How To Do Nvidia Optimization On Windows 11 (Nvidia Control Panel Settings For Windows 11)


You should be able to open up the Nvidia control panel by right-clicking your desktop. And then click on the Nvidia Control Panel.

1. Nvidia 3D Settings Optimization


Adjust Image Setting with preview

When the Nvidia control panel opens up, you’ll see something like the 3d settings tab on the first page. Simply ensure you have it set to “Use the advanced 3d image settings” over here.

Then click the “Take me there” link, which will take you to the managed 3D settings submenu over here. All you want to do is go through the settings here. And make sure they closely match my settings.

2. Nvidia Global Settings


I will go ahead and adjust them to better what you should try. Match to become: I’ve run through all of the settings here and adjusted it to be something more like what yours should be.

Of course, you may have more or fewer options than me, depending on what kind of graphics card you have.

Suppose you have more options than I don’t. Use common sense or follow Nvidia’s suggestions. You usually have the Nvidia icon next to them. Otherwise, if you’re missing specific options, don’t worry about it. Skip over them.

3. Program Settings For Nvidia Control Panel


Program settings

Added to the program settings page over here. Should I start with the same settings as the global settings tab? Of course, if you’d like, you can drop into specific games here, such as Modern Warfare. And adjust them to better match the global settings we have above.

4. Nvidia Resolution/FPS Setting On Windows 11


Let’s move on to the next tab.

1. We’re going to head across to DisplayChange resolution. This page is significant, especially if you have a high refresh rate screen.

My primary monitor over here is G-sync capable. It’s 144 hertz.

You need to make sure that it’s set to the maximum or advertised resolution for every one of your screens. Refresh rate or fps rate that you bought your monitor for.

Change Nvidia Display resolution

Suppose you bought a 144hz monitor. Could you set it to 144hz? And if you bought a 2k 144 monitorset it to 2k 144. you want to set it to whatever you bought your monitor as. Sometimes, at least from what I’ve seen. Though incredibly rare, it’ll offer resolutions and refresh rates that the Display doesn’t necessarily support.

If, for some reason. You choose the resolution or fps rate that isn’t supported. As soon as you click on apply. you’ll notice that your screen goes black. Don’t worry, don’t click anything. Wait around 15 seconds, and it should automatically revert.

Why is that? Simply click apply, and you’ll see a pop-up on your screen. Saying would you like to keep the settings?

You’ll either click yes or no. if you don’t click anything. It’ll simply revert, which is the same as pressing no. It’s that simple.


5. Nvidia Color Settings


At the very bottom. I’d highly recommend clicking Use Nvidia color settings

  •  I am choosing color depth: Highest.
  • The best color format, which for me is only RGB
  • And an output dynamic range of preferably Full

Look at the very bottom: “Output dynamic range allows the user to select the dynamic range (16 to 235 or 0 to 255 for 8bpc) of the output, which can preserve shadow and highlight details in the image being viewed.”

Having the output dynamic range set to Full rather than limited is better. Unless your screen looks terrible. Anyways, once you’ve adjusted your screens to have the highest refresh rate, that’s advertised for the monitor and, of course, the highest resolution. Click Apply, and your monitors will readjust.


6. Adjust Desktop Size And Position On Nvidia Control Panel On Windows 11


1. I’d highly recommend setting it to No scaling for all your screens. If, for some reason, you do need to scale. Choose Fullscreen or aspect ratio above.

Adjust Desktop Size and Position

2. Then, Perform scaling on the Display if it’s available.

Such as the one over here, rather than the GPU, offloads any extra work that the GPU has to do, giving you higher fps and just giving it to the screen to process itself as it can probably do that most modern screens can scale. It’s that simple.

7. Nvidia G-Sync Settings (If available)

Go to the Setup g-sync tab if you have a g-sync monitor. 

  • I’d recommend enabling the G-sync, G-sync compatible. 
  • Enabling the “For windowed and full-screen mode.” 

Go to Click on Apply once again.

How To Update Nvidia Graphics Drivers On Windows 11
