problem is that efficiency mode causes the video card to crash if someone is using the same browser in two windows to search the internet and watch YouTube at the same time. This is because efficiency mode severely limits the amount of RAM, VRAM, and other resources and when our computers reach that limit the YouTube stops playing. And if someone is playing an online game in multiple tabs - say, Farm Town for example helping multiple friends boost factory production times - then the system crashes because of efficiency doing this. It has NOTHING to do with Nvidia or AMD.

    I'm going to try deleting whatever .exe file is used for efficiency mode if it even exists. I'll see if that solves the issue.

    Have they already made an option available to disable this **** function, or are they still thinking, reading books, or what, we need to have the option to disable this or Microsoft no longer respects "customers".

    It's funny that no one solves this, we don't own our equipment, shame on these people who call themselves professionals (Microsoft)... Note that this harms the customer, we are waiting for a solution.
