Hey guys,

Just looking for some help with Nvidia Control panel please.
Ok so i just bought Sniper Elite V2 on a Steam sale and it seems to have a few known frame rate issues with Nvidia cards.

I have found a work around online that requires making a seperate profile in Nvidia control panel.

Thing is guys i can only find one of my games (not Sniper Elite V2) in the program settings tab in the control panel.

I have 15-20 Steam games installed on my pc and a few other mmo's. but i can only see that one game.
I have never had to use the Nvidia Control panel before so if i am missing something silly here then i apologise.

Thanks guys.

My specs

i5 2500k @4.2 Ghz
MSI P67A-GD65 mobo
8Gb Ripjaw DDR3
EVGA GTX 570 (latest driver)
WD Black 1TB 7200 Hard Drive
 
I'm not on my home PC so can't recreate your question for reference, so going from the top of my head...

You can add games manually to the Control Panel. It's supposed to detect games on your system automatically, but doesn't do a great job.

Just click the Add button and browse to the executable of the game (for Steam games it's somewhere in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common and then the relevant subfolder for the game).

When you find the executable and add it, the Control Panel will adjust the specific settings automatically assuming a profile already exists (there will be one for Sniper Elite v2). You'll know if it has been detected correctly because the name of the game will be displayed on the dropdown menu. You can then tweak the settings individually for the game.

You should do this for all your games by the way, especially if you use SLI :)
