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
When the Nvidia control panel opens up, you’ll see something like the 3d settings tab on the very first page. Simply make sure that you have it set to “Use the advanced 3d image settings” over here.
Then click the “Take me there” link. that will take you across 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’m going to 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. Simply use common sense or follow the Nvidia suggestions. You usually have the Nvidia icon next to them. Otherwise, if you’re missing specific options, don’t worry about it. Simply skip over them.
3. Program Settings For Nvidia Control Panel
Added to the program settings page over here. Should I think to 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 that we have above here.
4. Nvidia Resolution/FPS Setting On WIndows 11
Let’s move on to the next tab.
1. We’re going to head across to Display> Change 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.
What you need to do is 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.
Suppose you bought a 144hz monitor. Could you set it to 144hz? And if you bought a 2k 144 monitor, set it to 2k 144. basically, you want to set it to whatever you bought your monitor as. Sometimes at least from what I’ve seen. Though it is incredibly rare, it’ll offer resolutions and refresh rates that aren’t necessarily supported by the Display.
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 back.
Why is that? Well, simply if you click on apply. you’ll see a pop-up on your screen. Saying would you like to keep the settings? You’ll either click yes or no. and 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.”
It’s better to have the output dynamic range set to Full rather than limited. unless your screen looks absolutely terrible. Anyways once you’ve adjusted all of your screens to be 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 that you set it to No scaling for all of your screens. If, for some reason, you do need to scale. Choose Fullscreen or aspect ratio above.
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.
