When plying through a bunch of settings it might be easier to use God Mode:

Make a folder and rename it:

GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}

That should make it look like the Control Panel Icon and gives quick access to a lot of features.

 

 

@glider1 Have you tried locking your gpu clocks via CMD? here a few commands that might be useful: 

Run cmd administrator navigate via CMD to cd \Program Files\NVIDIA Corporation\NVSMI\ 

nvidia-smi -lgc 4104,1620         This command will set gpu clocks 4104 Vram 1620 core clock. 

You can also check the gpu power limits: nvidia-smi -i 0 --format=csv --query-gpu=power.limit

To set power limit: nvidia-smi -i 0 -pl 160  You can define any number instead 160.

Here you can log power draw: nvidia-smi -i 0 --loop-ms=1000 --format=csv,noheader --query-gpu=power.draw

For more detailed information you can also give a look nvidia-smi pdf file that placed C:\Program Files\NVIDIA Corporation\NVSMI folder.

 

Regards

Always best to use the app specific profile, as I always mentioned throughout this thread, and default the global..

Hi Steve,

This might be a good point in the conversation for me to ask you for some further clarification about this, please.

One of my bugbears is having to spend time restoring app-specific Profiles in NCP after performing a clean install/ update of NVidia graphics drivers. This is partly why I have stopped following the clean install route and decided to reserve that option for when something goes wrong. So far I seem to have been lucky and driver updates seem quick and painless.

Are you saying that meddling with Profile settings, as determined (and optimised?) by NVidia is now unnecessary and we should just accept the defaults for everything, including that provided by NVidia for Prepar3D?

In the past I’ve seen it recommended that VSync (for games running in true full screen) should be disabled in a game’s in-game graphic settings (forget about P3D as it is a special case) and enabled in the game’s NCP Profile. I’ve adopted this approach and have not been aware of any downsides. However, I now wonder whether things have moved on and stuff like this is no longer considered strictly necessary if, indeed, it ever was.

I note that NVidia’s GeForce Experience automatically optimises graphics settings for most, but not all (e.g. Elite Dangerous) game’s found on a user’s system. Further configuration of a game’s Profile may be disturbing those optimisations. All this begs the question as to why these Profiles are included with NCP, and can be modified, unless it is to cater for those systems that may be straying outside what can be considered as being mainstream.

I think you more or less got it right there Mike. In general those settings are for special circumstances. In the games, often those settings are simply mirrored in the profile, the profile takes precedence. But the game might actually have some other thing or optimisation when you use the in-game setting rather than the NCP profile equivalent.

So, as a rule it’s best to leave any NCP Profile as is (NVidia’s optimised default settings) and any changes should only be made via the App’s GUI.

Certainly best to only override with the profile when necessary Mike, yes absolutely. Straying from standards is the main reason for errors. Fixed a problem for a contact only a couple of days ago on a sim PC that was strayed from simply installing in application standard folders.
