    All I've used the control panel for was when a game didn't have frame limiter so I put the maximum framrate to 200 instead of running it uncapped at 900+FPS and 99% utilisation constantly. It was also useful to turn on/off Vsync in some games where it caused problems with either jittering or heavy input delays.

      yes same here, i use the amd radeon software (amd equivalent of nvidia control panel) to limit my fps to 60 on GTA vice city, because the in-game one limits it to 30 and when uncap it runs at 500 which has issues like cars are always braking themselves and you can push cars by running into them.

      I do the same, I put NVC Global limit to 144 to match my refresh, then I use RTSS per-app limit of 60-144 (usually 90 FPS) to tweak individual games.
      This keeps menu FPS below 2000 and makes sure my frametimes are very tight, usually around 12-17ms no matter what I'm playing. I stopped messing with NVC settings years ago but things like DLDSR, resolution and video color settings are all good to tweak and setup to your preference. And as you said it's useful to force stop Vsync or ensure 16x anisotropic gets applied if in-game doesn't include it, etc
      In my experience Unity games are the easiest to "optimize" with ini edits, thread priority, etc But none of that is accomplished in control panel.

    The only good return I have had from Nvidia Control Panel was where I had severe screen tearing due to a mismatch between refresh ratio of my monitor (144hz) and the arbitrary FPS lock (60 FPS) I set for Forza Horizon 5 through Nvidia Control Panel (You cannot use 30/60/120 locks in the game with a 144hz monitor, it will be 48/72/144). Disabling the trilinear optimization from Nvidia Control Panel fixed the tearing issue for me in that game.

    Before I get my very 1st NVIDIA card, I used APU chipset (Ryzen 5 3400G) to play and do various things (but mostly playing). I followed various video tutorials on how to optimized the Vega 11 in performance, but all failed until a one video tutorial that shown the modded version of the adrenaline, it run smoother than the official adrenaline software, but sometimes it worsen the issue. (It was called R.ID driver). The point was it's better to just use the driver itself and not use the additional program for the sake of optimization, because sometimes seeking for the best of best performance of your hardware will only lead to more issue and/or problem.
    Anyway, great video it's informative and clear.
    The content is clear unlike others who makes the video longer by adding unnecessary things.

    an important thing to mention here is that, some settings, actually do something like reflex for example, or shader cache (altough no performance be gained) it does help with latency.

Shadercache won't impact much but when set to low amounts can cause stutters, you can set it to 10gb, or if you have a hard drive with lower capacity (like 250 gb or 120gb) set the shadercache to a lower amount

      @@natto6157You are confusing Reflex (in-game only settings) with the low latency mode setting found in Nvidia control panel. In every game that supports Reflex, you should 100% have it enabled as it is by far our best option and it overrides the NVCP setting. HOWEVER, what most of these idiots always seem to recommend is to set Low latency mode in NVCP to "ultra" which INCREASES latency instead of decreasing it in MOST games, because it is completely bugged, and simultaneously decreases your FPS by altering the render queue. Look up videos of actual latency testing with advanced hardware on YT - you will see. Sometimes it will literally 2x input latency. Instead, set low latency mode to "on", vertical sync to OFF (increases latency), G-sync enabled, and frame cap in-game (#1 choice) or per individual game in NVCP settings (#2 choice) to a comfortable FPS that your system can sustain without stuttering which will happen usually when it hits 100% GPU usage even at 100+ FPS. In single player games, just frame cap to where your GPU is below 100% usage like 90% of the time, and 100% of the time for competitive games. I autistically self-tested every setting mentioned here, it's definitely the best configuration 9/10 times.

The next time the game wants the same shader it will pull it from the cache rather than building it again.

      I'll save you the trouble - it 100% works. Increases average FPS a bit but mainly it increases 1% lows in demanding games a LOT or at least it did for me. I'm talking 50% gains in one particular UE4 game with trash optimization. I have no idea why though. Some people report zero benefit on their systems too so who knows - just something to try out for yourself and see what happens.

    The really best and useful parameter in nvidia control panel is VSync. There is a multiple modes, and best one is fast mode. If you don't have display with dynamic Hz, it will remove desync without framerate drop! But be careful, it may broke some elements in game, for example, i got unworking screens (ingame world assets) in Atomic Heart. It was really hard to find out why it is not working

    If anythinf, control panel settings smooth out your experience, whether its stuttering or artifacts. Like he says, we use to use the control panel because games back in the day were less complex and we were able to control settings at a driver level. We have come a long way that the reason I use the control panel is make a game work properly, not to have a huge increase in FPS, if theres any increase at all.

    Most of the time I only need nvidia control panel for : gsync, vsync, max frame, and resolution / hz settings. Maybe performance mode and now RTX HDR and things will be useful in the new beta app. But yea it’s not really about increasing performance (as much as getting most out of your display). It’s about doing settings to match up well with your monitor or how you’re playing a game. We probably only need 5 settings most of the time.

    • @gonozal8_962

    i think the nvidia control panel only has an use while changing stuff like pre rendered frames and low latency mode. most of the game tweaks should come from profile inspector as that actually has a change on how the games look (for example fortnite is affected by profile inspector's lod settings and does increase framerate from my personal testing)

  • @jufejufinho

    There are some games that are not optimized that really benefit from these configurations. Like Tarkov, which is poorly optimized, on standard settings you get about 30 fps on a 3090/ryzen 9 combo, but by correcting some things in nvidia control pannel and windows it goes up to 240 fps.

    The only few things that work in the Control panel and Profile inspector is the vsync ( which works on all directx games), Force Texture in Ram instead of the vram( works for only directx9 games). Anisotropic filtering works on a few directx games( tested with ninja gaiden master collection). Any texture setting in both panels(Nvidia control panel and Profile Inspector) Works only with opengl and vulkan. And also Memory buffering in Nvidia Profile profile inspector, which stores by-prodcuts into the ram temporary when the vram is getting full, is what I can confirm-working inside these panels. Most of the rest are obsolete. If you really need to tweak nvidia for performance test then I recommend reading the *.inf graphics driver file. It contains a lot of vallid tweaks to try; Eg: pruning mode, texture conpression and more. Sorry for my bad english.

    Of course don’t forget to enable Gsync in the control panel. Vsync and frame rate limiter used with gsync is also worth it for the ultra smooth tear free experience in my opinion except for super competitive games where you actually care about the latency (I can’t tell the difference in latency with it off but I sure can see the tearing and that is very distracting and makes your framerate look way lower than it is). Other than that there isn’t much of a reason to touch the control panel again.

    @benfrese3573 Před 2 měsíci

    There is to note that there ARE settings that can have an impact. Especially the "Max Prerendered Frames" (now called Low Latency Mode) which, as far as I understand it, would decrease input lag at the cost of hitting the CPU harder since the frame buffer is lower. So when the CPU can't deliver fast enough Low Latency Mode might result in stutters (I have that in Elden Ring where the CPU is already under pressure, so turning of LLM helps with stutters on my R5 3600)
    All that said: great video and please keep on Myth-Busting!
