Drivers - Tweaks

1. Right click desktop, Display settings, change main display to your main monitor.

   • Both monitors should be on 100% scaling, just for app compatiblity sake.

     • Side note: You can have your secondary monitor(s) at a different scaling. Just have the one you play games on as 100%.

2. Right click desktop, Nvidia Control Panel

   • 3D Settings:

     • Adjust image setings with preview:

       • Use the advanced 3D image settings

     • Managed 3D settings:

       • Low Latency Mode: On // Ultra causes performance loss of up to 20% in some titles that don't support reflex.

       • Max Frame Rate: Check subpoint below || ONLY IF YOU USE GSYNC

         • maxfreq - (maxfreq * maxfreq) / 3600

           120 - (120 * 120) / 3600.0 = 116hz

           144 - (144 * 144) / 3600.0 = 138.24hz

           240 - (240 * 240) / 3600.0 = 224hz

           360 - (360 * 360) / 3600.0 = 324hz

           480 - (480 * 480) / 3600.0 = 416hz

       • Power management mode: Prefer maximum performance

       • (Optionals | I don't use these but they help -Quality +Performance):

         • Tex Filtering - Anisotropic... : On

         • Tex Filtering - Quality : Performance

   • Display:

         • Output color depth: 8-bit or 10-bit (if it's supported)

         • Output color format: RGB

         • Output dynamic range: FULL

     • Adjust desktop color settings:

       • For more saturation or just competitive edge:

         • Turn up digital vibrance, I recommend 60-80%

           • I use 60% personally now

           • Remember to tweak your monitor settings too (Brightness, Contrast, Saturation)

           • Do not overdo this, check using something like Red Dead Redemptions' cover art
