Each BIOS mode is paired with matching Windows Power Mode. You can adjust this setting under Fans + Power

  1. Silent in BIOS + Best power efficiency power mode
  2. Balanced (Performance in AC) in BIOS + Balanced power mode
  3. Turbo in BIOS + Best performance power mode

  2. Standard (MS Hybrid) : iGPU and dGPU enabled, iGPU drives built in display
  3. Ultimate: iGPU and dGPU enabled, but dGPU drives built in display (supported on 2022+ models)

🔖 Important Notice

G-Helper is NOT an operating system, firmware, or driver. It DOES NOT "run" your hardware in real-time anyhow.

It's an app that lets you select one of the predefined operating modes created by manufacturer (and stored in BIOS) and optionally(!) set some settings that already exist on your device same as Armoury Crate can. It does it by using the Asus System Control Interface "driver" that Armoury uses for it.

If you use equivalent mode/settings as in Armoury Crate - the performance or the behavior of your device won't be different.

The role of G-Helper for your laptop is similar to the role of a remote control for your TV.
