      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.

      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.

    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.

    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.

    • @shivamverma7151
      @shivamverma7151 หลายเดือนก่อน +7

      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.

    • @pottingsoil723
      @pottingsoil723 หลายเดือนก่อน

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

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

      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.

    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. 😁👌

    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.

    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.

    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

      @@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.

    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

    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!

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.
