- This Nvidia control panel best quality settings for gaming tutorial will show you how to optimize the Nvidia control panel for the ultimate and highest gaming performance, image quality and FPS that can be achieved on gaming laptops, high end and low end PCs. This guide focuses on the Manage 3D settings area which gives you the most control over visual quality in games. I'll also show you how to download, how to get and how to use the Nvidia control panel. If your Nvidia control panel is missing, not showing or not opening, let me know and I'll make a video about it. Want a SweetFX / ReShare or Nvidia Inspector utilities tutorial for advanced tweaking? Let me know in the comments! - shogoz

3D Settings for Nvidia Control Panel NVCP
This is the main section for configuring important graphics and performance-related settings on your Nvidia GPU. There are three major sub-components here: 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. Use my preference emphasizing
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 you select in the drop-down box at the top.
Image sharpening
Turn off image sharpening and GPU scaling.
Ambient Occlusion
Ambient Occlusion, such as SSAO (Screen Space Ambient Occlusion), HBAO (Horizon Based Ambient Occlusion) or HDAO (High Definition Ambient Occlusion), it's best to first try that rather than to force AO from the NVCP.
Anisotropic Filtering
The options for this setting are Application Controlled, Off, 2x, 4x, 8x, and 16x. Most games will benefit from using forced 16x AF.
Antialiasing FXAA
AA is a technique used to smooth the appearance of jagged lines.
Antialiasing Gamma Correction
This setting has no impact on modern DirectX games.
Antialiasing Mode
Set to Application-controlled.
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 Factors
Dynamic Super Resolution (DSR) is a feature that allows you to render a game at a higher resolution than your monitor's native resolution (its max supported resolution), and then rescales the higher resolution image to match your native resolution
DSR Smoothness
This setting comes into effect when the DSR - Factors setting is enabled. GeDoSaTo (Generic DownSampling Tool) provides many more options than DSR.
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.
Power Management Mode
The options are Optimal Power, Adaptive and Prefer Maximum Performance.
Shader Cache
Texture filtering Anisotropic Sample Optimization
Set to Off to ensure the highest image quality
Texture filtering Negative LOD bias
Set this to Clamp NOT Allow.
Texture filtering Quality
Options include High Performance, Performance, Quality and High Quality.
Texture filtering Trilinear Optimization
Threaded Optimization
Triple Buffering
Vertical Sync / VSYNC
If you have a Gsync monitor, skip this.
Virtual Reality Pre-rendered Frames
Virtual Reality - Variable Rate Super Sampling
Other options in the NVCP include display settings which allow you to:
Change resolution, adjust desktop colour 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.
Actually haven't seen a tutorial that explains each setting so that's epic. In other more important news, I now understand how it feels to see a Shogoz vid pop up.
Thanks Georgie! Happy to hear it's useful because I was working on this on and off for like a month :P
Sup Georgie
go to the point to mach fack..
Never thought I would have a laugh on a nvidia control panel settings
same love it
Yup! We usually feel stress or rage while configuring the thing
@@rpgamezzz270 same
lol
When I first read this comment before watching I was like tf...but then I saw it
This guide is a lot better than Panjno's guide since instead of just optimizing for the highest frames possible, you actually picked the settings that has minor impact to the system and still give benefits.
Not to mention the comedy is great as well :)
True
That's why I like guides like these that gives a compromise for both :)
The power Management option in other videos shows that you should keep it on prefer maximum performance. Which is why some people notice the rising temperatures and some performance issues. I'm glad that you showed us the proper way
2 years later and this is still a great refresher video on optimization. Thank you ^-^
I installed nvidia control panel in my brain now everything is optimized
Monkey neuron activation
Okay you deserve a million subs. This is not only a really good and well executed video about the settings but also humorous which is a plus for me. And what’s even more amazing is that i think you’re the only youtuber who explains and shows the differences INSIDE the game as well which is what I’ve been looking for. Alot of effort put into this. You’ve earned a sub bruv 👍
Thank you so much! :) I appreciate the kind words!
I like how he goes in-depth with everything. The attention to detail in this video is elite. My mouse magically clicked sub and turned on post notifs on its own because it would like to say thanks.
Just so ya know, this is the most in depth NVCP breakdown on TH-cam for 2020. PERIOD
:D
Thanks man I appreciate it :D hopefully the next video is just as useful!
1st off this guy is hilarious!!!
Secondly anyone that down voted this clearly didn't use his settings. Made a BIG difference for me on some high end games!
I say THANK YOU sir.
Thank you Jam Currie!! I apologise that I only just saw this comment :S
the fact that you made tutorials entertaining and informative--- epic gamer
Just installed Assassin's Creed Black Flag and wanted a fluid gameplay. Thanks man, helped a lot. Good day!!!
This is how a business works, help your customers while bringing an enjoyable service. Well done
Thank you dude! I appreciate that 🙂 I hope you enjoy the rest of your week!
dude got "suicide note'' on his desktop lmao
YOU'RE THE FIRST TH-camR I'VE SEEN WHO DESERVES TO BE A TH-camR LMAO!! XD
Thank you haha
@@shogoz you're welcome
Your video saved me a bunch of troubles and research, u earned a sub my dude
Kind of you to say! It took a long time to research in preparation for the video because the information was scattered everywhere 😂
@@shogoz Yeah exactly, Nvidia control panel was fucking with some game settings i was playing on and it was literally unplayable. I was wondering how it was possible after like 4-5 hours of research.
im a poor person: has rtx 2070
Only thing I've upgraded though in the last 4 years since I bought it, oh and the SSD :p
@@shogoz next upgrade you need a higher refresh rate monitor.
@@shogoz i only have an ssd ;-;
That's actually not bad
Well my parents make about 300-400 bucks a week (Because of C-Virus) and I'm getting an RTX 2060 SUPER. it took a few pay checks but, I'm getting it
Wait I just noticed the naming of icons on your desktop JUST 30 seconds before the video ends and I can't stop rolling on the floor xD
Liked and subscribed ;D
This was the best video I've encountered for these Nvidia Control Panel settings, thank you sir for taking the time to explain!
Yo thank you so much :D
You should be on every tutorial, I've laughed more at this video than I have anything in a long time. Great points too lol Keep em coming!!! Not telling you what to do TuDey!!! LOL
I appreciate that dude!! Hope you're having a great weekend :D
came for the tutorials, stayed for the content. very refreshing finding a very helpful AND very funny tutorial guide. awesome shit
This dude cured my FPS AND My DEPRESSION!!
Just stumbled upon this video and found it quite entertaining :) But there are some statements I think are wrong/misleading and I would like to correct:
1. Image sharpening is NOT an upscaling technique meant to be used in tandem with a lower resolution. It is just a sharpening shader. What you are thinking of is DLSS which is only supported by a handful of games. I would suggest using Image sharpening in specific games with some form of AA or DSR which introduces quite a bit of blurriness that can be countered with this setting.
2. FXAA is one of the cheapest AA technologies and affects performance minimally compared to the more expensive SMAA or MSAA. It is a great tool to inject AA in some games (with bad/no AA) with relatively low cost. Blurriness can again be countered by image sharpening.
3. Shader cache is best left on since most games tend to use it correctly and stutter less over time after building the shader cache. I would only turn it off in specific titles that have compatibility issues with that setting.
4. Regarding DSR: Of course it's mostly unusable in expensive Triple-A titles but it's the best looking AA method and works great with older or lightweight games. Also: If you set it to "4.0x" it is far better to turn off smoothness completely (set to 0%) since you are at twice the pixel count of your monitor and edges are fine. The only other (less expensive) setting which makes sense is "2.25x" which results in 1.5 times your resolution and has the least distortions of the other settings (here you can set smoothness to 20%). All in all there is no reason to not have 2.25x and 4.0x activated and choose the DSR resolutions in games where your rig can handle it.
5. Low Latency mode does exactly the opposite of what you are fearing. It helps to *reduce* input lag but can introduce lower framerates or stutter if your CPU cannot keep up. That is why it's difficult to give a general recommendation here. But I would say, try setting it to "on" or even "ultra" at least in competitive games when you have frame rates between 60-100fps. This setting is especially helpful when used with VSync "on".
6. V-Sync: If anything framerate is more consistent with Vsync since it's locked to your Monitor Refresh Rate and the input lag can be countered with "low latency mode". The main problem is when your FPS cannot keep up with your refresh rate since this can introduce stutter. So a general recommendation is again difficult. Choosing "Adaptive" can be a great alternative to "VSync on/off" since it deactivates VSync automatically when you drop below your refresh rate so eliminating the main problem with it. Additionally, "Fast" setting is recommended when your FPS output is constantly greater than your refresh rate to experience G-Sync like performance (no tearing, minimal input lag).
7. G-Sync may be very expensive but most gaming monitors are now at least GSync compatible and noticeably cheaper. I am pointing this out because some settings must be set differently again to utilize that Hardware correctly.
tldr: It often depends on user preferences, hardware and specific games what to set in the nvidia control panel. So understanding what each setting does is a lot more helpful to find the setting that is right for YOU :)
Thanks for the comment dude, really. I appreciate that you spent quite a lot of time writing this and it's filled with useful information. When I'm on my computer I'll save it so I can recheck those specific settings and I'll update this video accordingly. I definitely need to talk about the input latency one because from what I've read and have been told from other people who have commented is that if you have a gsync monitor it's best that this setting is on but if you're using a vsync monitor it can actually have the reverse effect and produce more input lag. Purely dependent on your specific setup but I needed to say that. Anyway dude thanks for the information! I will research more reeeeee
@@shogoz My pleasure! Feel free to contact me if you want to discuss something in detail ;)
This man really wrote a whole essay
And was WRONG!
@@mrrooster4876 Do you mind elaborating? Always keen to learn more ;)
This is the best tutorial video ever , YOUR HUMOR IS PERFECT LMAO
Entertainment + Tutorial = Pure perfection. Thank you, sir.
Usually in every guide I skip boring parts but in this video there's nothing to skip :'D
I do not think I have ever laughed this loud in a tutorial. You win the prize!
I do not care if this video helped or not but I really enjoyed watching it.
Why can't tutorials be like this man...
12:20 had me in tears.
CRVXMXND you should check some of his older vids 😉 he is hilarious 👍
@@wutang6020 Oh I have lmao I'm subbed.
@@wutang6020 @CRVXMXND Thanks guys you're awesome :D
I really appreciate the amount of research and humor you put into this guide. It definitely makes the guide far less difficult for people with massive amounts of ADHD (like me).
Dude I'm very happy this helped you out! Will be sure to make future guides in the same format as this one :D
Hands down funniest video i have watched in a while + very informal. You have gained your self a subscriber
I’m 1:34 sec in on this vid and I already love it man! Just your whole vibe 👍🏼 got a have fun with this
This guy deserves so many more subscribers!
I originally looked up a video to help optimize my RTX 2060 in my new laptop but this dude ruined my day and made it better somehow
I followed every steps and it did made my game clearer and it's also clear for me that she doesn't like me.
That escalated quickly
This is the first time I enjoyed the tutorial video, with a big smiley face 😂
My fps went from 12 to 21 thanks man 🔥 🔥
😂😂😂
I love this video. Not only does it tell you what settings to use, it also explains what each setting does. It's also hilarious. Thank you! Very informative and helpful.

Long af tutorial but very well edited and made me laugh a lot, youtubers like you need to be recognized, so i wrote this
Post more pls
Low latency mode off makes it hiher than 1 prerednered frames. On locks prerendered frames to 1
I’m uj
I love having the full explanation. The WORST is when a tuber recommends you download their settings presets, like, I don't know you but trust you with my entire life (or my gaming rig, same diff). Anyhow, did as you suggested and the results ... I got a much better image AND an extra 5 fps (from 44 to 49), so over 10% gain ... and looks better ... and faster ... and looks better. You rocked this sh1t! Thanks much.
Hey everyone ... do this.
Yeah I really don't like when people say "do this, do that" without any explanation :P. I'm seriously happy to read that it increased your fps by 5 - increasing fps by that much is very hard to do! Hope you're having an awesome week ma dude!
I like your background, I'm french and if u didn't know tintin is french. Ur welcome. J'adore tes vidéos ! (that was french)
Thanks man!! Also didn't know Tintin was French :o!! it was hella popular here for a long time. I watched it a lot when I was a kid!
You didn't actually change that much but did it in an entertaining way. ggs
I'm using sharpening because of TAA which just smears vaseline all over the screen. Sharpening helps it immensely.
true
My man this is some quality work. I tried all these settings for Assasin's creed Unity and now it runs smooth as butter
Happy to hear that Rahul! :D
I doubt you'll see this but this improved my PC's performance so much, before this I followed the top results tips and my whole system was stuttery mess, but this has really fixed it, thank you so much.
I appreciate the comment and I'm glad it helped you dude :)
I don't usually leave comments on videos but that effort you put on that requires like and a comment. Keep it up.
No channel has made me laugh this much let alone laugh and learn
bro you nailed it I was wandering around and searching for best NVidia setting and there I got to see your video you have earned a subscriber thanks bro.
Truly hilarious! And very informative, thank you for the education! Question though, the ASO and Trilinear options are performance boosters if turned On, regardless of the amount of boost, and your main point is that they show no visible image quality difference. So if no noticeable image quality difference, why wouldn't you just take the very small boost and turn these On?
That's a really good point haha oops. When I update this tutorial I'll be sure to include what you've said because you're right. Thank you!! :o
So, Nvidia has basically added bloatware settings in this control panel over time to make you believe that you have more GPU features. I'm not surprised. Thank you for defining each control! About half of these controls should be turned on on each game individually and not in this panel, you mentioned and this makes more sense.
u deserve so many more subs homie, keep up the entertaining vids g
I like how this bro deliver his content
I have not piseed my self laughing since we started lockdown thanks was grate video you got me hooked God bless
This might be my favorite instructional video ever, I've never laughed out loud at a tutorial before, good stuff 👍
Thanks for this tutorial! It made a noticeable difference in performance.
As a poor french guy I passed the entiere video to laugh at your icons name bro that's just perfect !! And also that's the best tuorial i've seen since How To Basic ! Cheers from the FR and have a nice day x)
And I just seen the DBH icon, so I want marry you now.
Wedding in Vegas incoming ;)
@@shogoz want connor as best man x)
Wow, came here for instructions, but didn't expect to laugh so hard!!
Brilliant guide. if shadows and edges look pixelated dont use MFAA. i had so much problems and finally figured out it was that causing issues. this was in Black ops Cold War. Now game looks stunning.
Thanks for the tip dude! Definitely useful!
i died when he said that he personally hope it explodes....because I was thinking the exact same thing about people who own those
I opened the video to solve my problems but I found myself laughing all the time. (Liked by the way)
This is like LTT meets ownage pranks n i love it, maybe try getting tyrone in the next vid
Every tutorial I found ppl were only saying do that and check this but you explain everything in detail which was just what I was looking for :)
Thanks Leo! :D
The Irony behind your wallpaper...lol
I watched the entire video expecting this guy to have at least 2 million subscribers
13:31 im sold
Thx for the knowledge friend
Came here for the settings and information on them. Left with a big smile cuz of your moderating style. Great Vid!
Thanks a lot Luca!! Have an awesome Saturday :D
Best explanation of Nvidia setting I've seen. "Just turn that shit off" LOL
This video was not what I expected, how did I watch this entire long ass video sat here laughing my balls off but still learning a shit ton goddamn good shit my guy
He turned himself into a pickle, funniest shit ive ever seen
Thanks alot buddy this is definitely the best optimization guide for the nvidia control panel..love this vid👍🙂
Yo thank you so much :D hopefully the next video is just as good!
@@shogoz don't worry bud it will also be the best 😉... waiting for it😁
I like the part where he said Yo
YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO 😍
Just upgraded my PC earlier this month, going from i7 2600K to i7 9700K
ATI Radeon HD 6890 to RTX 2070 SUPER, and 16GB DDR3 to 32GB DDR4
This is the second GPU from NVIDIA I have ever owned in my whole life.
The first Geforce I had was the Geforce 2 MX400 with 32MB of ram from 2001.
The RTX 2070 Super is great in ultra settings 1080p (and most 1440p games)
LmAO this deserves more views
Thanks bro :D
I watched the entire video because 1: it was very informative (thank you for your research)
And 2: I freaking had a really good laugh with this, congrats on maintaining the character for 19 minutes long tho
Might rewatch it again just for the fun 😂
I apologise that I only just saw this comment :S I'm happy you enjoyed the video!
I appreciate all the sarcasm I was LMAO quite a few times. Pretty helpful stuff 👍.
Damn you explained all the why's and how's and showed examples unlike many youtubers. You're very underrated
Thanks man I appreciate that :o
For some reason this was entertaining
I don't know if this was a comedy or an educational tutorial, but this was great and helped a lot, Thanks.
I like your channel
I too, like his channel
of course the 10 year olds are gonna like it
MY FIRST TIME EVER WATCHING A 18 MIN TUTO VIDEO that was a fun explanation
I'm pretty sure that this video is exactly what would happen if Ranton took over Linus Tech Tips
I wish Linus was my biological father
Bruh ur very underrated u need more subscribes
I got another video idea: "How to fully optimize Windows 10 the frickin' right way"
You can decide, if you want to do it to get some beautiful viewers out there.
Thank you for the video idea :o I've since made the first of many Windows 10 optimisation tutorials
@ 2:23 shows nvidia preview settings in a graph... Your doing gods work son
What perform scaling on you recommend: GPU or Display? And Override the scaling mode set by games and programs checked or not?
I must say, I just saw the shortcuts on your desktop... Man, those are some neat shit there :D
Man, this guy is a genius. I almost shit myself after too much laughing
never thought id be going back on a nvidia control panel video to see the shortcuts names
You're actually GOATED, you deserve more views. Btw I customized my resolution and now I run 75hz instead of that 60 $hit.
Thanks man 😂 ps box up your monitor right now and send it to me plz just write 'Australia' on the box and I'll find it. Screw 60hz!!!!
@@shogoz Lol my monitor is Dogg $hit but I'll be down to write Aus on the box of my $hitty ViewSonic monitor
this video alone makes you one of my favorite channels on all youtube,, much love man ,, really thanks for the guide, this is the only useful guide of nvida control panel in all the internet much love man
Thank you so much dude!!!
Honestly I watch your videos for the comedy...
hey bruh, got my pc today so, main reason i watched this video. anyway, watched whole thing, really informative and helpful. thankyou!
That means a lot dude! Thank you so much :D
7:28 he says to all the nerds out there, and he himself seems to me like the funniest nerd i have ever seen
Wow I'm 3 mins in and I think I'll sub just for your personality lmao
I appreciate the comment dude, thank you!! :D enjoy your weekend!
Best "how to" ever.
Thanks Matt 😂😂 hope you're having a good weekend
sad that this only has 250k views atm, i mean compared to other similar themed videos like this that have literal millions of views yet for example, those videos tend to have the option of power management mode recommended to prefer maximum performance where this video explains its not even the best ideal option to use, top marks shogoz
subbing just for this video alone as well, absolutely deserved
Omg dude I almost missed so many points laughing
I am using your settings and I will share this video to whoever asks me what's my Nvidia Control settings. I'm laughing all the way while learning. Ha! I'm subscribed to your channel because of this f*cking awesome video. Keep it up bro. :)
who are this nerds who dislike the video? console gamers? :D
Thanks for the tutorial. I have to watch it again for the settings. It is hilarious 😂
Glad you enjoyed it Mus'ab! :D
