Also, another helpful tip that I do is to just set the max FPS to whatever my monitor's refresh rate is. 1:1 for an ideal experience. For the majority of games, you can then tweak either within the game's settings or inside the control panel and change the resolution (which also changes the refresh rate) to match what FPS you want.
For example, if your computer can only get 60 FPS on a specific game, say Call of Duty, but your monitor is 2560×1440p 144hz. Then you should change the resolution within the game to 2560×1440 60hz. While also setting a max FPS cap to 60. No need to waste more than needed.

MFAA essentially produces quality comparable to MSAAx4 while running it at MSAAx2, for around the same performance cost as the latter. It only activates if the game itself uses MSAA, so turning it off is just leaving performance and better visual quality on the floor

Its funny how so many of these so called optimization guides totally do the opposite of eachother :)

I don't agree with your stance on G-Sync. Hear me out. With G-Sync enabled and configured correctly, both in windows and the Nvidia control panel, the graphics card syncs the monitors refresh rate with the programs framerate. This completely removes screen tearing which allows you disable V-sync, which in turn drastically improves performance and reduces latency. Which is also better than allowing the graphics card to crank all out all the frames that it can produce when your monitor can't even display them for you to see. I can't see a scenario in which G-Sync or Free Sync are not beneficial, if not due to drivers, or poor implementation by monitor manufacturer.

You are just insane, I am always looking for your guides when trying a new game, rebooting or anything. Your content it's very helpful, and since the face reveal it's been even better! 🤭

Guys trust me this kind of videos are pointless... Nvidia control panel does not require adjustments, give it a try with default settings and you will see

This guide is a must after using DDU.

Your channel is always my first choice.

Ok one thing I notice is that the Image scaling makes a bunch of games looks grainy af...

[dazman]

another awesome video troublechute, just one question if im playing at 1440p res in game what is the best ratio for me to be on aspect ratio, full screen or no scaling thx mate.

[gurka]

Can you do a optimization guide for Rust?

[BaniXP]

Very helpful video thnx, next video on new nvidia apps

[tonidaluv]

Under Adjust video image settings, should I use Nvidia or video player setting?

[madmasterd]

no change fps even 1 more :|
sux video sir

[acetheice]

can I still enable image sharpening without using the scaling feature? For example, I have a 1440p resolution, and I'd prefer to keep it at the native resolution while just benefiting from the sharpening feature.

Can you make a video on how to download more ram? Also does anyone have a link for software which increases my monitors refresh rate? My friend Ricky told me I can download 145hz and my games will play at 145fps. I have gb ddr3 hyper x 2800mhz ram and a gtx760 gaming laptop

Create a Guide on AMD Control Panel Optimization after the New 24.8.1 This is the Latest version of the AMD Control Panel and Create a Guide on the Minimal and Full Installation of AMD Drivers, Create a Optimization on Minimal and Full version of AMD's Control Panel, for Best Gaming Performance.

the span displays with surround is "check" in setting of surround configuration "grey" how to uncheck it?, thanks

[SpinicFlux]

My old graphics card still has the “optimize for compute performance” option. Not sure what it does but when I turn it on all my games bug out and fail to load lol

[grievetan]

low latency mode or reflex acutally kills fps

[SAMZIRRA]

Turn off MFAA if you use Unreal Engine!
