What is on the tab
Section titled “What is on the tab”A list of NVIDIA driver 3D settings: antialiasing, texture filtering, Threaded Optimization, GPU power management, vertical sync, frame rate limit and others. A game is selected via the “Search for a game to configure” search — then the parameters are applied to its profile rather than globally. At the top — “Default”, “Optimal” (a prepared profile of recommended values), “Export” and “Import” for transferring settings, “Refresh”. Instant application is not available on this page — after changes, click “Apply”.
Recommendation
Section titled “Recommendation”Start with “Optimal”, and change individual parameters only after reading their descriptions: locking the performance mode and disabling power saving can raise temperature and power consumption without an increase in FPS. When comparing, look at 1% low and frametime, not just average FPS — the methodology and limitations are in the GPU presentation and power study.
How to verify the result
Section titled “How to verify the result”Run the same game scene before and after the change and compare 1% low, frametime and stability.
How to change and revert
Section titled “How to change and revert”A parameter’s value is selected in its row, then “Apply” is clicked. “Default” returns the factory values: a normal click — for all profiles, a click with SHIFT held — only for the current one.
