Here are the settings I tested: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1UdR8BbLaFhbVv8VNhMhK4o3fdyskaKRj2cMYJSj2Q7A/edit?usp=sharing
Thanks
hey dude im trying to show someone something but all my comments to guide them to the comparison are being filtered, i don't know what could be causing it?
@@CoCo.-_- Not sure why that is, not seeing anything held for review on my side!
@@pc_blend rip, thanks anyway, have no clue why youtube would stop me even helping someone find something on google haha
Say hello to apex, wz, Fortnite. Get more smooth and +fps with performance.
It makes me sick to think about how much money channels like Panjno have made over the last 10 years. The guy copy and pastes his vids for every game that comes out and his guides make little to no difference.
True. If you watch his videos he never show stats in the end. Just goes to show how useless his optimization guides are.
Fr, this is that one guy that ruined my new pc experience 1.5 years ago
He makes really good quality convincing video but all the stuff he says are useless. He copy pastes every other optimization guides and his own previous ones as well + has sponsors and multiple adds on each videos...
And somehow his comments are always positive which back then led be beleive that maybe these all actually do give me free performance but really no 😭
@@dr.bishop1126he shows stats in beginning but the gap there is 100. Where we living
Same here, really. Just imagine the amount of money they received and how dissapointed people were in those "tutorials" if we can call them like this.
There is a channel called shogoz, he’s a less know channel but he makes funny guides on optimising apps such as NVIDA control panel and always makes fun of morons who make guides but don’t know what they are talking about, for shogoz’s last Nvidia control panel video (it’s a little old now) he actually reached out to Nvidia to get to the truth of what each setting actually does.
This video is so nicely edited and helpful... but the best thing is that you resumed it in around 3 minutes instead of a 20 minutes long essai
true. i HATE long videos, especially the videos that are 10+ minutes for no reason. the only real reason for them being long is so that they can get money out of it, which is fine, people want money, its not charity work right? but please give us what we clicked for in 2 or 3 mintues and if you want to make a longer video then talk in further details and make it obvious that the rest of the video is for those who are curious about it or have other questions, you know?
I think everyone goes through the phase of messing with as many settings as possible to squeeze performance out of their machines just for them to perform similar while breaking several other things.
so painful but so true at the same time ;(
Yes, but I learned a lot and can now optimize much better. Well, just go to the panel to see if there are any unnecessary throttling, everything else is done in Windows or in the Game
I think it is great for everyone to start off with a bac pc so that they learn what each part does and what each game setting does & overall understand computers more
That was me the other night with ark. And it's crazy cause I'm not into fps. I just had to know, was I getting decent frames, and I was. Someone said I was getting 25fps, but I get between 30 and 40. With dips below 25. But not often. Now I just want to maximize what I have. Maybe I can play asa on epic settings one day.
My computer cant sleep and i cant use one drive anymore, but everything is a small sacrifice for -2 ping
The only useful options in control panel for me are V-Sync, G-Sync, Frame rate limiter, Low Latency Modes and a power plan. And only change those per game, not globally
For power mode, I set adaptive globally.
ylits also worth doing monitor oc. if you have a sub 120hz monitor
sometimes monitors support 75hz but dont expose it
also dsr and dldsr
This adds input latency. If there isn't a FPS limiter in game it's probably better to leave it alone. There's an excellent Monitor's Unboxed video that explains this.
I absolutely hate screen tearing so enabling V-Sync is a godsend
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.
@@shivamverma7151In that case, I don't think they tested it without vsync
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.
That is a nice trick. Some developers just make this basic mistake and max out gpu usage for no reason. I do not want 1000 fps for a 2d game on a 60 hz monitor. 😂
a good thing is also using custom reses for stretched res
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.
This is a great video, especially coming from a smaller creator. I would've liked to have seen a link in the description to a list of which settings you changed between the three banchmarks and what they were changed to.
It's not that I don't believe you, your argument makes perfect sense. However, when you use terms like "mythbusting misinformation", it's a good idea to include information like this so your viewers can verify it for themselves should they want to.
Once again, great job on the video!
Great suggestion, I've added it in the description. Thanks!
@@pc_blend Just wanted to say I subbed to you for this reason alone. You listened to the feedback and actually did something about it. Good job man.
The real benefit of software guides is not raw FPS uplift, but in increasing consistency and timing. Which is arguably more valuable in today’s day and age.
increasing your shader cache to 10GB and clamping negative LOD bias can improve stutter, especially in VR
100% TRUE! (though the adjustments for G-Sync are kinda needed to make it work properly, sadly...)
Awesome video man, I've personally spent a lot of time using and you're absolutely correct. Tweaking those settings and they made literally no improvements. The point also to be noted here is the titles for a lot of these videos are just pure clickbait suggesting performance boosts even upscaling technologies have failed to reach.
This video was so well done! Thank you for taking the time to benchmark this topic, I would love to see future videos on other popular tweaks. Great job!
personally don’t daily an nvidia anymore but i love how straightforward it felt for me.
good video, well edited and good mic. Looking forward to seeing you grow!
Same
Definitely
Adding MSAA to an old game is the only time you should touch them. I also remember messing up with amount of frames rendered to make 15fps games somewhat playable. I finished Assassin's creed 3 and Splinter cell Conviction using Nvidia 8500gt.
I was a PC techinician for over 7 years from now, and I have noticed that nothing actually helps than messing with the game settings itself. I fully agree with everything that was said in this video, and we really need an update for the NVIDIA control panel. Also, my favorite game is THE FINALS, and i'm happy to see that you play it. If you want a good teammate, hit me up, I will be happy to play with you!
Amazing video, without yapping and straight to the point. You're doin' good lad.
Good news! Nvidia just released the Nvidia app which is an updated version of the Nvidia control panel. Still on beta though
@@DuckButtGoesKwekKwek where can I find it?
@@ultrabugger4023on Nvidia official website
@@ultrabugger4023 google --> nvidia app (should be first link) --> download beta
the app name should just be Nvidia for now. I don't know if they will change it later
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.
Keep it up, I hope there will be more like this in the future, and your version of optimization guide too. 😁👌
please make a video on hardware accelerated gpu and game mode settings.
love the vid, thanks for this information!
What about some feature options like (low latency mode: ultra) those do affect fps in the negative but has a noticable impact on rendering latency
Well said. Please test Hardware accelerated GPU scheduling and Game mode next please. Great video
That works for me. Try to benchmark it
The first one you listed is required for DLSSFG so that's an obvious advantage
Yeah but some people report micro stutters in some games with this toggled on@@M_CFV
I saw another video where they recommended turning game mode off. I did that and ran my Final Fantasy XV benchmark, I got the highest score ever! Haven't tried HAGS yet.
EDIT: I tried the Final Fantasy XV benchmark with HAGS on and off and got better results with it on.
Yeah ive been testing these two settings on my 5800x3d, 4070ti rig the past weeks and my results are the same as yours , HAGS feels good on and i have game mode off. I also use Ultra low latency mode. @@rogerbowen5753
I subscribed! Im excited for that future testing!
my mind crossed the same idea, thx for tested it out
Thank you! I always felt the same with my pc, just wanted to believe it is helpful. Also I noticed that I am ruining my graphics for nothing.
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. There's also system fallback memory which in case you run out of vram, switches to ram and help with memory issues
Could you please explain the reflex and shader cache settings im interested in them
@@saviourr3039 hey I'm not exactly an expert, but from what I know reflex should be set to "ultra" (if you have a good gpu like 20/30/40 series) or just "on" if you have a lower end GPU. 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.
@@saviourr3039 The shader cache is only used the first time a shader is built when running a game. The next time the game wants the same shader it will pull it from the cache rather than building it again. This can help reduce stutter on games where shader building happens a lot to prevent the stutter on shader generation. "Shader cache only works on OpenGL DX9 DX11" DX12 and Vulkan have there own shader cache.
@@saviourr3039Reflex ingame and low latency mode from NVCP they are the same tech afterall. the reason why Reflex is better is because Reflex doesn't need to travel to the game pipeline it's already in the game while Low latency mode needs to go the game pipeline in order to reduce latency which is slow.
Are you able to do your own pc optimization guide? Would love to watch that.
Your pc is already "optimized" as long as it boots and works as intended.There are no hidden performance boosting features.
@@NotReallyLaraCroft not exactly Croft, some GPUs come with underclocked memory for no good reason, in that scenario, MSI afterburner can help to achieve optimal performance. Similarly, enabling XMP is a form of optimization. Using optimised settings in games, disabling Optimus etc. are also a part of " optimizing " the pc. Changing TDP, fan speed curve etc.
@@NotReallyLaraCroft oh and bonus, DLSS swapper. And those dlss to fsr mods and fs3 mods.
@@NotReallyLaraCroft Not really. Many newly manufactured computers have VBS with Bitlocker enabled by default, which can cause CPU performance to drop and disk read/write speeds to drop. There are also almost all CPUs that can achieve increased performance while lowering temperatures with undervolt.
@@NotReallyLaraCroft actually yes, but no. All tweaks should be made on per case basis. There is no universal solution for performance boost, but changing something individually for each piece of software/hardware may and usually will give you either better performance or improved stability
Thank you so much ! Indeed that makes a lot of sense especially why those videos all recommend different stuff. However, on a per game basis , a few settings have actually helped me increase performance. Looking forward for your myth busting video!!
Simple, thorough, direct. You just earned my follow sir
1:23 Thx for the benchmarks result. I'm gonna restore my Nvidia settings to default now and only use it to cap my fps at 60.
Good video
I really like the idea of extra fps, but now i know nothing is gonna do any good
insane video, keep going man!
The guide videos I "love" the most are those that would show you how to tweak general stuff but never would at least once show a clip of games being tested before and after they made the changes. I would sometimes point it out and the best thing is when the secondary/dummy accounts would try and pick a fight lol This happens mostly with micro small to relatively small/medium-sized PC-centric/gaming channels.
this is actually true. i only touch digital vibrance when i fresh install a driver.
I now only use the nvidia panel for resolution change, Also Would Love to see the Nvida Profile Inspector (Because its more detailed version of the control panel, also as you said here 2:35 that the control panel has really basic stuff).
Hey, would you please make a video about performance impact of using NVCleanInstall?
NVclean does not increase performance at least it good to strip app like GFE.
@@xenogreen3816 atleast I get peace of mind that I have stripped GFE and the telemetry before the installation and other bunch of non required stuff that comes be default.
Thank you for bringing this out to light. Could you make a video on tweaks that actually improve your performance?
Have less programs run in the background. And reduce the number of apps that start with Windows
Shader Cache ( I use unlimited since I have the space), Vertical Sync On (Gsync monitor dictates this be on for proper use, is that no longer the case?), and VR VRSS should be enabled. Beyond that, tweaking can be done in game.
ive been waiting for someone to finally point out the little to no difference made in FPS. i do notice the visual appearance changes and ive grown to prefer the i guess "optimized" look.
I got like 3fps more using the ultra performance setting in COD MW2.
It’s definitely for older cards and applications.
On the home screen you can actually choose to not use NCP settings. Theres like 3 choices. Use the games settings, Use nvidia 3D settings or choise a quality setting from a slider.
I think it only applies to the graphics settings as gsync was still enabled when I selected use game settings so it seemed.
This why I stopped changing settings in the control panel 4 years ago cause I literally saw zero performance boast or worse performance in some cases
Haven't seen such a good video for a long time, thanks for the clarification
Few of of the basic settings like graphics fidelity, refresh rate and the only options one needs to look at the control panel to make sure modern hardware is not under utilized. Laptops also have to ensure the power options and profile which can flip when running on battery mode.
Noticeable performance dips comes with graphics drivers. I always keep a basic stable DCH driver and only update when some new game is displaying some issue.
PC gaming has become a bit of chore these days lol.
One thing I have found to be useful is to gate maximum frame rate [Riva Tuner, but you can set it in nVidia control panel.] I have an old PC, so it helps keep ETS2 running at a smooth 60 FPS.
This advice was from one of the smaller, humble UK channels. [RandomGaminginHD]. Also, MSI do a good 20 minute guide on their own Afterburner which is worth seeing.
I've had more issues with frame pacing and stuttering on old games, in which case it can sometimes make a difference. But on a modern game, enable Vsync and look at other areas of your system that could be causing issues.
You got my subscribe man waiting for your myth buster videos
Do a test for stripped Nvidia drivers in nvcleaninstall VS default install drivers?
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.
It's not so much an increase in performance, but a noticable decrease in RAM and VRAM usage because of Nvidia bloat being removed
Hats off to you !! Subbed 👍🏻
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
Also nvidia control panel may help on old laptops with GPU and integrated graphics. You should click RMB on game shortcut or launcher and select "run with high performance nvidia processor". Very helpful in minecraft for example.
Jayztwocents did a video some time ago on this exact topic and made a lot of changes to an RTX 2060 to improve performance. It wasn't all in vain, as he mainly tweaked a few settings in the Nvidia Control Panel and MSI Afterburner, and it actually worked.
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.
I've tried various recommended settings after watching videos and have never noticed any difference which resulted in me going back to the default settings.
thank you for informing people about this. all those "optimization" guides on youtube really do piss me off.
Wow. Short, concise, no BS, *and* based on actual benchmarking? This video should set an example for others. Thanks for making this.
Need more ppl posting like yourself for real. Being click baited on videos is just getting super old.
I spent literally 2 days straight testing out so many different things & and you're absolutely right.
Great video, Thank you for being an awesome creator👍
This video is crazy good. Nicely done
I love optimalization guide from panjo he switch things for cuda big data processing :D, all what u can do with nvidia inspector is, moderate allocation policy it increase ur low fps, u can change LOD, minimal fps increase, and turn on optimalisations surface format or AF optimalisation and performance quality of maps, and shader cache to 10gb which prevent fps dropdowns.
I liked commented and shared because everyone needs to see this. I just had a paradigm shift moment where I realized all of the perceived performance gains from when I have followed many of these videos must have been placebo
i knows it not part of this video, but the performance gains you can get from thr negative LOD in nvidia control panel is actually insane. game starts looking like a indie game, but if you want more fps on an old build its actually insane.
This blew my mind as a retired advent watcher of those videos for my grandads crappy laptop
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.
I feel like vsync just kills some FPS (like 10-20%) for no real gain, especially because the difference between the fully loaded frame and the succeeding partial frame gets lower the more FPS there are
@@gonozal8_962 yes I am not using vsync currently and definitely loving it. Yes the input lag reduction and having a high refresh rate monitor seems to make vsync not necessarily and just a net positive to not use it. Unless tearing really bugs someone but again I don’t notice it much on a high refresh rate monitor I’m using.
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)
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.
Thank you bro, I was going to change my setting for nvidia until I saw this video
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.
Finally a video that explains how me spending 4 hours in nvidia control pannel dosent help my frame stutter, thank you for making this
Thanks for this. I've recently fallen down a rabbit hole.
Same i just reset all mine to default after watching this and it runs alot better 😂
this was very insightful thanks
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.
You should test those "VR Optimization" videos as well, if you can
There is one thing that nothing else can do to beat this panel. Changing the graphics card in older laptops that have CPU graphics supported by a dedicated graphics card. I recently had to manually add the .exe for the application to work properly.
Thank doe the information man 🙏
Since you mentioned that** Nvidia Control panel is an old software but it does have some newer features. May I ask if you should tamper with the Nvidia Low Latency Mode within Nvidia Control panel or just the in game settings?
I believe LLM in the control panel does something separate from Reflex
Reflex in games are better. If you have Low Latency mode enabled, Reflex in games will just override that. No big deal.
i do it for the placebo bro
i mean there may have been a difference if you tested it without underclocking your laptop
mostly with the "max performance" related stuff because i guess limiting your gpu and cpu to run at a lower freq and locking it wasnt the greatest choice
probably idk
Great informative video, thanks for sharing!….
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!
It just lowers the number of frames stored in the frame buffer so that they don't stack up, it doesn't make CPU work harder
@@kennybust Well that might be true, but it makes a slow CPU more obvious since the buffer is gone. So the CPU might not work harder, but it still leads to stuttering that can be avoided with more pre-rendered frames/low latency mode OFF.
@@benfrese3573 I'm not denying that, just saying it doesn't work harder (uses more power, utilization % or whatever)
@@kennybust Yeah, that's true. But it's generally a good idea to turn it off (the low latency mode) especially when aiming for 60fps in demanding AAA games. Elden Ring for example hates the LLM.
@@benfrese3573 it's good for GPU bottleneck scenarios but not nearly as good as locking FPS to lower frame rate (for better latency). I prefer using LLM Ultra so that my GPU can make the most FPS it can and have a decent chunk of input lag removed.
The only one I can think that may help is to use nvinspector to force Resizable BAR
I would love to see a video on optimal windows settings for best Ethernet connection. Similarly, guides on CZcams often recycle these videos, and you never know why a certain setting is picked
on my gt730 i test it on heaven benchmark
the only setting efficting the score was Texture filtering
Really nice video!
This helped me so much, just default and thats it, the only thing i changed is the maximum fps, that it stays in the range of g-snyc, even if thats really uncommon XD THX
When playing older games or ones your GPU is just way overpowered for DSR and (though more unpikely) FXAA can remove jaggies better than the native anti aliasing implementation. Other than that Power to prioritise performance (which should be standard unless you're on a laptop), shader cache size (Unlikely to make a differnce), Freesync /G-Sync shinanigans (monitor and connection depended) and the new generic FSR thingy, stay out of those settings entirely
The best ways to get boost is. Debloat the driver . Install window 10 yes 10 use atlos os it's best one then install game booster and advanced systemcare and use the ram cleaner. Install driver booster and you are off also on any system you should get rid of old drivers. You can also wear virtual ram
I’m wondering whether Microsoft Flight Simulator would fall into this category. I sure have spent a lot of time watching videos about NVCP settings I don’t understand. A lot of them are also settings in game so I can’t work out whether to implement them at driver level or in game…..or both. It’s pretty confusing!
I subbed 🤙 perfect video
There are 2 setings that make a diffrence and are low latency mode and threaded optimization,It need to put low latency mode to on and threaded optimization to off to disable nvidia cpu driver overhead that can make masive stutering because default driver setings can ruin cpu performance in some games if game use 100% of cpu cores and threads.
One guy on zwormz chanel was having problem with pubg because It was so stutery and unplayable to him,he has i5 9400f 16gb ram and 1660ti,i say to him to put low latency mode to on and threaded optimization to off in nvidia control panel,after he did that what i say to him he say finaly after 3 years of not playng pubg because of bad stutering and performance he has much beter fps after changing those setings and almost non stutering at all anymore,he say he couldnt belived that It worked because he watched so many tips to get beter performance but nothing help to him.
Thanks will try on my 5600x 3060ti 32gb ram. 😊
so true, it is more of a placebo. BTW I am also done OC the GPU and CPU, an additional 7 fps is imperceptible, unless you are looking at the FPS counter instead of playing, it is just a waste of time.
In my experience, the control panel is not there to boost performance, but it can be helpful to fix issues with specific games. Or lock the FPS so games don't melt down your rig by trying to get unlimited FPS (rare issue but it can happen).
I remember I ticked off a setting and my GPU fans always almost run 100% all the time now.
I always thought it was fluff. Or at best would force things like filtering higher than the game could natively output for textures (never tested rigourously) but I never felt like it actually improved anything. Maybe in 3dsmax back in the day it helped viewport FPS a little
Hi i saw ur description pc builds and they all look good but I've already ordered a rtx 3070 for £250. Is it possible for you to recommend me a good budget pc build to use alongside my 3070? My budget is around £600 and since I've already bought the 3070 I have like 350 left
The fact that this video doesn't have nearly as much views as the optimization videos bothers me
Yeah the only meaningful options to be changed are to turn G sync on, thats pretty much it.
I could write an essay on how this is the best 3 min video someone has created. I am someone who enjoys tinkering with settings and benchmarking to see the difference (I love fact checking), and it absolutely annoys the hell out of me how every time I just simply install a driver, turn on DLSS Quality, cap the frame rate to my monitor (or half cause I can use Frame Gen) and I have perfect performance, low temps, low latency, and zero issues. I do not open Control Panel, I don't tinker with Rebar, no registry edits, none of that other crap.
The only setting I probably will recommend for the Control Panel to turn off is the DSR. I’ve got friends that build a new PC with a 3080 or better and they get mad when they only get like 50 Frames because they’re rendering the game at 4K then downscaling it to 1440p and they forget about that setting.
The only two worth changing is 1, low latency, this may slightly hurt performance but you get better latency, and the shader size cache, to help with stuttering and crashing, again might hurt performance on a computer that doesn't have these issues.
Its all just a trade off to make games actually playable.
The only setting i always change is the power thing where you set it as “prefer maximum performance”
That does nothing. Normal or Adaptive Power gives you the same thing as Maximum Performance.
Awesome Video. Being short and investigating.

this was recommended to me while looking up one of these guides, guess the algorithm is working
I liked your honest thoughts, keep it up
