T-REX with Windows Task Scheduler

MSI Afterburner

Create your profiles from the GUI application.

Here:

• Profile 1 is the optimized settings
• Profile 5 is the default settings

Profile 1

GPU #0: RTX 3070 - 59.18 MH/s, [T:63C, P:118W, F:38%, E:501kH/W]

Profile 5

Default settings

Adapt Scripts

Edit start_t-rex.bat and stop_t-rex.bat then adapt:

• paths
• profiles
• t-rex.exe command arguments

Windows Task Scheduler

Open CMD with admin rights and create the following tasks:

schtasks /create /sc daily /tn "T-REX\START" /tr "E:\DEV\t-rex-win-task-scheduler\start_t-rex.bat" /st 23:45 /rl highest /it

schtasks /create /sc daily /tn "T-REX\STOP" /tr "E:\DEV\t-rex-win-task-scheduler\stop_t-rex.bat" /st 06:45 /rl highest /it

Note: if the /it argument is not set MSI Afterburner profile switching seems not working.
