// HACK!!!: When a program uses cuda (including nvenc) then the nvidia driver drops to performance level 2 (memory transfer rate is dropped and possibly graphics clock).
// Nvidia does this because in some very extreme cases of cuda there can be memory corruption when running at max memory transfer rate.
// So to get around this we overclock memory transfer rate (maybe this should also be done for graphics clock?) to the best performance level while GPU Screen Recorder is running.

// TODO: Does it always drop to performance level 2?
