Hi guys,

I would like to know if there is a way to change my GPUs power setting simply by pressing one of the extra buttons on my mouse.

Quick info:
GPU is an ASUS R9 270x
Mouse is a Cyborg R.A.T. 7
OS is Win 8.1

To change my GPU settings, I have to double click the icon in the system tray and choose one of 6 preset settings.

Setting 1, for example, is a higher power usage, higher mem clock, and high fan speed for when I play games. Setting 2 drops the settings back to default for when my computer will be idle.

The RAT7 has a Mode button that lets me swap between 3 preset button keybind profiles.
i.e. Mode 1 for MMOs, Mode 2 for FPS, etc.

Would it be possible for me to use the Mode buttons for my GPUs presets?
I never go back and forth between keybind Modes anyway, so I would only be using the buttons for the GPU presets.

Thanks,
Tylox

not really no, cause the mouse needs to click other places etc. and you can't insert a macro to tell the mouse where to click :/

Yeah I figured there'd be some kind of a script or something a bit advanced, I'm not too knowledgeable with that sort of thing. Thanks for the response, though!
