March 11, 201610 yr There is sometimes alot of reference made in the forums to Nvidia Inspector. I just wanted to clarify what the difference is between NI and Nvidia's Control panel (Global) interface. The interface seems to be almost identical with the same options presented. Is there a functional difference between the two? Can I set 2x SGSS in NCP or do I have to set it using NI? Thanks
March 11, 201610 yr NCC is what you can open from the nvidia icon in your systray. Yeah, the two are similar, but I suspect (not confirmed), that the NCC dialog is part of the driver install directly from nvidia. I don't think NI is sanctioned by nvidia (again, not confirmed). You also forgot about the GeForce Experience, which adds yet another layer of adjustments from nvidia card, but I personally have never been able to get a flight sim to show up in it's list of supported games (since the sims aren't games, right?). Look down through the available settings in NCC...what you see is what you get. NI definitely has a lot more settings adjustments, but I believe it is all in what you prefer to tweak. I thin the NCC is more of the "quick and easy" settings adjustments whereas NI is more in-depth and definitely not for the amateur. A lot more understanding is needed with NI. All of what I stated above is from my point of view (and experience) and I am open to hearing more from the experts. -Jim Engage, research, inform and make your posts count! -Jim Morvay Origin EON-17SLX - Under the hood: Intel Core i7 7700K at 4.2GHz (Base) 4.6GHz (overclock), nVidia GeForce GTX-1080 Pascal w/8gb vram, 32gb (2x16) Crucial 2400mhz RAM, 3840 x 2160 17.3" IPS w/G-SYNC, Samsung 950 EVO 256GB PCIe m.2 SSD (Primary), Samsung 850 EVO 500gb M.2 (Sim Drive), MS Windows 10 Professional 64-Bit
March 11, 201610 yr NCP offers the basic options. NI offers a LOT more options (really A LOT MORE). Like for instance the 2x SGSS you mentioned: this can only be set using NI. Take note that NI and NCP are both interfaces to the same set of settings: NI simply has access to hidden ones. Concerning Jim's post: NCP is the official control panel you get with the nVidia drivers. NI is a non supported 3rd party utility.
March 11, 201610 yr Author Thanks Jim It seems that people aren't recommending any other setting changes outside of P3D itself other than 2xSGSS. So my question then is, can I set this in NCP or do I have to use the separate NI utility. Would there be a difference? Edit: JvE - okay I thought the option was available in both. My bad
