Do you guys change default Nvidia CP settings?

[daninthemix]

Hey all, just wondering what if any settings you change in the default 3D option profile for Nvidia cards?

I have Triple Buffering - On, Negative LOD Bias - Clamp, and Texture Filtering - High Quality.

 

[Helveticat]

I crank everything up to the max except for AA "only" to 32.

Yes, quality increased to High Quality, optimizations disabled and clamp negative lod, then set AA/AF and force off vsync which depends on the game.

HI, good question- I set manually.

(Settings go from top to the bottom)

-A.O.- quality
-A.F.- 16x
-A- Gamma correction- ON
-Antialiasing Mode- App. controlled
(however sometimes set to enhance app. settings and x32CSAA- some games don't run well on this settings, so leaving at app. controlled.
-A. Transperancy- Multisample (sometimes to x8 supersample- once again, not all games run well)
-Thread optimization- Auto
Trilinear opt.- OFF
-Tripple buffering ON
-Texture Filtering Quality- Quality

I didn't think tripple buffering worked in the Nvidia control panel, I kept reading that you had to force it through D3Doverrider, is this true?

it only affects opengl programs via the cp so a third party program is needed for directx

One of the administrators at the nVidia forum said that isn't the case - it works for DirectX too.

Doesn't appear to do so though when running tests, same with the tooltil still says opengl only on it :S

The tooltip says V-sync only works on OpenGL (however I've also found that to work with games like BFBC2, Stalker COP, Far Cry) but Triple Buffering doesn't say anything about not working in D3D.
