Nvidia Inspector

Recommended Posts

I seem to be having a problem with Nvidia Inspector. In short, it is not allowing me to save any changes. I can change options, but when I apply the changes, leave, and then come back....those changes have not been saved. Has anyone else experienced this? I have never had a problem like this in the past with Nvidia Inspector, so I am baffled as to why it is doing it.... :blink:

I have the latest drivers from Nvidia and made changes yesterday and hit Apply Changes and the changes are still there.  I just changed the settings again to make sure and NI is working for me.

Jim,

 

I let Nvidia install my drivers using GeForce Experience. I have found that my NI setting don't appear to get changed using this method.

Same problem here.  Changed the frame rate limiter from 30 fps to off.  Then applied the changes.  Closed NI and opened it again.  Back to 30 fps.

I am also finding strange things with Win 10 and NI, seems FSX just ignores settings..although NI does not loose them... I am sure it is to do with the Win DWM..

 

Thanks

If we change or roll back a driver, we should also start a fresh profile, or the settings might not work.

 

What I do is use the NVidia GPU Control Panel, Manage 3D Settings, select FSX (or Prepar3D), press the "Restore" button and "Apply". Next I set "aniso mode 16x" and press "Apply", this is simply to help create a fresh NI profile. If we now go into NI there is a new FSX profile we can select and set our desired values. We can start this process by applying Restore to the Global Settings, if we want to create all new profiles. Usually it's best to start fresh with each version of driver or NI.

I notice that the CHANGE.txt file indicates that "Nvidia Inspector now requires all admin rights" (this was version 1.9.7.2 Beta and up). Could this be the source of the problem? I have tried "running as administrator", but that does not work either. Is there a Windows 7 setting I can temporarily change to gain full access?

 

EDIT: I have three "Undefined" settings at the bottom of the list. They are all set as "0x00000001 (Base Profile)". Are they supposed to be there?

Thanks Steve,

 

I have tried many different approaches creating new profiles re installs of both NIN Nvidia drivers and finally FSX SE but alas no go just will not take them...the 1/2 synch in particular now seems broken...you can set this in NI then try unlimited which I never use always lock to 30 and FSX just ignores and tries to produce 120 fps...so it just does not seem to work.

 

Funny this I think started with Win 7 I noticed a issue then...I wonder if Nividia have been fiddling with the drivers...

 

Who knows...not sure if it is any better in P 3 d but if it the case I will get the version 3 when out...but the in the meantime.. I am parking the flight sim.

 

All the best

Hi Mark, yes certainly seems to be funny behaviour, does NI elevate privileges when you run it?

I seriously consider using **only** the Nvidia Control Panel for all settings, and give up using NI.
