Bog9y Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Hi guys, I would like to start this thread to find out what people find are the optimal settings in the Nvidia control panel and why? I think we all have: LOW LATENCY MODE set to ULTRA. PWR Management - Prefer MAX performance V SYNC - OFF FRAME RATE MAX - OFF What about the other settings though? Do the following settings make a big difference in image quality vs performance? IMAGE SHARPENING - On or off? Negative LOD BIAS - I read that it's best to have this set to ALLOW SHADER CACHE - On or off? Pre-Rendered frames - I noticed that 4 seems better than 1, less ghosting. I use a Reverb G1 at 90 Hz with reprojection forced/2080SUPER/Ryzen 5900X/32gb Ram 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dburne Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 The only thing I use NVCP for is to set Ultimate Performance for my games profiles. 3 Don B EVGA Z390 Dark MB | i9 9900k CPU @ 5.1 GHz | Gigabyte 4090 OC | 64 GB Corsair Vengeance 3200 MHz CL16 | Corsair H150i Pro Cooler |Virpil CM3 Stick w/ Alpha Prime Grip 200mm ext| Virpil CM3 Throttle | VPC Rotor TCS Base w/ Alpha-L Grip| Point Control V2|Varjo Aero| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it give you better performance in DCS than when you manually tweak it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just insures my GPU runs at it's max boost during the game, course max boost also dependent on GPU temp. 1 Don B EVGA Z390 Dark MB | i9 9900k CPU @ 5.1 GHz | Gigabyte 4090 OC | 64 GB Corsair Vengeance 3200 MHz CL16 | Corsair H150i Pro Cooler |Virpil CM3 Stick w/ Alpha Prime Grip 200mm ext| Virpil CM3 Throttle | VPC Rotor TCS Base w/ Alpha-L Grip| Point Control V2|Varjo Aero| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slo-Mo Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 Recommend this video by Lucas S. /Wolta were he goes through all the NVCP settings and their effect in VR: 4h:52m:35s into the video he concludes his findings. Basically not that many NVCP settings that have much effect on VR in DCS. Might be different on different systems so you gonna have to try for urself. But at least it gives some hints/guidance.

Bog9y Posted May 11, 2021 Author Share Posted May 11, 2021 Cool, thanks for that link! I've not seen that video before. So basically, power management to max performance and maybe use ULTRA low latency and perhaps pre rendered frames to 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
