3:30 shot out to my friend who bought a 144hz monitor and played for over a year on 60hz because he connected his monitor to pc with both displayport and hdmi
bruh what
oof
aaaoooccchhh
OOF
I feel the same. I did the same mistake buying the PG278QR and using a GTX 750Ti with no displayport output so I was stuck at 60 fps :(
I like to toggle the setting, “More Good”, to “On”.
Bruh, I don't have that setting,I do have one that says "HAHA", what does that do?

Just toggle the "power supply style" switch, to 480v. (this option, will charge capacitors stiff, so they don't discharge so soon - if ever).
My number one graphics settings 'PRO TIP'
Disable motion blur in all the things.
Yep and Depth of field. wow i want my enemies to be blurred out in the distance.
I really wanna know, who thought it was a great idea to integrate both settings
@@ReDHaWko really makes MGSV a harder game with depth of field. takes 2 seconds to actually focus, and moving your Int-scope resets the blur like ffs
Motion blur actually makes sense if you want the gaming experience to be close to how it is in real life. If you take a second to pan your head, you'll notice that your surroundings are blurred while doing it. So there. For the sake of being close to the real thing, developers actually spent time on motion blur. It sounds like cheating if you turn off motion blur. Well... Unless you are hawkeye or green arrow which is unlikely 🤣🤣
@@xchanandlerbong you can train your brain/eyes to crazy things. People who dont play that often may seem natural with blur on.
but people who play often, tricks the eye to give natural blur when turning around like in real life. (thats my teori, i dont know if there is something about it)
because it really strains on my eyes when its on
@@xchanandlerbong The human eye automatically blurs things outside of the five degrees of focus.
Many devs add the blur to make the jagged edges of the geometry smoother, rather than for realism.
So at the most it's redundant, and at the least it's a bandaid for limited geometric detail.

one advice that really helped me when I was younger was, if you cant get your stove to high enough temperatures to cook food.. a geforce 480 is a good replacement to heat up those pans and pots
With an i7 laptop with dedicated nvidia gpu I was able to heat my house to 30*C on winter using only Minecraft.
No heating required.
Sadly on summer Minecraft was lagging, but at least I had home sauna I could invite my friends to.
Would a evga 460 work?
I'm trying to convert my oven into a pizza oven
No but for real my last apartment was small and I had I7-6700k + gtx 1080 that shit heated up my room quite a bit... 😅
I bought a 480 used a couple years ago for 20 bucks. My dad complained the underneath of his desk was noticably hotter than before, and he had a 970 previously (my mom stole that one) ... The 480 died and he has a GT 430 now I think but it plays World of Warcraft good enough for him
I had a 470 in the first computer I built. Very prone to overheating. I remember it hitting the max safe temp and shutting down probably half a dozen times
expect little fan noise

One of my friends had 2 144hz monitors but he never had it on. When I went to his place (precovid) I just asked if I can check his settings and there it was, the option to set it from 60 hz to 144
My old roommate had a 4k monitor and was using a very old HDMI cable pulling all of 30FPS and he thought it was his GPU not being strong enough so sold it. I found the problem like 10 minutes before he had to sell it and he wasn't thrilled
@@liiich6175 poor dude haha .. what graphics card was he going to sell because he thought it was the problem and what graphics card did he plan to upgrade to from there and did he actually end up selling it or did he tell the guy he changed his mind?

It's pretty lame that Windows doesn't just figure that stuff out on it's own. It can figure out my resolution, but the least it can do is prompt me to set my hz.

I do like motion blur in pair with low graphic settings. It masks the textures when you're moving and makes you focus on other stuff. However, in a competetive game where visibility and agility is priority, i turn it off
@George Moussa 🤢🤮
Yes, motion blur, film grain an chromatic abberation are settings only there to torture our eyes.
Got to remember that those Nvidia control-panel settings only half of the time works.
I second this (although my setup is strange) I have a 7900x and 1070 ti sli. Vsync only works sometimes for me, and you need it on for games like skyrim or fallout because of the engine
@@jamienolan6182 There are many ways to implement VSync in games (especially in Skyrim) and you don't need it turned on in this game, you simply need it's FPS capped to 60 (which you can do in NVIDIA control panel and on the Skyrim engine setting itself). Unless you are talking about major screen tearing, then you do need some form of screen refresh synchronization.
@@viduani My biggest complaint is AA not working in numerous games..
And then it resets when there’s a driver update anyway...
@@jamienolan6182 why not just use Riva
I would also recommend checking your Nvidia control panel color settings because I think by default the color depth is set to limited and you can get more color range by switching it to Full
anisotropic filtering gives crisper texture filtering for textures at extremely oblique angles relative to the camera. it does NOT make objects in the distance sharper. kind of a big oof on that one guys :p
Seriously, it seems like whoever wrote the script for this video did about 10 seconds of googling beforehand. Misinformation galore.
This will definitely help after i reset my settings and do them again
anisoropic filtering makes horizontal textures looks sharper, the better game to notice this is in gtaV with the roadmarks.
The AC images you guys used are almost identical, not good for making a visual diference... just saying..
I really appreciated this! Thanks!
thx you for give a lot of tip for us to understand
3:50 I think you can change color settings for specific games on AMD GPUs
in the latest builds, you can change practically *everything* on a per-application basis. excluding resolution *If* you're using a custom resolution for some reason (which I had to do because this HD TV makes a very big but not great for gaming PC monitor) with custom timings.
(addendum) Also, AMD will do it's own hardware scaling for video output in full screen, so my 4k screen always thinks the video is 4k, even when it's 1080p. Not sure if that's because I've got a custom resolution or not.
@@DFX2KX In Nvidia panel you could do that since forever. Having different settings for each program or game.

Threaded optimization?
Anti Aliasing?
Low Latency mode?
You missed some big ones
Yes and forcing Triple Buffering? Only works for OpenGL. Yikes.
Downscaling isn't technically the same as supersampling either, but that's more semantic.
I think Threaded Optimization only works for systems with multiple CPU or GPU, don't remember but one of the two.
@@EV3RGREEN Threaded Optimization affects multi-core cpus, not multiples lmao.
@@gr8b8m85 I checked and you're correct, it applies to multiple CPU cores not multiple CPUs. It's unclear as its description in the NVCP is "multiple CPUs". However, it only applies to OpenGL. Can confirm as when its parameters are exposed in NvInspector, it only refers to OGL.
@@EV3RGREEN i used for years tripple buffering on a HD 6970 with DX11 games and it worked. Otherwise i could only play with 60 fps or 30, but i had always any framerate between ;)
@@EV3RGREEN In computer science, people often use the words "multiple CPUs" and "multiple CPU cores" interchangeably so don't worry.
Thank you so much for your guidance, it is very helpful. 😊 Simple, directly and clearly answers are what we need.
I have a few tips:
1. Set HDMI output dynamic range to Full (0-255) rather than limited
2. Use windows display calibration
3. Under desktop size and position (on nvidia control panel) select perform scaling on GPU because it’s usually better than monitor scaling. If available, use nearest neighbour scaling if you are doing 1080p to 4K upscaling, for other resolutions normal scaling is better. Techquickie made a video about “Why old games look so BAD” that explains why nearest neighbour (or bilinear sharp) is useful.
4. Check if Video colour management is managed by software or the GPU - software is usually better but in certain circumstances GPU might get better results.
5. If you’re watching movies, for the best experience it is better to use a frame rate that is divisible by 24 (e.g. 120hz or 144hz). I usually use 24hz when using my TV for movies, and 30 or 60hz for other stuff. Also if you experience stuttering, a non-native resolution may help too.
Double check if these settings persist after a graphics driver update or if you make changes to your windows display settings.

Awesome!!!! Thanks guys this is suuupa helpful. You guys rock
My brain was screaming when I heard you say "anisotropic". An-i-so-tropic.
I’ve always wondered what happens when you have say... MSAA enabled in your gpu settings but have FXAA or TAA on in the game? Does it enable MSAA only or does it do both or WHAT?? I NEED TO KNOW
I would think it probably does both
@jvalex18 not at all. MSAA does not anti-alias temporal textures. FXAA and TAA do. That being said, FXAA is shit and no one should ever use it. TAA is garbage too, but it's good enough for most people. And MSAA is too demanding for what it's worth.
@@Dorraj MSAA takes 20 fps off my average ffs, shame coz it really clears up the image of distant objects in certain games
When in doubt, leave it alone
Locking a voltage on vcore with or without an overclock applied to maintain a constant frequency I have found often gives more consistent performance and easier to predict and therefore manage temperatures
3:42 You can also try using Nvidia Freestyle, or Nvidia filters to change the brightness in your games. You could also use ReShade to do that if you have an AMD GPU.
generally plugging in the cables all the way (making sure they've snapped in place) tends to help with overclocking stability.

Good points. In addition to all of those, I set "Texture filtering - Quality" to "High Performance" (nvidia cp) instead of the default :)
Texture filtering impact is almost non-exsistent
Is it bugged or something? Because normally texture filtering has virtually zero impact on performance while improving some of the graphics significantly.
Texture filtering has zero impact on performance. Texture filtering optimizations were designed for VERY old gpu's. The texture quality LOD bias setting also does nothing on modern gpu's. Though, I do leave it on high performance as I notice no quality decrease. Not sure if there's a performance boost, though.
you can still adjust it in game..
@@campkira those are control panel exclusive. there's a few options in the control panel that allow you to enable optimizations for texture filtering. keep in mind, texture filtering is about the lowest costing graphical option ever. I don't see a point in just making it uglier. i'd keep it at high quality.

hi there he is talking about the closed caption
Here's another tip: Nvidia introduced a framerate cap option (20-1000 fps) several drivers ago, which you can enable either globally or per-game. Since tons of older games (and even some newer ones) don't have an adjustable in-game cap, this is a very useful option for A) syncing your framerate to your monitor's refresh rate to reduce/negate vertical tearing without the performance impact of v-sync and B) lowering your maximum framerate for the sake of giving your GPU more headroom to handle potential performance spikes (ex: capping at a low framerate on an older GPU or at 60 for a poorly optimized game).
This video made me check my settings. That's when I noticed I never bothered to download the drivers for my card LOL. Works great now! Thx
Hahahaha wtf
it just mean you play game that don't require you to get driver.. those driver help with more modern game.. since some game run test before let you play them...
When you have G-Sync ON, V-Sync should be ON and Triple buffering should always be OFF, also cap the framerate slightly below your monitor's. That way you get the best performance out of your FreeSync monitor (smoothness+low latency+no tearing+low power consumption).
Source:Blurbusters blurbusters.com/gsync/gsync101-input-lag-tests-and-settings/14/
I thought Vsync should be off/ didn't matter when Freesync/Gsync is on?
@@0FFICERPROBLEM the source he linked talks about it.

*laughs with intel hd graphics 520*
Ah man, what are those?
The best thing i have here is resolution
I have Intel HD graphics 3000, which is apparently so old they've changed the numbering convention.
In my experience the stock settings are crap and very limited, but if you want to try custom drivers optimized for gaming (they're out there) you can squeeze a little bit more performance on stock and get a load more settings to tweak.
Can't say I've tried them, I just know they exist

OMG I never thought to adjust the gamma setting through the GPU! Thank you! I was kinda regretting my Dell S2417DG because of the crappy black level, I dropped the gamma level on the GPU for that screen and it looks so much better! Thanks!
alt+f3 geforce experience makes it so you can put filters over your games. Theres a sharpening filter which can make lower render resolutions look better. There's also a filter that can make shadows less dark. You can combine multiple filters
Did you forget the setting Texture Filtering - Quality? In my mind that brought me the most fps on a bad laptop i had years ago and still set it to max performance on my gaming rig.

There are so many people that we have followed for so many years, and then there are certain interesting people that only appear rarely. And as LTT videos are a performance, it would be nice to have video with enough people to force that to be non-scripted or rehearsed. Getting enough people in the same place at the same time might be problematic and expensive, but at least it wouldn't need editing or writing. And it would be the kind of video that makes audience care about you guys more, which should transfer to money as well.

I just got into PC gaming several months ago.
Best tip I've gotten, is to actually render your games at a lower resolution than your monitor and then scale them up to fit, if you are using a 4k display. Also turn on integer scaling in the nvidia control panel (sorry, not sure what that would be for amd/radeon). It will help with improving fps in games.
Rendering games natively at 4k takes a lot of resources, and your fps takes a good hit, even on a fairly good gpu (I have an rtx 2070 super).
The combination of rendering the game at a lower resolution, like 1080p, w/200% upscaling in game + integer scaling from the gpu control panel, will give near identical results as rendering your game at 4k native resolution, but saves a bunch of hardware resources for higher fps.
Also avoid using vsync if you can. It caps your frame rate and I've still experienced frame tearing. A better option is if you can take advantage of gsync (nvidia) or freesync (amd/radeon). This is a hardware feature on your monitor & video card. Nvidia gpus will do gsync on a freesync monitor, but it's limited to to the display port cable.
Of note, keep in mind that if you have an older monitor that has an older standard of freesync (1.2), hdr is not supported over display port.
Maxed out anti-aliasing and anisotropic filtering are AMAZING to use in older games that didn't have them originally. Or just in GTA 5 whose anisotropic filtering doesn't work at all.
These are great explanations. A couple of tips: in GTA V, I'd get random framerate hitches (input lag) that I solved by enabling VSync in the nVidia Control Panel Program Settings instead of in-game (in-game I have VSync off). Second tip: older games with camera shake effects or other specific physics settings can go bonkers on newer hardware, so dial them down a bit (or prepare to randomly barf when J.J. Abrams smacks you from behind. Older PhysX on newer cards sometimes means weird shit flying around that probably shouldn't be. :P
i like how the video is outdated before even getting released lol
They didnt use amd adrenalin
One of my favorite tips: if you're gaming on a laptop with a powerful GPU, look into GPU undervolting. Super easy and safe, and can really improve the lifespan of your GPU and drop temps significantly. Laptops thermal throttle like nobody's business. czcams.com/video/rV0tWKLAprg/video.html
Make sure you have your gpu scaling option set to aspect ratio instead of stretch. Or else older 4:3 games may look stretched. Another option is for video you can change it from 16-235 to 0-255 for more contrast.....however this can over do it. You may also need to set vlc to dx9 mode for it to work, and vlc in dx9 mode can stutter (option is at the bottom tab in Nvidia)

With the recent Radeon software, you can change the color reproduction settings per game, although it'll go back to global settings if focus is lost on the game if you are using a second display.
Bruh you used the old AMD radeon software
I cringed at an-NEE-so-tropic
Yeah, its an-iso-tropic.
Maybe he is one of the knights who say NEE
@@alternamasaki429 Arent they knights?
You have a negative reaction but the root of the word is imported from the ancient Greek word isos (equal) and that is pronounced 'eesohs'. In Latinization the letter i is pronounced 'ee' as in long e. It's actually more correct to pronounce it the way he does and in English it's an acceptable pronunciation of that root.
@@Etnachan Ok so do you pronounce Isotropic as Eesotropic? Isotope as Esotpe?
Thank you!
2:02 *Anisotropic filtering helps textures look better when they are stretched more in one direction than the other(because of the angle of an object).
Isotropic means the same in all directions. Anisotropic means it's NOT the same in all directions :).
I am here even though I don't have a GPU
- Comment by Intel HD gang
i will definitely try these
I think one of the most important ones is using the colour vibrancy setting, bumping that up makes your monitor look so much better in my opinion
One thing you missed is to improve the default Antialiasing with the GPU settings, to eiter improve performance or quality of Antialiasing.
English subtitles are funny: "After four years of trolling, I'd like to use a bit of sharing, but I'm going to use a little cheaper ransom sauce."
Using DSR for upscaling can increase input lag aswell.
those are all good features to look at in video card settings. the most important thing i've always found with gaming video cards in general, is to use some kind of utility, like EVGA's Precision, to manually run up the video card's fan speeds to 80 or 100 percent, whenever running any kind of graphically demanding application at all. these things heat up fast when you actually use them. you can play with auto fan control options, but i've had better luck just pushing the speed to max and leaving it there for the duration. yeah it's a little noisy, but i'm wearing headphones aren't i
There's also a saying, "High quality for playing the game, ultra for screenshots." I typically don't put settings over high unless I have extra headroom because there usually isn't a huge difference so you won't notice unless you literally stop to take a screenshot
"Ramp up when you play a game"
cuts to 2:24 playing wow, the game with more CPU usage than video... lawl
Changing the memory and GPU clock speed. That's my favorite.
Thank you for considering red AND green in this video.
You mentioned resolution, but forgot to mention refresh rate. A lot of stock settings default to 60Hz even on 144Hz monitors so it's always good to check on that.
