![]() ![]() I know it seems confusing, but the best method for setting up your games is to always use the bulit in Profile (if there is one) and leave the NVCP at defaults. Like wise if the FXAA setting is "off" in the Global settings Tab, if a game supports it natively, its Nvidia profile will allow you to enable it with the "in-game" setting, the"Program Tab" profile might disable a Global tab setting (depending on that settings options) but -only- for that games. If you have FXAA set to OFF in the Global Tab, you can certainly force it in the Programs settings Tab. Your not understanding how the Nvidia game profiles "Programs" tab works. I never said it overrides -all- the settings. I can't set it to enabled for a specific game because the global option overrides everything? So I either need to enable it for all games or disable it for all. ![]() And the global settings for this are on or off. Nvidia FXAA, this can be nice to have in some games, but I want to turn it off in other games. Let's just take an example to make my point a little easier to get I always thought the programs tab was to override the global settings should one have any problems in a game and set individual settings in that particular game that wouln't affect any other games (this is also basically how they describe it in the control panel itself from what I understand). I have seen people discuss that it can cause the cards to downclock if GPU load isn't close to 100%, and cause a short freeze when the game suddenly requires more power from the GPU.Īnd what exactly is the point of having one global settings tab and one specific programs tab, when only the settings in the global tab will happen? They might aswell just remove the programs tab all toghether and just have a global options. Sure, adaptive could be nice to keep temps down on idle, but from what I've read it doesn't work properly in some games. ![]() And that is most likely caused by the power management being set to adaptive. I get freezes in World of Warcraft for example. With that said, If I leave the Nvidia settings to defaults, I get bad results in some games. It's not that I go in there and just change settings to see what it does. I do it for troubleshooting. I appreciate your tips, but first of all, I know very well what each setting in Nvidia control panel are for. *But only if you know exactly what those changes would be If you would post the "games" that you are playing, you might or might not want to make changes to the above. I suggest using the following settings with your hardware levels (*note the below is for using (1) monitor) I highly recommend that you go thru the program tabs and hit the "RESET" button, then after you have erased the "Program Tab" settings changes you made, reset the Global tab to defaults. You have outstanding hardware levels, driver tweaking is really unneeded unless your playing very old games bro Once you start messing around with the settings -without knowing exactly what you are doing, and how that setting will efffect other progarms and games- you are asking for all kinds of problems and issues. Unless your playing a single game thats -really- important to you (that you would "need" to setup the NVCP settings special) then DEFAULT NVCP and Program settings is preferable, and all the in-game options will be available and worrk correctly using the "profiles" contained in the Nvidia driversets. With such a awesome hardware setup like yours, you really shouldnt be making any changes in the NVCP other than setting your Monitors up correctly. And it seems alot more easy to change the global setting to maximum performance, and then set Windows programs to adaptive rather than changing the setting for every game.Ģx EVGA GTX 580 Classified in SLI, Nvidia driver 304.79 betaĤx4GB Corsair Dominator GT 2133MHz quad channelĪny setting in the "Global Tab" will overide most settings in the "Program Tabs". Is this a bug? If not, it seems pointless to have a program tab where one can set specific program overrides when only the global settings will take effect anyway.įor those of you who are asking why I want to set it to maximum performance is because I have noticed periodic, short freezes in games if I leave it on adaptive. ![]() The only way I can get my card to downclock is by setting it to adaptive globally. An example, I set it to prefer maximum performance in the global tab, and then set it to adaptive for Internet Explorer and Windows Explorer, the card doesn't downclock at all on idle. If I set power management mode - prefer maximum performance in the global tab, my card will never downclock on idle even if I set it to adaptive for some programs in the program settings tab. So I was playing around with the settings in Nvidia control panel, and here's what I noticed ![]()
