Sorry my question is: In nvidia control panel i set maximum performance on power management mode on games, should i do the same with wcm and explorer? Or should i set them to the same setting i use globally, which is optimal power?
Most of them do little to nothing. For example, disabling force p2 cuda states only applies to cuda compute workloads, and do not effect gaming in the slightest. All you need to do is fresh install Nvidia drivers, set prefer maximum performance and bloat windows if you really want to get more (an extremely marginal amount) performance. The best way to improve FPS is by turning down settings or overclocking. If you have a laptop or a PC more than 6 months old you might also want to clean out the dust. laptops get too hot already, and when a CPU or gpu gets too hot, it slows itself down to avoid burning up. Therefore, making sure your rig doesnt get too hot will actually make an effect
@@axelanderson2030 Yup i know all that but thanks for the tip anyway:) I was more looking for a quick technical explanation when changing some of the advanced setting. My rig is overclocked on a OC card with no bloatware, backgroundservices, and a set of regedits and performance adjustments i usually do when configuring my pc. But some changes you make can cause instability if you blindly follow a performanceguide and you've already made your own adjustments. What overrides what, what depends on what and so on..
People want short / tell me what to do videos, not lengthy videos... There was one guy that did full Windows guides for gaming etc. and explained every single little detail but his videos were 2-4 hours long and most of the comments were people complaining about the length, but then others praising it as well.
NOTE: If you set the "Power management mode" setting in the Nvidia panel to "prefer maximum performance", the clockrate of your GPU will never go down, even on idle, and your GPU will consume significantly more power at all times, even when you are just on the desktop doing nothing. For example, my RTX card consumes over 90W at minimum at all times if the setting is "prefer maximum performance". If I set it to "normal" then it consumes less than 20W when nothing particularly heavy is being displayed. As a side consequence the PC was running hotter than usual as well, which made fans spin faster, increasing noise. If you change these settings you should monitor your GPU power consumption (especially when you are not running any graphical programs), and make a decision on whether the significantly increased power consumption is something you want to afford.
I found this isnt the case with the 2070 super, but is the case with the RTX 4080. The 2070 super would clock down even on max power settings. With the 4080 I need "Normal" power settings in NVCP and Balanced power settings in windows (as opposed to High performance)
In some games optimal or adaptive will bork the game fps, because the game when unpaused will act like it's idling, and the gpu will go into idle mode, but is fixed with prefer maximum performance mode. Try it with Warriors Orochi 4.
Excellent optimization but there is one thing that is avoidable ... the "global setting" power mode leave it in "normal" otherwise you will have the GPU with fixed clocks at maximum and an exaggerated consumption on the desktop ... take the programs one by one (the ones you use) in my case Cod Warzone and Apex and give it "Maximum Performance"
Do you have a source for this info? Would like some 2nd opinions before trying :) Also i dont have "Normal" as an option, only Adaptive, Maximum Performance , Consistent and Optimal Power.
I have set the global power mode back to normal, but my clock speed still runs high all the time, i thnk its the msi utility v3 there are making it do that, but now it wont give me permisson to enter the MSI utilityv3 or v2.. I dont know what to do??
This video is 8 months old, pre 22h2 update. The section where you add the explorer application and dwm application can no longer be changed as it always reverts back to nvidia recommended settings, even if you set the global settings to performance mode. Windows has locked out the ability to change this setting apparently.
Feel like the benchmarks could've been better. Since we're looking for more FPS testing them on popular multiplayer games such as Warzone, Valorant, and playing a actual match on Apex would be a good start to understanding how these optimizations would help in real use cases. Would also be nice to see the performance difference of the GTX 1060 since that's usually the main card most users have according to steam and have that alongside with the 3080Ti you have so we get a sense of how much of a difference each generation gets. Overall good video
I use a gtx 970m and based on my optimizations, including this guides modifications to my nvidia settings, I am getting a solid 200-300 fps. My input latency has lowered significantly . My frames have boosted very significantly. Using high low high very high on CSgo, 8x antialiasing at 1920x1080 res. Overall I am quite pleased after perm disabling gsync and vsync on my pc. Previously I was at a steady 120fps and not nearly as reactive interms of input as I am currently, after using this guide. My pc overall is an alienware 15 r2 (2015-2016) and it feels like it’s running like a full sized desktop.also, this isn’t my first go at optimizing my pc. I’ve tried almost everything for 6 months on a consistent basis on the notion of researching and looking for a way to be operating at maximum performance. This is also the day, where I am locking in my settings for good. If you have a much more powerful system than I have, you will be exceptionally pleased with this gsync vsync global disablement. Hope this helps understand the impact of the guide here boys!(and girls)
Hi, i currently run a rtx 1060 6gb, upgrading to a 3080 in the next week, if you remind me ill link you the difference.... currently i get a stable capped 105 fps in apex, un capped it goes up and down 40fps on top of that
Hidden Nvidia Settings & Optimizations for IMPROVING FPS upto 25% & Lowering INPUT LAG! Let me know what games you will be trying these out on and what your results are - and if you have any other tips/settings to try!
Hey panj there is no Prefer maximum performance 4:05 , there's only NVIDIA recommended and Use Global setting which is prefer maximum performance but when I click it and hit apply it reverts back to NVIDIA recommended please help.
If you don't have "monitor technology" in 3D settings, you may need to enable it in your monitor settings. For my Samsung G49, I had to enable "adaptive sync" in the Game tab before "monitor technology" appeared in the control panel.
This is such a true statement! It pains me to think of all the people running FreeSync/Gsync monitors but don't even know enough about the technology to make sure that it is actually enabled. I don't think it was on by default on my monitor either, I have the Monoprice DM 27" 1440p 180hz (165hz w/ Adaptive Sync) IGZO-IPS. If I hadn't enabled it in my monitor settings and then in the Nvidia control panel, it would not be working. It is also a 10-bit monitor and the Nvidia control panel (resolution settings) default to 8-bit, I had to change it manually. Another miss by many, a lot of people out there running 10-bit panels at 8-bit. Not as big as deal as not enabling Gsync/Freesync but still...
About 4 years ago i used to watch your videos to get the extra juice out of my gtx 660 by tweaking it, it was a founders edition. i also overlocked it by watching your video. It lasted me 2 whole years and i bought it used. Such good days, from fallout 4 to AC odyssey, i played every dream game on it. Those days are gone now
Im a long time gamer. Gaming since 1985. I must say these settings are great and Although I have tweaked Nvidia Inspector I didn’t know about the other settings. Well done sir 👏
Even with a GTX1050ti and a 60hz 1080p monitor I notice something is different after going through these settings. Games are definitely more snappy, I guess the input lag is lower. I didn't have any GSYNC option to select on my Nvidia control panel and that discouraged me from the start, but I found it on the Nvidia Profile Inspector and did what's recommended. I can't disable Vsync either or else I start seeing jarred lines with my 60hz monitor and that's awful, I was also discouraged because of that but I went for Vsync enabled at Fast setting instead. Thanks for this video, it helped and now you're on my GOAT list after I went through your other video too!
@@privatbruker5905 I said that to actually see the difference it makes for low budget gpus, and according to steam; the 1060 is till the most popular GPU to date. So yea the majority of gamers still use that card. :)
Running Global NVCP power at 'Prefer maximum performance' is awful advice - it will cause the GPU to constantly run at full boost clock speed even when not gaming. No need for max boost browsing websites or explorer windows. More heat, GPU fans constantly running for absolutely no reason - leave at 'normal' and change to 'prefer max performance' per game/app profile.
Don't know if anyone already mentioned this, but the RBAR settings have been renamed to "rBar - Feature", "rBar - Options" and "rBar - Size Limit" under the "COMMON" section.
Dude you gave me 10 to 16% fps improvement for free. This isn't just your average clickbait "make your pc faster" channel, but many of your videos did wonders for me. Really appreciate it! Cheers
After making these changes i was getting some screen tearing with gsync enabled on elden ring, I've changed back the vsync in nvidia inspector to on and it's nice and smooth again. Cheers
I also noticed some screen tearing, with vsync off, i have set mine to fast because, if i just set it to ON, i get 138fps, 6fps lower then my 144hz monitor, i also changed Vsync tear control to Adaptive, inside the profile inspector, it seems like i get a little higher fps that way..
There is a new Option for rBAR in the common section in the NVIDIA Profile Inspector, you'll have to enable rBAR - Feature, rBAR - Options and rBAR - Size Limit to the one with the most games.
thanks for the heads up on that! When i go to the "unknown" section, F00BA, F00BB, and F00FF do not show. Any idea why that might be and/or know how I might be able to get those options to show so I can change them?
@@jenusi001 well I'm in profile inspector right now and in the "common section the F00B settings aren't there and in the "unknown" section they aren't there either. I found the rebar settings though
You should warn people about OC'ed cards. Actually CUDA P2 States Off will slightly push clocks higher, for me it was 200Mhz on memory clock and that made my card (2060 super) unstable
Absolute legend, this video not only got saved underneath my guides tab. It got me to subscribe. My 3060, was chugging on cyber punk at 40 frames, 1080p. And now it's at a locked 60. Running on high graphics with RTX off thank you. My thousand mods in Skyrim is even better. Allowing me to increase my LOD without losing performance
Wow I get better than that with a 1660 ti. But on FS22 I have to run low settings and can only stay at around 30 fps without jumping all over the place.
Most of that performance gain is probably just turning on rebar. Hard to say if any of those tweaks really did anything. Would like to see another test where rebar is out of the equation, either being on at all times or off completely.
Indeed. Most of the things suggested (especially Explorer, WDM etc... at the beginning) are useless placebo users shouldn't mess with. The only thing that really makes sense in this video is forcing Rebar (for some games only) boost. In general, hidden NVPI settings instead can effectively be used to remove stuttering and improve smoothness with some unoptimized games with hitches and the like (especially Unity or UE4 buggy games...), not to increase fps, but this is another story and must be set per game. I've fixed many known to be (micro)stuttering for everybody and now running smoothly with some custom tweaks from NVPI.
The power settings definitely give unnecessary high clocks on the GPU when idling together with more noise from the cooling (and screentearing if you previously used G-sync/Freesync) 🤡
By the end of the video, if you were paying attention you would have noticed that he has a 5900X and 1060 3GB. He is so GPU limited he could set the MSI priority to infinity and probably get a 0.1% gain. The problem is you do that on a normal person rig that is a few years old and not GPU limited, it's gonna do the opposite and do a lot more than 0.1% damage to your performance. Also most of the settings are available in the regular NVCP, so downloading all this unknown trid party crap is a waste of time. Turning off G-sync isn;t that much of an issue if you have a computer that can easily pump out enough frames to satisfy a static refresh rate screen.
@@M3PH11 G-Sync or any VRR option provides a more constant experience in ANY SITUATION otherwise the constant change in responsiveness is a problem on it's own followed by screen tearing due to monitor and gpu starting to mix and mismatch frame, waiting for the frame to fully render prevents another from rendering halfway through the first to prevent tearing. The gains came from ReBar and disabling anisotropic filtering(which makes everything look like a low res texture).
@@elyzium not really, without optimizing my pc i get around 80-100 fps and i can feel that my game isnt running smoothly, after applying all those settings i get 144 consistently, and since im using a 144hz monitor theres a huge difference
Instead of ''Just trust me bro'' approach, you could explain what these options do because I can assure you some of these actions WILL wear out the components affected unnecesarly while pc is idle.
Back in the day I used to open a command terminal at boot instead of the win user logon screen (by switching a few files and suspending some processes). Than I would start games and tools from the terminal. It gived me a good 25% framerate boost, compared from starting games after logging in. There are legal and security problems doing anyways, so I wont advise it or give any specific info. Just so you know it is doable and effective.
in windows 7 you could replace the accessibilty options tool on the logon screen (the executable for it) with a copy of cmd.exe and then just click the accessibilty options icon and voila, instant commnd prompt.
@@M3PH11 yeah but afaik you cannot do it within the running windows system: To do it you must boot from another windows installation, or a live cd, or a Linux distro etc.(to be allowed to swap files)
this is a damn fast explanation, very hard to follow for a non english talking guy like me (did learn a bit english on internet...)...But after testing from the settings on Fallout 76, the performance improvement is realy impressive, my system is 10 years old: Windows 10, i7 860 overclocked to 3,5Ghz, 8Go RAM,graphic card Nvidia GTX980 6Go, 1Go Velociraptor: tank you for your expertise!
There was a lot of information to fit into a small time frame. I do agree that it was hard to follow. It wasn't possible for me to play it in the background and follow along as he talks about the optimizations. Instead, I was constantly pausing--taking it step by step. Nonetheless, I think it offered great information and was worth going through the hassle
No other tips sorry. As feedback though followed a number of your previous videos and got great results with an i7 8700k and a RTX 3070 so I wasn't expecting anything much for CSGO. I was wrong though feels way more responsive, less input lag I guess as well as 20 - 30 more FPS. Thank you. 1440p 144Hz.
i am suprised how smooth some games running now, i didnt have fps problem in 1080p (gtx 1660 TI, i5 10600k) but after this guide(only power is set to optimal usage), all tested games work much smoother, even in nfs heat car is more responsive at higher speeds, wonderfull guide, and be blessed bro, thank you.
Here’s what to do change the setting then just exit out the control panel…. It’s gonna say do u wish to apply the changes u made click yes! After that restart ur pc then open the control panel up and it should be changed
This helped me alot I have 2gb graphics card on warzone I was having 30-40 fps now since I've done these settings I'm having between 46-60fps now thanks alot bro
Most people who complain about choppy performance/sound artifacts in youtube 4k generally are 1. have their windows power settings NOT set to performance 2. are on laptops, where their windows power settings default to battery saving.
I go to my power settings and click high performance restart the computer and it goes back to balanced . Any ideas on why ? Does it have something to do with administrator settings ?
Panjo you are GOAT, i just gain 20% on my RTX2060 in FPS, and i dont know is it because of these new settings, but my latency drop about 10-15%. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Amazing vid, really hlped inprove my FPS and gaming experience. One thing i would like to reverse but unsure how or if its related, When in game playing i usually watch twitch / you tube on second monitor, that now stutters and freezes very often
You have no idea how much this helped. I used to get 300 fps in my favorite game and now im getting anywhere from 600 - 1500 this is actually crazy. thank you man, you made my whole week.
Nobody needs those framerates, not even 300 fps, it will burn out your videocard so much faster than just running it slightly above your monitors refresh rate.
nice video, only thing i add extra is rivatuner for frame rate timing, particulary on apex legends. found my average stable frame rate in game, then capped riva tuner at that rate - what does is give you stable frame rate timing. ie. its better to have 100 frames consistently than have an uncapped frame rate that constantly jumps from say 100 to 130. For aiming purposes
When comes to input lag the key thing is constant frametime you get this from fps cap. Disagree with disabling gsync somewhat. If your running 120Hz and can do fps cap of 116fps and its constant its going to be smoother/lower latency than averaging 120-200fps especially if 99% fps falls below Hz. Also if you can get 116fps constant to be lower than 90% gpu usage, its lower latency than 99% constant. If you can maintain above refresh rate fps at all times then I would disable gsync with some key things met like 99%fps is also above refresh rate, cap fps for constant frametime and try to achieve 90% usage or lower unless fps is 300+ (latency is low enough past 300) at all times or If game supports nvidia reflex then fps cap doesn't matter that much if at all. But absolute smoothest and lowest input lag will be constant frametime as the delay will always be the same.
My friend can you help me for PUBG. The fps in this game is very choppy and inconsistent. You get 250-300. You can get 80-100 at the time of battle. In-game FPS capping doesn't work very well. what do you recommend. ( My PC speecs RTX 2070 Armor OC, i5 9600k 4.9 OC, Ram 16 GB 3333 MHz OC.) @resColts
@@melih.ozturk I would definitely use g sync then. I play cod and the fluxes are the same in that game to. I got a 360hz Alienware with the g sync processor in it and playing on that with g sync felt way better than my 240hz on fixed refresh.
@@melih.ozturk I had the top TN panel before going to 360 IPS. The input lag and the response time both smash the top of the line TN now. Even with the g sync it’s still faster than the TN but way smoother. The only thing is you can’t adjust the colors as much but the IPS colors are already superior.
No such thing as "monitor technology" in my settings...and strange thing is, it disappears from your UI in this video ... 2:19 right between Max Frame rate and Multi-Frame Sampled AA (MFAA) ...next screen 2:32 no more Monitor Technology in between....explain that?
Question... Are these changes applicable to VR Headset users, or just Display monitors. Just want to confirm before I try any of these changes. I'm tuning for VR performance at the moment.
anisotropic filtering off? euuughhhhh why with this misinformation? Anisotropic filtering 16x is like a 1fps impact for drastically better visuals. I usually enjoy your videos and I disseminate them frequently, but I'd address this error.
Just applied the recommendations from the video and my CPU temps went from 28 degrees Celsius IDLE to 55! I did not make any other changes except for wagt was mentioned in the video.
This really shouldnt be the case as nothing we cover in this video should adjust this, however you could change your power management mode back to what it was
@Panjno I don't know why it's doing that, I've had no other issues with any of your videos but this one I followed to a T and resulted in crazy high Idle temps. I reset the NVIDIA panel back to stock settings and the issue went away.
It's probably something to do with the prefer maximum performance settings. Do everything he says but instead of max performance, let your PC optimally decide power Also check if your intel card (if you have a inbuilt processor gpu) is not set on high performance only mode in the intel graphics panel
Setting your GPU to prefer maximum performance has no benefit. Your just maxing your clock speed of your GPU no matter what state it is in. This will only lessen the lifespan of your GPU and cost you more money on your electricity bill. If your playing games or doing taxing GPU intensive work loads it will automatically boost to the highest clock speed available.
Here’s what to do change the setting then just exit out the control panel…. It’s gonna say do u wish to apply the changes u made click yes! After that restart ur pc then open the control panel up and it should be changed
Hi Panjo. thank you for posting another fps boost tutorial. I've been following your FPS boost tutorials and it really helps. I just want to ask which is better for me, G-sync off or on. I have i5 7th gen and my gpu is gtx 1060 6gb. I currently having 60-80 fps while playing warzone with NIS on. thanks again!
the whole point of gsync is when your average fps is lower than your refresh rate, it bridges the gap so to speak, i literally have the same card and same monitor hz, and freesync works for me better on than off
@@Panjno Hey Buddy.... great Vid... I've used your tips before. I am attempting to " Tune" my new build....11900K z590 hero MoBo and an EVGA FTW Ultra 3090.....when using the Nvidia inspector ( having followed the " Non Global" method) and tuning in Microsoft Flight simulator and saving the settings.... do I need to keep the inspector open when flying or do I need to just save the settings and close it and forget it ??? IE{ set it once and it will always work closed ??
Just went through a whole hour figuring out how to convert from mbr to gpt, so i can enable rebar. managed it in the end without having to reinstall OS :)
NOTE: Turning off G-Sync while running FPS higher than what your monitor can handle results in screen tearing and stuttering even if it does slightly reduce input latency. So you're picking your poison here.
Overall a great video, but I don't see the point of showing us benchmarks when using a completely different GPU compared to the one you were making all the changes for (the 1060)....unless the changes you made had no significant bearing on the changed settings for the 1060 ? 🤔 For that reason I cannot recommend these changes to anyone.
anisotropic filtering has almost 0 impact on recent GPU's, as long as you're using a 10 series GTX card or better. You might gain 1-2 FPS on average but it makes your game look significantly worse. Not at all worth it IMO! Great video though!
This does nothing, only enabled resizable bar and texture filtering on high performance can give you a little boost, i cant enable rebar cause my system is old and texture filtering was already on high performance the rest is just placebo and useless, it may even degrade your performance in some cases
Hey @Panjno hope you're having a solid week, appreciate this new video... However I was wondering if it would be possible to do a triple monitor Nvidia Surround settings video to get 120hz+ on all 3 144+ monitors??
At higher resolutions the driver limits the frame rate due to things like memory restrictions and core clock and the monitor default refresh rate. If you look up the maximum possible resolution for your card it will also tell you the maximum Hz it can refresh that at. Now, If the resolution can be refreshed higher than the default you screen can do it (so say your 144hz screen defaults to 60hz but the gpu can refresh the resolution at 75hz) you will only get 60 as an option. Now you can kind of bypass this by disabling v-sync and then making sure you montior is set to the refresh rate you want but again you will be limited by what the machine can physically do.
@M3PH I appreciate you, I knew this from my decades of PC work, but it was because I ay the time was a 32in MSI 165hz and 2 24s @144hz.... I figured it would drop the 32 to 144hz and give me 144hz across all 3 but it didn't because the monitor models were different, like a week after doing this comment I bought another 24in and now surround does the 144hz on all monitors. However, for streaming purposes since my TV is the only screen I have that does true 240hz, I decided to drop down to 120 as it's divisible by 60 which helps the encoder process the video way cleaner on stream... But I appreciate your comment, I'm sure it'll help someone out 💯✊🏽
Thank you for such a detailed and helpful video. I have a question regarding something that has been bothering me for a while. Do you know why does Dota 2 CPU and GPU usage stay bellow 60%? I've tested it on several PCs and it's all the same, regardless of me optimizing those PCs or not. For example I have Ryzen 5 3600 and GTX1070 Strix OC, 16GB 3200MHz CL16 and my CPU never goes above 40% usage and GPU never goes above 60-65%. To make it worse, CPU usually hovers around 30-35% and GPU around 45-55%. I've been getting the same FPS with Ryzen 7 1700 and GTX1050Ti and with this PC. What's up with that? Also, both of my CPU and GPU are regularly cleaned, the entire system actually is being cleaned twice a week. I have 5 Arctic P12 fans in a good airflow case. I'm using Western Digital SN750 Black 3500mbps nvme, however my monitor is an AOC 60hz ips. FPS ranges from 100 to 190 but usually is around 120-140. I've tried discovering what might cause this and didn't have any luck. I really hope you'll see this comment and hopefully discover what the issue is. I'm planning on getting a 144hz monitor so fixing this would mean a lot. Thank you in advance and once again thank you for your videos as always. :) Cheers
The game just probably isn't very optimized. Developers do this alot with games that aren't that demanding to run. If people are already getting really good fps they don't see the need to make the game run at 300fps for most people instead of 200.
This is great, my FPS now are stable and fluid 70-95fps in my 10 years old PC in World of tanks (low settings) (GTX 750ti 2gb GDDR5 - AMD Phenom 2 X6 1055T) before this guide my game was 95-140fps but sometimes freezes or loses WHUGE fps from nowhere and sometimes looked weird and took some time to recover the fps, now its looks better and and more fluis animation and explotions, thanks. Sorry for my average english.
Can you do a system optimization guide for elden ring? The game stutters a lot, crash during online play and frame drops when using night maiden’s mist on a small group of enemies.
There's nothing you can do, DX12 & Vulkan titles ignore most of the driver settings (which is usually beneficial if correctly used by developers, if done improperly stuttering & such is the outcome).
This is working perfectly. Im lowend pc user playing apex with 8 gb rqm and i3 3rd gen processr. This is increase +25 fps. This is only one video which i got some results.
Hello panjno. Do these optimizations work on a gaming laptop? In the past I have noticed a few changes that I couldn't make due to not having the options that pc users have? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Whenever I change the "Power Management mode" setting for either exploler, or the DWM, it reversts to its original setting everytim I hit "apply"... any ideas? It must be said that my only other option besides "Nvidia recommended" in the drop down against this setting is "use global (prefer maximum performance)"...
Hey Panjno, how come you have settings such as monitor technology and power management mode and other settings that dont appear on my pc. I have a 3070 and am on the latest drivers. I see other people having them just not me. Do you know why?
@Flowy @Messinator it's just I've seen people with extra options on windows 10 then what I have. It's weird cause like following optimisations from like fr33thy he has options that aren't shown to me as well and he's on Windows 10 u til recently
Why should i set the interrupt priority to "high" in msi mode? U command us what to set the settings at, but without any further explanation... It definitely wouldnt hurt explaining what and why
Should these settings be stacked on top of the other settings from previous videos? Like image scaling. I just purchased an 3070 ti and I want to have all the settings adjusted accordingly. I have my settings set up now for a 1650. Upgraded to a 3070 ti
In Power management mode i only have two options to choose: "recommended from NVIDIA" and "Use global settings" How do i get the other two options "optimal power" and "prefer maximum performance"?
I love panjino’s videos and help. I’ve used loads of his optimisations but this one made my graphics turn quite awful and for not any fps gain. It was when I changed the nvidia control panel stuff. It made 1440p look like 720p lol. Maybe it was something I did wrong but it didn’t look good at all. As I say I love his videos and he’s helped me a lot. Just this time it didn’t
Thank you! I have now fully optimized my system according to all your tutorials. And my pc now runs really smooth and games are a breeze! It feels like i got a free 50% boost without changing any hardware. And these days i can really appreciate it :) Before i was getting like 30 fps with lows of 10 to 15 fps in pretty much any game and now they all run with high settings over 70 fps with lows over 60 fps. Love you man, from the bottom of my
Don't do that Guys, don't select any other Option than the first one - Most Games use their own Setup you can configure Ingame. If you change any Settings in the Nvidia Control Panel you can have a conflict with the Ingame Settings. For example: If you haver selected Anti Aliasning to 16x in the Control Panel and you switch AA to DSSL Ingame, the Nvidia Panel might decide to give your DLSS with useless 16xAA or switch of DLSS and only give you 16x AA. Best chose "Let the 3D Application decide"!
G-Sync should be used along side with V-Sync AND FPS limiter. Preferably, the ones in the game settings if available. The input lag difference is like 10-15 ms - absolutely negligible, but you get a much smoother feeling as there is no frame-tearing.
@@ml_serenity difference in 1ms ping compared to 15ms ping. Difference in about the edge of where you actually feel the lag, which is around 130ms ping compared to 155ms ping. As for input latency it's somewhere about 15ms SIM compared to 35ms SIM. You just feel like you're lagging there as well. Most people won't have a clue and might be too old or too casual to notice. You might be thinking well, how can you even tell, it's because ping is self-explanatory meanwhile input latency, it's those clips that you take if you're an esports game enthusiast where "my CROSSHAIR IS ON THEM" and you record it, slow it down, and IT IS on them, barely. Well on your display you hit the shot but because it had a 15ms delay somewhere. It never reached the server. As if you hit the outline of the enemy. Now whatever your tastes, if you don't play competitively, it won't matter, it's not noticeable in casual games, sure give me 100ms ping and 50ms input lag and I'll still play the game just fine. Any other game where it actually matters, it's noticeable. Take Valorant and let's give a ping example, 2 identical guys, 500 IQ each, one has 2ms ping other has 17ms ping, the guy closer to the server peaking the other guy will win the duel above 50% of the time. Marginally. This is also the reason why in esports the tournaments are hosted on LAN with identical setups.
Outstanding, never seen any video with these kinds of optimizations, you also were very quick, and very straightforward with instructions and details, thank you.
I can't change any settings in the Nvidia Control Panel for the windows explorer.exe or the DWM.exe. All of the options are grey. I opened Nvidia Control Panel from "open as administrator" too. Any idea what the problem is?
i have the same issue . i have a dual card setup in my laptop . I added explorer.exe to windows setting to use the better gpu . Even after that settings are still greyed out in nvidia.
Still rocking a 1080Ti, so always trying to squeeze all I can out of it - still clocks to 2100Mhz on the Core too 🤘(Only use MSI Afterburner for my GPU OC's). But I forgot about the NV Tool (Other than the basic Control Panel), thanks for these tips.
My STRIX 1080 is btching at unstable 2012Mhz. 750 power supply gold i believe. I wonder. Whetever it is the power supply for the volts flunctuating while in that overclock.
Same here, im actually impressed on how good of a card it still is, usually when a card is this many years old the performance just goes downhill, but this card still shines. makes it so much more worth the money.
Thirsty card though. A 4060 would be better performance and cheaper to run now. But still, if you're not concerned about heat and power, than it will do the job. Either way its still a good midrange option even today

Maybe some good tips but, could you please ellaborate what some of the settings actually do when changing them, and why you are changing them?
Sorry my question is: In nvidia control panel i set maximum performance on power management mode on games, should i do the same with wcm and explorer? Or should i set them to the same setting i use globally, which is optimal power?
Most of them do little to nothing. For example, disabling force p2 cuda states only applies to cuda compute workloads, and do not effect gaming in the slightest. All you need to do is fresh install Nvidia drivers, set prefer maximum performance and bloat windows if you really want to get more (an extremely marginal amount) performance. The best way to improve FPS is by turning down settings or overclocking. If you have a laptop or a PC more than 6 months old you might also want to clean out the dust. laptops get too hot already, and when a CPU or gpu gets too hot, it slows itself down to avoid burning up. Therefore, making sure your rig doesnt get too hot will actually make an effect
@@axelanderson2030 Yup i know all that but thanks for the tip anyway:) I was more looking for a quick technical explanation when changing some of the advanced setting. My rig is overclocked on a OC card with no bloatware, backgroundservices, and a set of regedits and performance adjustments i usually do when configuring my pc. But some changes you make can cause instability if you blindly follow a performanceguide and you've already made your own adjustments. What overrides what, what depends on what and so on..
@@EricTheBroBean Most of these do nothing
People want short / tell me what to do videos, not lengthy videos... There was one guy that did full Windows guides for gaming etc. and explained every single little detail but his videos were 2-4 hours long and most of the comments were people complaining about the length, but then others praising it as well.
NOTE: If you set the "Power management mode" setting in the Nvidia panel to "prefer maximum performance", the clockrate of your GPU will never go down, even on idle, and your GPU will consume significantly more power at all times, even when you are just on the desktop doing nothing.
For example, my RTX card consumes over 90W at minimum at all times if the setting is "prefer maximum performance". If I set it to "normal" then it consumes less than 20W when nothing particularly heavy is being displayed.
As a side consequence the PC was running hotter than usual as well, which made fans spin faster, increasing noise.
If you change these settings you should monitor your GPU power consumption (especially when you are not running any graphical programs), and make a decision on whether the significantly increased power consumption is something you want to afford.
True. Use "Max Performance" only for specific aplications like games.
@@jedenzet Do you have any evidence that the GPU is slower in games when using the "power management mode" setting?
@@chy.0190 There isn't what, exactly? And what makes no difference, and to what?
I found this isnt the case with the 2070 super, but is the case with the RTX 4080.
The 2070 super would clock down even on max power settings.
With the 4080 I need "Normal" power settings in NVCP and Balanced power settings in windows (as opposed to High performance)
In some games optimal or adaptive will bork the game fps, because the game when unpaused will act like it's idling, and the gpu will go into idle mode, but is fixed with prefer maximum performance mode. Try it with Warriors Orochi 4.
Excellent optimization but there is one thing that is avoidable ... the "global setting" power mode leave it in "normal" otherwise you will have the GPU with fixed clocks at maximum and an exaggerated consumption on the desktop ... take the programs one by one (the ones you use) in my case Cod Warzone and Apex and give it "Maximum Performance"

Also i dont have "Normal" as an option, only Adaptive, Maximum Performance , Consistent and Optimal Power.
I have set the global power mode back to normal, but my clock speed still runs high all the time, i thnk its the msi utility v3 there are making it do that, but now it wont give me permisson to enter the MSI utilityv3 or v2.. I dont know what to do??
This video is 8 months old, pre 22h2 update. The section where you add the explorer application and dwm application can no longer be changed as it always reverts back to nvidia recommended settings, even if you set the global settings to performance mode. Windows has locked out the ability to change this setting apparently.
Wrong, still works fine after after 22h2
Although 21h2 is still the best windows
Feel like the benchmarks could've been better. Since we're looking for more FPS testing them on popular multiplayer games such as Warzone, Valorant, and playing a actual match on Apex would be a good start to understanding how these optimizations would help in real use cases. Would also be nice to see the performance difference of the GTX 1060 since that's usually the main card most users have according to steam and have that alongside with the 3080Ti you have so we get a sense of how much of a difference each generation gets. Overall good video

No, since Benchmarks are made for test and provide way more reliable data. Just take the delta and you roughly have your answer.

I use a gtx 970m and based on my optimizations, including this guides modifications to my nvidia settings, I am getting a solid 200-300 fps. My input latency has lowered significantly . My frames have boosted very significantly. Using high low high very high on CSgo, 8x antialiasing at 1920x1080 res. Overall I am quite pleased after perm disabling gsync and vsync on my pc. Previously I was at a steady 120fps and not nearly as reactive interms of input as I am currently, after using this guide. My pc overall is an alienware 15 r2 (2015-2016) and it feels like it’s running like a full sized desktop.also, this isn’t my first go at optimizing my pc.

If you don't have "monitor technology" in 3D settings, you may need to enable it in your monitor settings. For my Samsung G49, I had to enable "adaptive sync" in the Game tab before "monitor technology" appeared in the control panel.
This is such a true statement! It pains me to think of all the people running FreeSync/Gsync monitors but don't even know enough about the technology to make sure that it is actually enabled. I don't think it was on by default on my monitor either, I have the Monoprice DM 27" 1440p 180hz (165hz w/ Adaptive Sync) IGZO-IPS. If I hadn't enabled it in my monitor settings and then in the Nvidia control panel, it would not be working. It is also a 10-bit monitor and the Nvidia control panel (resolution settings) default to 8-bit, I had to change it manually. Another miss by many, a lot of people out there running 10-bit panels at 8-bit. Not as big as deal as not enabling Gsync/Freesync but still...
Does enabling g sync cause higher input latency though? Specially controllers?
Where to find this option in monitor settings?

Im a long time gamer. Gaming since 1985. I must say these settings are great and Although I have tweaked Nvidia Inspector I didn’t know about the other settings. Well done sir 👏
can you share ur inspector profile sir?
Even with a GTX1050ti and a 60hz 1080p monitor I notice something is different after going through these settings. Games are definitely more snappy, I guess the input lag is lower. I didn't have any GSYNC option to select on my Nvidia control panel and that discouraged me from the start, but I found it on the Nvidia Profile Inspector and did what's recommended. I can't disable Vsync either or else I start seeing jarred lines with my 60hz monitor and that's awful, I was also discouraged because of that but I went for Vsync enabled at Fast setting instead. Thanks for this video, it helped and now you're on my GOAT list after I went through your other video too!
That's because if you don't have a G-SYNC monitor it will not show you that option. Thankfully you stuck to the end of the video.

Running Global NVCP power at 'Prefer maximum performance' is awful advice - it will cause the GPU to constantly run at full boost clock speed even when not gaming. No need for max boost browsing websites or explorer windows.
More heat, GPU fans constantly running for absolutely no reason - leave at 'normal' and change to 'prefer max performance' per game/app profile.
Idk what are you talking about, I have that setting enabled and my GPU keeps running at minimum power unless I open a game.
He said you can either keep it at optimal or max performance. In PC's it hardly matters because heat and power issues are nonexistent.
@Globespy my advice is learn how to read.
Don't know if anyone already mentioned this, but the RBAR settings have been renamed to "rBar - Feature", "rBar - Options" and "rBar - Size Limit" under the "COMMON" section.
thanks for this
Dude you gave me 10 to 16% fps improvement for free. This isn't just your average clickbait "make your pc faster" channel, but many of your videos did wonders for me. Really appreciate it! Cheers

After making these changes i was getting some screen tearing with gsync enabled on elden ring, I've changed back the vsync in nvidia inspector to on and it's nice and smooth again. Cheers
I also noticed some screen tearing, with vsync off, i have set mine to fast because, if i just set it to ON, i get 138fps, 6fps lower then my 144hz monitor, i also changed Vsync tear control to Adaptive, inside the profile inspector, it seems like i get a little higher fps that way..
If you’re using Gsync the key is to have vsync enabled and low latency mode set to ultra in the nvidia settings with vsync disabled in-game.
There is a new Option for rBAR in the common section in the NVIDIA Profile Inspector, you'll have to enable rBAR - Feature, rBAR - Options and rBAR - Size Limit to the one with the most games.
thanks for the heads up on that! When i go to the "unknown" section, F00BA, F00BB, and F00FF do not show. Any idea why that might be and/or know how I might be able to get those options to show so I can change them?

Absolute legend, this video not only got saved underneath my guides tab. It got me to subscribe. My 3060, was chugging on cyber punk at 40 frames, 1080p. And now it's at a locked 60. Running on high graphics with RTX off thank you. My thousand mods in Skyrim is even better. Allowing me to increase my LOD without losing performance
Wow I get better than that with a 1660 ti. But on FS22 I have to run low settings and can only stay at around 30 fps without jumping all over the place.
Most of that performance gain is probably just turning on rebar. Hard to say if any of those tweaks really did anything. Would like to see another test where rebar is out of the equation, either being on at all times or off completely.
Indeed. Most of the things suggested (especially Explorer, WDM etc... at the beginning) are useless placebo users shouldn't mess with. The only thing that really makes sense in this video is forcing Rebar (for some games only) boost.
In general, hidden NVPI settings instead can effectively be used to remove stuttering and improve smoothness with some unoptimized games with hitches and the like (especially Unity or UE4 buggy games...), not to increase fps, but this is another story and must be set per game. I've fixed many known to be (micro)stuttering for everybody and now running smoothly with some custom tweaks from NVPI.
@@lucal7756 what is NVPI settings?
The power settings definitely give unnecessary high clocks on the GPU when idling together with more noise from the cooling (and screentearing if you previously used G-sync/Freesync) 🤡
By the end of the video, if you were paying attention you would have noticed that he has a 5900X and 1060 3GB. He is so GPU limited he could set the MSI priority to infinity and probably get a 0.1% gain. The problem is you do that on a normal person rig that is a few years old and not GPU limited, it's gonna do the opposite and do a lot more than 0.1% damage to your performance. Also most of the settings are available in the regular NVCP, so downloading all this unknown trid party crap is a waste of time. Turning off G-sync isn;t that much of an issue if you have a computer that can easily pump out enough frames to satisfy a static refresh rate screen.
@@M3PH11 G-Sync or any VRR option provides a more constant experience in ANY SITUATION otherwise the constant change in responsiveness is a problem on it's own followed by screen tearing due to monitor and gpu starting to mix and mismatch frame, waiting for the frame to fully render prevents another from rendering halfway through the first to prevent tearing. The gains came from ReBar and disabling anisotropic filtering(which makes everything look like a low res texture).

Instead of ''Just trust me bro'' approach, you could explain what these options do because I can assure you some of these actions WILL wear out the components affected unnecesarly while pc is idle.
Back in the day I used to open a command terminal at boot instead of the win user logon screen (by switching a few files and suspending some processes). Than I would start games and tools from the terminal. It gived me a good 25% framerate boost, compared from starting games after logging in. There are legal and security problems doing anyways, so I wont advise it or give any specific info. Just so you know it is doable and effective.

This video saved me I thought something was wrong with my pc
High quality video as usual, thanks. By the way, I saw that disabling cpu 0 can boost fps
in some games
nice video, only thing i add extra is rivatuner for frame rate timing, particulary on apex legends. found my average stable frame rate in game, then capped riva tuner at that rate - what does is give you stable frame rate timing. ie. its better to have 100 frames consistently than have an uncapped frame rate that constantly jumps from say 100 to 130. For aiming purposes
When comes to input lag the key thing is constant frametime you get this from fps cap. Disagree with disabling gsync somewhat. If your running 120Hz and can do fps cap of 116fps and its constant its going to be smoother/lower latency than averaging 120-200fps especially if 99% fps falls below Hz. Also if you can get 116fps constant to be lower than 90% gpu usage, its lower latency than 99% constant. If you can maintain above refresh rate fps at all times then I would disable gsync with some key things met like 99%fps is also above refresh rate, cap fps for constant frametime and try to achieve 90% usage or lower unless fps is 300+ (latency is low enough past 300) at all times or If game supports nvidia reflex then fps cap doesn't matter that much if at all. But absolute smoothest and lowest input lag will be constant frametime as the delay will always be the same.
My friend can you help me for PUBG. The fps in this game is very choppy and inconsistent. You get 250-300. You can get 80-100 at the time of battle.

It's probably something to do with the prefer maximum performance settings. Do everything he says but instead of max performance, let your PC optimally decide power
Also check if your intel card (if you have a inbuilt processor gpu) is not set on high performance only mode in the intel graphics panel
Wow great job! I had no idea there was an Nvidia profile management program you could DL to further customize your settings.
Setting your GPU to prefer maximum performance has no benefit. Your just maxing your clock speed of your GPU no matter what state it is in. This will only lessen the lifespan of your GPU and cost you more money on your electricity bill. If your playing games or doing taxing GPU intensive work loads it will automatically boost to the highest clock speed available.
But with laptop u're ur not using the GPU at all time

Here’s what to do change the setting then just exit out the control panel…. It’s gonna say do u wish to apply the changes u made click yes! After that restart ur pc then open the control panel up and it should be changed
@@MrCrunch215 thank you man
Bro.. I was playing warzone at 65 fps, its now 80fps holy thank you very much panj
Hi Panjo. thank you for posting another fps boost tutorial. I've been following your FPS boost tutorials and it really helps. I just want to ask which is better for me, G-sync off or on. I have i5 7th gen and my gpu is gtx 1060 6gb. I currently having 60-80 fps while playing warzone with NIS on. thanks again!
I would turn ON g-sync for you, your fps is on the lower side and the game should feel more smooth afterwards. What refresh rate is your monitor?
@@Panjno it's 144hz. thanks bro!
@@Panjno ????????????????????????????? bro what
the whole point of gsync is when your average fps is lower than your refresh rate, it bridges the gap so to speak, i literally have the same card and same monitor hz, and freesync works for me better on than off
@@Panjno Hey Buddy.... great Vid... I've used your tips before. I am attempting to " Tune" my new build....11900K z590 hero MoBo and an EVGA FTW Ultra 3090.....when using the Nvidia inspector ( having followed the " Non Global" method) and tuning in Microsoft Flight simulator and saving the settings.... do I need to keep the inspector open when flying or do I need to just save the settings and close it and forget it ??? IE{ set it once and it will always work closed ??
Just went through a whole hour figuring out how to convert from mbr to gpt, so i can enable rebar. managed it in the end without having to reinstall OS :)
is this recommended for gaming laptops ?
NOTE: Turning off G-Sync while running FPS higher than what your monitor can handle results in screen tearing and stuttering even if it does slightly reduce input latency. So you're picking your poison here.
Overall a great video, but I don't see the point of showing us benchmarks when using a completely different GPU compared to the one you were making all the changes for (the 1060)....unless the changes you made had no significant bearing on the changed settings for the 1060 ? 🤔 For that reason I cannot recommend these changes to anyone.
anisotropic filtering has almost 0 impact on recent GPU's, as long as you're using a 10 series GTX card or better. You might gain 1-2 FPS on average but it makes your game look significantly worse. Not at all worth it IMO! Great video though!
This does nothing, only enabled resizable bar and texture filtering on high performance can give you a little boost, i cant enable rebar cause my system is old and texture filtering was already on high performance the rest is just placebo and useless, it may even degrade your performance in some cases
Hey @Panjno hope you're having a solid week, appreciate this new video... However I was wondering if it would be possible to do a triple monitor Nvidia Surround settings video to get 120hz+ on all 3 144+ monitors??
At higher resolutions the driver limits the frame rate due to things like memory restrictions and core clock and the monitor default refresh rate. If you look up the maximum possible resolution for your card it will also tell you the maximum Hz it can refresh that at. Now, If the resolution can be refreshed higher than the default you screen can do it (so say your 144hz screen defaults to 60hz but the gpu can refresh the resolution at 75hz) you will only get 60 as an option. Now you can kind of bypass this by disabling v-sync and then making sure you montior is set to the refresh rate you want but again you will be limited by what the machine can physically do.
@M3PH I appreciate you, I knew this from my decades of PC work, but it was because I ay the time was a 32in MSI 165hz and 2 24s @144hz.... I figured it would drop the 32 to 144hz and give me 144hz across all 3 but it didn't because the monitor models were different, like a week after doing this comment I bought another 24in and now surround does the 144hz on all monitors. However, for streaming purposes since my TV is the only screen I have that does true 240hz, I decided to drop down to 120 as it's divisible by 60 which helps the encoder process the video way cleaner on stream... But I appreciate your comment, I'm sure it'll help someone out 💯✊🏽
Thank you for such a detailed and helpful video.
I have a question regarding something that has been bothering me for a while.
Do you know why does Dota 2 CPU and GPU usage stay bellow 60%?
I've tested it on several PCs and it's all the same, regardless of me optimizing those PCs or not.
For example I have Ryzen 5 3600 and GTX1070 Strix OC, 16GB 3200MHz CL16 and my CPU never goes above 40% usage and GPU never goes above 60-65%. To make it worse, CPU usually hovers around 30-35% and GPU around 45-55%. I've been getting the same FPS with Ryzen 7 1700 and GTX1050Ti and with this PC. What's up with that?
Also, both of my CPU and GPU are regularly cleaned, the entire system actually is being cleaned twice a week. I have 5 Arctic P12 fans in a good airflow case. I'm using Western Digital SN750 Black 3500mbps nvme, however my monitor is an AOC 60hz ips. FPS ranges from 100 to 190 but usually is around 120-140.
I've tried discovering what might cause this and didn't have any luck. I really hope you'll see this comment and hopefully discover what the issue is. I'm planning on getting a 144hz monitor so fixing this would mean a lot.
Thank you in advance and once again thank you for your videos as always. :) Cheers
Have you tried changing the dota.exe process to 'High'? Maybe worth a shot if you haven't tried it
@@ericwasgehtsiedasan1800 Actually yes I have and it didn't change a thing. This is why I find it quite bizarre.
The game just probably isn't very optimized. Developers do this alot with games that aren't that demanding to run. If people are already getting really good fps they don't see the need to make the game run at 300fps for most people instead of 200.
same here
Insane video results were better then I could have ever imagined
Why would you want the _Power management mode_ set to *Prefer maximum performance* for _explorer.exe_ and _dwm.exe_ (Desktop Windows Manager)?
I know right those two are not even games nor 2d programs 😂😂 no wonder why this guy got so much hate because most of he's tweak are relevent.
This is great, my FPS now are stable and fluid 70-95fps in my 10 years old PC in World of tanks (low settings) (GTX 750ti 2gb GDDR5 - AMD Phenom 2 X6 1055T)
before this guide my game was 95-140fps but sometimes freezes or loses WHUGE fps from nowhere and sometimes looked weird and took some time to recover the fps, now its looks better and and more fluis animation and explotions, thanks.
Sorry for my average english.
Can you do a system optimization guide for elden ring? The game stutters a lot, crash during online play and frame drops when using night maiden’s mist on a small group of enemies.
There's nothing you can do, DX12 & Vulkan titles ignore most of the driver settings (which is usually beneficial if correctly used by developers, if done improperly stuttering & such is the outcome).
This is working perfectly. Im lowend pc user playing apex with 8 gb rqm and i3 3rd gen processr. This is increase +25 fps. This is only one video which i got some results.
Hello panjno. Do these optimizations work on a gaming laptop? In the past I have noticed a few changes that I couldn't make due to not having the options that pc users have? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Does anybody know the answer to this? Massive FPS drop since the bee warzone update so looking to do some of these
Makes worse for my gaming laptop so I reverted to the original settings
Whenever I change the "Power Management mode" setting for either exploler, or the DWM, it reversts to its original setting everytim I hit "apply"... any ideas? It must be said that my only other option besides "Nvidia recommended" in the drop down against this setting is "use global (prefer maximum performance)"...
Try decreasing resolution -apply.. then set everything at desired level then apply
@@rayadelaide3096 Thank you so much! It works!!!
@@porcelain4261 yea buddy
@@rayadelaide3096 What do you mean decreasing resolution?
thanks for tuning my low-end gaming system for DCS.
Hey Panjno, how come you have settings such as monitor technology and power management mode and other settings that dont appear on my pc. I have a 3070 and am on the latest drivers. I see other people having them just not me. Do you know why?
same with me but I think its cuz hes on windows 11
No, im on windows 10 and i have 1060 and they are shown to me idk....
@Flowy @Messinator it's just I've seen people with extra options on windows 10 then what I have. It's weird cause like following optimisations from like fr33thy he has options that aren't shown to me as well and he's on Windows 10 u til recently
I guess you need a G-Sync compatible monitor. Mine is FreeSync and I do not have the option.
Why should i set the interrupt priority to "high" in msi mode?
U command us what to set the settings at, but without any further explanation... It definitely wouldnt hurt explaining what and why
Should these settings be stacked on top of the other settings from previous videos? Like image scaling. I just purchased an 3070 ti and I want to have all the settings adjusted accordingly. I have my settings set up now for a 1650. Upgraded to a 3070 ti
good to c a local up in here i live in Gburg in the Smokies right next to the park
@@jimmyhicks5926 Im actually located in West TN North of Memphis. Tennessee Smokies was the name of my sons travel ball team
Vision 3070ti is what GPU I have and it is a beast I love it
Sweet. I have the zotac gaming 3070ti holo amp edition
Great Video Mahn!
In Power management mode i only have two options to choose: "recommended from NVIDIA" and "Use global settings"
How do i get the other two options "optimal power" and "prefer maximum performance"?
The final benchmark looks deceiving because 99% of that uplift in performance surely comes from enabling reBAR..so yeah.. 🙃
I love panjino’s videos and help. I’ve used loads of his optimisations but this one made my graphics turn quite awful and for not any fps gain. It was when I changed the nvidia control panel stuff. It made 1440p look like 720p lol. Maybe it was something I did wrong but it didn’t look good at all. As I say I love his videos and he’s helped me a lot. Just this time it didn’t
He mentioned, messing with Anti-Aliasing settings will make your graphics look worse.
Do you need to do this on top of your performance videos before? Your previous videos helped a lot on warzone. Thanks
Thank you! I have now fully optimized my system according to all your tutorials. And my pc now runs really smooth and games are a breeze! It feels like i got a free 50% boost without changing any hardware. And these days i can really appreciate it :) Before i was getting like 30 fps with lows of 10 to 15 fps in pretty much any game and now they all run with high settings over 70 fps with lows over 60 fps. Love you man, from the bottom of my

Don't do that Guys, don't select any other Option than the first one - Most Games use their own Setup you can configure Ingame. If you change any Settings in the Nvidia Control Panel you can have a conflict with the Ingame Settings. For example: If you haver selected Anti Aliasning to 16x in the Control Panel and you switch AA to DSSL Ingame, the Nvidia Panel might decide to give your DLSS with useless 16xAA or switch of DLSS and only give you 16x AA. Best chose "Let the 3D Application decide"!
G-Sync should be used along side with V-Sync AND FPS limiter. Preferably, the ones in the game settings if available. The input lag difference is like 10-15 ms - absolutely negligible, but you get a much smoother feeling as there is no frame-tearing.
10-15ms is pretty noticeable -_-
@@xenaisu Tell me more about it lol
@@ml_serenity difference in 1ms ping compared to 15ms ping. Difference in about the edge of where you actually feel the lag, which is around 130ms ping compared to 155ms ping.
As for input latency it's somewhere about 15ms SIM compared to 35ms SIM. You just feel like you're lagging there as well. Most people won't have a clue and might be too old or too casual to notice.
You might be thinking well, how can you even tell, it's because ping is self-explanatory meanwhile input latency, it's those clips that you take if you're an esports game enthusiast where "my CROSSHAIR IS ON THEM" and you record it, slow it down, and IT IS on them, barely. Well on your display you hit the shot but because it had a 15ms delay somewhere. It never reached the server. As if you hit the outline of the enemy.
Now whatever your tastes, if you don't play competitively, it won't matter, it's not noticeable in casual games, sure give me 100ms ping and 50ms input lag and I'll still play the game just fine. Any other game where it actually matters, it's noticeable.
Take Valorant and let's give a ping example, 2 identical guys, 500 IQ each, one has 2ms ping other has 17ms ping, the guy closer to the server peaking the other guy will win the duel above 50% of the time. Marginally.
This is also the reason why in esports the tournaments are hosted on LAN with identical setups.
@@xenaisu Placebo. 99% of players will not be able to tell which one of setups has 20 ms vs 35 ms input latency.
@@ml_serenity you're a smoothbrain then, think what you want

I can't change anything with explorer.exe because every option is shown grey in the control pannel

Hi when i do the DLDSR setting the game looks amazing but the mouse feels weird like its get slowed :/ is there any fix or way for this ?
Outstanding, never seen any video with these kinds of optimizations, you also were very quick, and very straightforward with instructions and details, thank you.
I can't change any settings in the Nvidia Control Panel for the windows explorer.exe or the DWM.exe. All of the options are grey. I opened Nvidia Control Panel from "open as administrator" too. Any idea what the problem is?
i have the same issue . i have a dual card setup in my laptop . I added explorer.exe to windows setting to use the better gpu . Even after that settings are still greyed out in nvidia.
probably because of integrated gpu
Same as mine too. Try to do the settings like in the video but it greyed out
@@neomonreasid already found a fix? its the same as mine
@@zechtt2735 nope
I cant change the settings on Explorer.exe what do I do.
Me too...
here also
Yep, it is auto reverting back to default (dwm also)
Just skip the step
@@Panjno the other steps worked fine, and o get 2 more fps in warzone LMAO
No cap
Still rocking a 1080Ti, so always trying to squeeze all I can out of it - still clocks to 2100Mhz on the Core too 🤘(Only use MSI Afterburner for my GPU OC's). But I forgot about the NV Tool (Other than the basic Control Panel), thanks for these tips.
My STRIX 1080 is btching at unstable 2012Mhz. 750 power supply gold i believe. I wonder. Whetever it is the power supply for the volts flunctuating while in that overclock.
Same here, im actually impressed on how good of a card it still is, usually when a card is this many years old the performance just goes downhill, but this card still shines. makes it so much more worth the money.
Thirsty card though.
A 4060 would be better performance and cheaper to run now.
But still, if you're not concerned about heat and power, than it will do the job.
Either way its still a good midrange option even today
