Nvidia Control Panel Best Settings for Gaming Performance | Best Settings for Nvidia Control Panel

This Updated Nvidia Control Panel Best Settings for Gaming Performance guide focuses on how to Optimize Nvidia Control Panel for the best image quality, performance and FPS that can be achieved whether you’re on a gaming laptop, high end or low end PC. Are your Nvidia control panel display settings missing, not showing or not opening? If you’re on a notebook/laptop, the Intel VGA or AMD VGA is probably responsible for the control panel display settings missing issue. I show you how to download and install the Nvidia control panel. The reason you’d want to use the Nvidia Control Panel rather than Geforce Experience to optimize your games is you can apply a different range of GPU options globally, rather than having to optimize each game in Nvidia Geforce Experience.

3D Settings for Nvidia Control Panel NVCP
This is the main section for configuring important graphics and performance-related settings on your Nvidia GPU. Here you can Adjust Image Settings With Preview; Manage 3D Settings; and Configure Surround, PhysX.
Adjust Image Settings with Preview
The options are: Let the 3D Application Decide - which reduces your ability to enhance and further control game graphics quality and performance via the NVCP. Use the Advanced 3D Image Settings - this setting allows you to greatly optimise games.
Manage 3D Settings
Any setting you change under Global Settings applies to all games and other 3D applications on your system, while those you change under Program Settings only apply to the specific game or program
Image sharpening
Turn off image sharpening and GPU scaling
Ambient Occlusion
Options are SSAO (Screen Space Ambient Occlusion), HBAO (Horizon Based Ambient Occlusion) or HDAO (High Definition Ambient Occlusion), don't force AO from the NVCP
Anisotropic Filtering
Most games will benefit from using forced 16x AF.
Antialiasing Setting
Attempting to force MSAA, or AA methods based on MSAA, such as Coverage Sampling Antialiasing (CSAA) or Multi-Frame Sampled Antialiasing (MFAA), will only work for some games.
Antialiasing Transparency
Causes performance and/or compatibility issues in most games.
CUDA GPUs
For gaming purposes, components such as PhysX physics simulations or AI processing can be GPU accelerated using CUDA to improve performance.
DSR Smoothness
This setting comes into effect when the DSR - Factors setting is enabled. GeDoSaTo (Generic DownSampling Tool) provides more options.
Maximum Pre-Rendered Frames / Low Latency Mode / Max Frame Rate
Controls the max number of frames the CPU prepares in advance. Can cause input lag.
Multi-Frame Sampled AA (MFAA)
Provides MSAA-like Antialiasing quality at a lower performance cost.
OpenGL rendering GPU
Determines how OpenGL games and applications handle rendering when connected to multiple displays and/or if using two or more different types of Nvidia GPUs.
Shader Cache Size
The options are: Disabled, 128 MB, 256 MB, 512 MB, 1 GB, 5 GB, 10 GB, 100 GB, Unlimited. I recommend either 1 GB or 5 GB.
Texture filtering Negative LOD bias
Set this to Clamp NOT Allow.
Vertical Sync / VSYNC
If you have a Gsync or Freesync monitor, turn on vsync
Other options in the NVCP include display settings which allow you to:
Change resolution, adjust desktop color settings, rotate display, rotate display, view HDCP status, set up Digital Audio, adjust desktop size and position and set up multiple displays. Other NVIDIA control panel video settings are: adjust colour settings and adjust video image settings.

[@GetRekkles]

Regarding 10:50 setting usually 2-3 fps below your refresh rate should be done if you have g-sync and use it. If you don't then i don't see reason for doing it because you can't really see screen taring on higher refresh rates ex(144 or 240hz) If you have 144 w/o g-sync i don't see reason to limit your fps at 141 or 142.

[@k.a.stensson]

Just use Ultra latency mode. then it syncs with the gsync and makes sure it doesn't go over. if you have a relatively new cpu and gpu

Hi Shogoz! I was wondering what "Adjust desktop size and position" had the lowest input delay. Which scaling mode do you recommend (fullscreen, no scaling etc.) and shoud it be on GPU or display?

[@Faneto2x]

“No scaling” if you don’t play with a different aspect ratio. Before I go play counter strike, I have to put it on “full screen” since I play with 4:3 ratio. The “fullscreen” option fills in the black bars around ur screen

[@charliebernydabney5362]

For next update I think you should give image sharpening another go. They have added "image scaling" option and that same sharpening filter under it. I have 1440p monitor and I've used 85% setting (2176x1224) for some gpu heavy games and it looks almost like 1440p. Just make sure you enable "cheap" anti-aliasing (TAA best, but FXAA works too).

Windowed Borderless adds lots of input lag so I personally won‘t put up w/ it, just a biased feedback tho! Great guide :)

[@shogoz]

Thanks dude! Have you noticed Windowed Borderless adds lots of input lag? I ask because in a Microsoft blog dated a year ago they wrote: "we enhanced the Desktop Window Manager (DWM) to recognize when a game is running in a borderless full screen window with no other applications on the screen. In this circumstance, the DWM gives control of the display and almost all the CPU/GPU power to the game. Which in turn allows equivalent performance to running a game in FSE. Fullscreen Optimizations is essentially FSE with the flexibility to go back to DWM composition in a simple manner. This gives us the best of both worlds with performance and other features that require the DWM, such as overlays." I remember in the early stages Windowed Borderless probably would have added a lot of input lag as it would have acted similarly to Windowed mode, but I don't think it would now. I'll have to test this when I get a gsync monitor (which will be soon) sorry for the wall of text. This stuff actually interests me too haha. Thank you dude!

[@runeslash444]

Where Windowed Borderless in the video?

[@adityaprakash9089]

Honestly, windowed borderless was the only thing that could solve my screen tearing issue in GTA 5 without turning on VSync and losing out on fps.. and there was no input delay too.

[@feeblemind]

people still out here living in windows XP days in terms of what causes performance issues lmao. Nah bro windows borderless in fact tends to be even more stable than fullscreen nowadays.

[@mry4354]

I'm getting more frames and better performance using fullscreen borderless in warzone, I used to have it set to full screen but I noticed a performance issue and since I changed it, it's better, this happened recently with a small update

[@deltacrna3849]

So seeking a clarification. Anti-aliasing. In Warzone. It always gives shimmering trees and such UNLESS using the highest setting of Filmic SMAA T2X. This of course kills frame rates. Is there any other option and does 16x Anisotropic filtering cause any issues with this antialiasing Warzone setting. I’m just trying to get to bottom of what you mean in the video. Even SMAA T2X causes shimmer unless you use the highest setting of “Filmic” SMAA T2X. Great video and have been following since the first predecessor to this video. Thanks for any reply.

Eu acho que é uma configuração bem mais importante do que parece nos tempos que correm mas pode ser só efeito placebo... É estranho e pela net as opiniões variam

[@Doobiewizard]

I recommend setting the anisotropic filtering to 16x in games that don’t have the option instead of globally. In some instances I was getting upwards of a 20 frame increase with it on “use 3D application” in newer games with anisotropic filtering on. With it on 16x global, even with anisotropic turned off in the game settings, it did not look any different and I had a 15-20 frame decrease. Not sure why this is. Other than that I find your videos very entertaining and informative!

Yo u back!!!

[@victorthomsen]

Thanks Bro, it boosted my performance so much! You are a real one!

[@Jeremanteca]

On Shader cache size, default is 4GB which is a pool for all games. This means that if a new game takes say 1GB and you've hit the 4GB limit, the oldest shader cache files will get deleted. If you re-run that old game, a new shader cache will need to be re-created leading to slower boot times and possibly lower performance until the shader cache creation is completed. So increasing the amount may help if you run a lot of games on your PC.

[@shogoz]

This advice is so useful dude - thank you for taking the time to write it!

[@Jeremanteca]

@@shogoz you too :D

[@El75390]

so which settings is the best for it?

​@@El75390 it's relative, depends on how many games you play frequently, and how many cache that games are using, so I recommend put more than the default (4gb), just to be sure

@@shogoz lmao dude this is like the 4th control panel tutorial i watched on your channel still never fails to make me laugh non stop

[@GrizzySC]

this is still the best base Nvidia control panel setup i have ever found...and the very first informational video about these settings that had me laughing! job well done!!

[@KXNG_08]

Configured all of this to the T, worked like a dream, updated drivers again, decided to try someone else's settings which lead me straight back here to the good stuff. :D

[@annahenrietta9517]

I was wondering why my games were playing pretty poorly for an rtx 2070 at 1080p. I reset every setting to default just by chance, everything is running as if new and where I was barely breaking over 60fps I'm now into the hundred. Don't sleep on the importance of doing a clean driver install every now and then... I'm gonna do it every 2-3 driver updates from now on.

[@shogoz]

This is really good advice. I was wondering why I was missing the Nvidia Image Sharpening setting when I'd seen it a few days ago. The latest driver update removed it for some reason but when I saw this comment, I decided to do a clean install and it's there again :P I've never seen settings being removed from a driver update wtf haha. Thank you Philippa!

@@shogoz Idk what to tell ya lol, with me it was even more serious, like my gpu would heat up for no reason displaying a 1080 game even though I used to cap it at 60 hz, now even at my current monitor's 75hz it's stable at 61c with a max of 71(blower style), and barely making any noise. Plus it's temp target is set to 81 by default so there's room for more settings crankage but I already have everything on ultra (forza horizon 5). Even World War 3 runs at 75 no issues now on high settings everything. Every time I'll feel a slowdown now I'm doing a settings reset or a driver reinstall for sure. 😁

[@shogoz]

That's crazy how something like that happened until you did a clean install. I'm going to start doing a clean install more often too :D Thanks again Philippa!

[@khoahuynh7853]

how do a clean drivers install? just uninstall the drivers and install it again? thanks

[@annahenrietta9517]

@@khoahuynh7853 You can use DDU. Or use the option in the driver installation menu.

Aye Welcome Back boi

[@RicardoMilosGachi]

Could you make a test for Display vs GPU scaling option? There are different opinions about it, but in theory Display seems to be the best for competitive playing. Also, maybe a guide about Nvidia Profile Inspector? People like Adamx already offered their own config for it and I think even for such guide as Nvidia Control Panel - you could just share your current config so people do not need to set it themselves from beginning.

[@-BUGZ-]

Display scaling is always going to have way lower input lag compared to gpu scaling. I had a monitor that only had gpu scaling and when i upgraded it felt like i gained the responsiveness of console compared to pc while gaming. And it looks better imo

[@RicardoMilosGachi]

@@-BUGZ- Yeah, I read and experienced it causing a frame of delay or so. Btw how do you check IF a monitor actually allows to have display or just gpu scale?

[@-BUGZ-]

@@RicardoMilosGachi not sure how to check before buying if that’s what you mean but in the control panel it’s in the desktop size and position tab. I think most newer monitors have display scaling anyway, especially IPS panels, my last panel with only gpu scaling was a TN panel and the last two IPS have display.

[@RicardoMilosGachi]

@@mattblair5437 I remember there was a conversation on bbusters forum about it and somebody claimed some new gpus like RTX'es are faster so I decided to stick to GPU scaling for a while

If i make Anisotropic filtering on 16x doesn't make it lower my fps? Is it not better to do it to off? Or lower? Pls Answer

[@D-Day-fb3pw]

If you want your textures to look like crap turn it off for a modest 1 or 2 fps boost. If you want your textures to look good then turn it on with very little performance impact. You don't have to keep it @16x. 8x filtering is a decent compromise if you really care about that extra frame.

[@bork5556]

Anisotropic filtering affects memory more than it does fps. If you have 4GB or more VRAM you should be fine in most games. If you use up your all your VRAM, the game will either crash or allocate some of your normal RAM to replace it, the latter of which will cause latency and could reduce fps.
