PC Gaming: Optimized - The Ultimate Guide (including NVIDIA/AMD CP + G-Sync/Freesync + HDR Best Settings)

Hey Paolo , if you have free time can you check my recent comment on this post ? I posted it about 4 days ago , Appreciate it

If I'm using a 1080p monitor with DLSS Quality or DLAA in every game, which upscaling preset should I use, L or K?

What do you think about frame generation mode C?

Hello, its me again ^^ I have some issues bro i hope you got an idea: 1) In Nvidia Profile Inspector under "05 - Upscaling and Frame Gen." --> DLSS-RR - Forced Preset Letter i have chosen Preset F; but instead of (Transformer Gen 2) its "Preset F (unused)". Of Course i updated latest dlss files with nvidiagloom. 2) I always have to change some settings in NVIDIA Profile Inspector because they somehow reset after some time has passed: - rBar settings always are "disabled" after some time although i enabled it - "DLSS-FG - Scene Auto Change Detection" always changes back to default although I disabled it 3) In NVIDIA Profile Inspector unter "07 - System, Memory and Compute" should i turn Shader Cache - Pre-compile Shader Options to Disabled or another Option? Thank you very much for helping clueless guys like me out! I appreciate it.

Hi Paolo hope you're doing well , I don't have hdr monitor , it's asus tuf vg249q3a it doesn't support hdr but it's Gsync Compatible , is there specific color settings I should do to it ? since your guide is focusing on 4k hdr monitors + should I also set dlss quality to performance and enable fg like you said because my monitor resolution is 1080p not 4k , thanks again for your efforts

I still have Kizzimo power plan but I see you now recommend Khorvie again do I stay on Kizzimo or switch back to Khorvie?

Should precompile still be set to Medium?

Hey I noticed when using frame gen it doesn't work is it due to dlss glom causing issues?

Hi Paolo. If I have Win 25H2, can I still use the Kizzimo power plan? And I also want to ask why I don't have Win 26H2 yet, when will I have an update available? Now I have Win 11 Pro and I haven't been offered any update to 26H2 yet. And is it worth switching to 26H2??? Thanks

Buongiorno Paolo, ti chiedo un consiglio: di recente tramite DDU ho disinstallato dal mio portatile sia i driver Intel che Nvidia, rifatto un'installazione pulita di entrambi i driver aggiornati. In particolare con Nvidia ho utilizzato, sempre tramite una tua guida, NVCleanstall. Per aggiornare i driver Nvidia ora cosa mi consigli di fare? Pulizia di nuovo o posso evitare ed installarli sempre tramite NVCleanstall? Grazie in anticipo!

UPDATE - 2026/09/24 Reverted to "Khorvie's" as the suggested custom power plan as Windows 11 26H2 doesn't accept "Kizzimo" or other recent custom PP anymore

The power plan cannot be imported on the newly installed 25H2.

Good morning, hope you're doing well! Quick question: I just picked up a Samsung S95H (2026). Will the RTX HDR edits from this guide work well for it? Also, I'm running two secondary monitors—a Samsung G8 and an Asus Gen 3 OLED (2026). How do I handle per-screen max nits configuration since each display has a different peak brightness? Thanks in advance!

Hello, if the “DLSS-RR - Forced Preset Letter” field shows “Preset F (unused)” instead of “Preset F (Transformer Gen 2)” as shown in your screenshot, will it still work correctly, or did I do something wrong?

In NVIDIA Profile Inspector, under DLSS-RR – Forced Preset Letter, I only have Preset F (unused). However, in your screenshot, it shows Preset F (Transformer Gen 2). I’m using an RTX 3080 Ti with an updated version of DLSS via nvidiaDlssGloM, as well as the latest version of NVIDIA Profile Inspector.

Hey Paolo. Under the section "For RTX 4000/5000 Series and newer" it is likely that the guide needs to be updated to use Ray Reconstruction Model F - Transformer 2 that just released as of this week over the Model E - Transformer 1 that was previously recommended. I have not done any testing on Model F but Hardware Unboxed has put out a video on it and gave a pretty straightforward recommendation to use the newer Model F in all cases. Just wanted to point it out for your guide.

Hey Paolo, Could you create a guide on how you configured OBS with NVIDIA? For recording and possibly also with the Replay Buffer feature. That would bei great ❤️

Should i use the Studio drivers or game ready drivers? I sometimes feel a studio driver performs better, and sometimes Game-Ready Driver performs better, which one should i stick to? i Use the 591.44 studio right now, which driver and it's version should i install and stick to? I just can't decide, an external suggestion (I mean yours) would help to stick to one. Have an Laptop RTX 5060

Same bug with not being able to change the hex values for rbar size limit back to how they were for my graphics card and I'm too lazy to enter everything I changed on profile inspector back again. Heard using revamped seems to work. Any downsides to using it as a workaround for now ?

" after re-testing 40+ custom power plans (for days)" -- Resulting in "latency Master" aka Kizzimo plan. Now i'd like to make you an offer you can't refuse : I will provide you with a powerplan that is better and even lower in latency. If i turn out to be correct you gift me one guide from the single purchasable guides section (of my liking) and in return you will improve your guide with a better powerplan. If i turn out to be incorrect i will gift 2x a monthly membership to randomly selected free members. DM me on here or add tlgnetherworld on discord if interested , wouldnt surprise me if you have "heard" about this powerplan already but couldnt find it anywhere anymore

Hi Paolo I've been using the khorvie power plan but it's messing with my atmos sound output. It keeps reverting it to multichannel and often I lose sound altogether. Is there a way of changing the power plan setting so as not to cause this?

Hi Paolo. Since the new update, when I set the rbar settings it keep show me 1GB even if I set 40000000 for the 16gb value https://imgur.com/a/5HpmHAM

Hi, so i use the Kizzimo power plan but it makes a lot stutter on valorant, when i changed to endgame again it fixes, it seems not stable on my pc (Ryzen 5 5600) or Valorant, and the max fps higher on Endgame powerplan than Kizzimo, so i just use the endgame powerplan right now

Ok, just a short question. Your previous suggestion regarding Power Plan was Khorvie => now it's Kizzimo - is it any better than Bitsum or Khorvie? These two are also quite respectable Thank you!

I followed this to a T and am now getting the 0x1A MEMORY MANAGEMENT black screen of death so I gotta restore point. I might just retry it all without Chris Titus tool and ParkMobile.

UPDATE - 2026/07/29 As promised, here's my updated and completely overhauled Overall Settings Chart for LG OLEDs 2026+ to align both with the many changes needed for newer models but also with a new, more complete and easier to read presentation. Hope you like it ;) Click -> https://raw.githubusercontent.com/P40L0X/P40L0-Image-Archive/main/Patreon/LG_OLEDs_2026+_Chart_Modern_P40L0_v2.png

UPDATE 2025/07/27 If you're gaming on a Desktop PC, use the "Kizzimo's Extreme Low Latency" Custom Power Plan (in the classic Windows 11 Control Panel): after re-testing 40+ custom power plans (for days) against latest stock Windows 11 (25H2) ones (incl. High Performance and Ultimate Performance), "Kizzimo's Extreme Low Latency" now provided the highest Average FPS, highest 1% Low FPS, smoothest frametimes, lowest input latency and under control temps at the same time for most games I've tested. The only disadvantage is that it will draw more power. You can even test/keep it on laptops but only when plugged to AC and only if the laptop won't overheat while using it. You can download "Kizzimo's Extreme Low Latency" power plan from the post (installation instructions included)

Hi P40L0! sorry to bother byut i have a question. In the guide you said to set in the game "uncapped fps" while set Riva to secified caps based on Hz of our monitor. But for the games that have only standard caps of frames and where you can't uncap it so we can only use their standardised caps (like 30/60/120 fps), should we set Riva based on this caps? (example: setting the game to 120 and for this set Riva to 116). Thank you for your future answer :D.

Hi P40L0, there's something strange happening here, when I use the new Endgame Performance power plan, my 5800x3d do not go up to 4450MHz, it keeps it at 3400MHz maximum. The old Khorvie's power plan was working normally.

UPDATE 2025/07/25 OP updated replacing previous video guide and recommendations for AMD GPU Control Panel with this new one: https://youtu.be/r87cOPfXIyA

Hi P40L0! Sorry to bother, but exploring the wey i found 2 "optimization fixes" that i did'nt found in your guide, i will post them here so you can read abouth them, and maybe if you think are good could pput in the guide! 1)(ony for whom have Windows pro edition) Search tab > write "edit group policy" > Administrative template > Windows components > App privacy > double click on "let windows apps run in the background" > Click on "enabled", then click on the tab on the right of "default on all apps" and click on "force deny" > click on Apply, then OK; 2) Search tab > write "services" > find "SysMain" and double click it > In the tab click "disable", then stop the services if it's running > apply & ok; Did you know them? What do you think? Hope in being of help, bye!

UPDATE - 20/07/2026 - Updated Chris Titus Tool settings and suggestions based on its latest version.

Endgame Power plan reverts to balance in Xbox mode. Can you check if its same for you?

Do we still use preset L for games that have ray tracing without ray reconstruction? Also for a 9800X3D is the power plan you suggest better than using the balanced?

I have a 5070 Ti and play at 1440p. Is it still worth overriding the DLSS preset to L, or is it better to keep it at recommended?

Hello Just a quick question on LG TV as a monitor usage (C3 for example) Why not RGB Full and YCbCr444 - Limited? Isn't Windows natively using RGB full itself? Thank you!

UPDATE 08/07/2026 If you're gaming on a Desktop PC, use the "Endgame Performance" Custom Power Plan (in the classic Windows 11 Control Panel): after re-testing 40+ custom power plans (for days) against latest stock Windows 11 (25H2) ones (incl. High Performance and Ultimate Performance), "Endgame Performance" now provided the highest Average FPS, highest 1% Low FPS, smoothest frametimes, lowest input latency and under control temps at the same time for most games I've tested. The only disadvantage is that it will draw more power. You can even test/keep it on laptops but only when plugged to AC and only if the laptop won't overheat while using it. You can download "Endgame Performance" power plan in the link in the post (installation instructions included)

Only see Frame Rate Limiter V3 and Frame Rate Limiter Background Application in newest Profile Inspector. The other two options are not there 🤔 . Both are turned off. Is this enough with using RTSS's framelimiter set to 138 fps and Nvidia Reflex for my TV ?

Paolo I Need help before when I Player Games like stelar Blade with all your tweaks my frametimes were perfectly flat an my gameplay buttert smooth when with the last re 9 game but now they stutter heavyly and it’s only dlss Games I dont know why I use all your tweaks and there Perfect never had any problems

Hi Paolo , first I wanted yo thank you for your amazing guide it's super helpful and optimized my system and games very well , keep up the great work , secondly I don't have hdr monitor , it's asus tuf vg249q3a it doesn't support hdr but it's Gsync Compatible , is there specific color settings I should do to it ? since your guide is focusing on 4k hdr monitors + should I also set dlss quality to performance and enable fg like you said because my monitor resolution is 1080p not 4k . Thanks again

UPDATE - 29/06/2026 In NVCP/NVPI, set: Max Frame Rate: Off - Then use RTSS to set a Global fps cap following Reflex guidelines, also configured as the new image in the post (both for NVIDIA Profile Inspector and RTSS itself): If you have a 60hz display set it to 59 fps If you have a 75hz display set it to 73 fps If you have a 90hz display set it to 88 fps If you have a 100hz display set it to 97 fps If you have a 120hz display set it to 116 fps If you have a 144hz display set it to 138 fps If you have a 165hz display set it to 157 fps If you have a 175hz display set it to 166 fps If you have a 180hz display set it to 171 fps If you have a 200hz display set it to 189 fps If you have a 240hz display set it to 224 fps If you have a 280hz display set it to 258 fps If you have a 320hz display set it to 292 fps If you have a 360hz display set it to 325 fps If you have a 480hz display set it to 416 fps If you have a 500hz display set it to 431 fps This will ensure to always be within your VRR/G-Sync range in-game without ever activating V-Sync (which otherwise could still work as a fallback to fix tearing but noticeably increasing latency and making frametime consistency worse) Using RTSS (configured as in the new screenshot in the post to use Reflex as fps limiter) instead of "Max Framerate" in NVCP will also ensure the lowest latency possible even for games which don't have native Reflex support/integration. If you want to record with OBS while showing RTSS overlays while setup this way, I suggest "Desktop Capture" set in "DXGI Desktop Duplication" method

UPDATE - 28/06/2026 In NVCP/NVPI, set: Max Frame Rate: Off - Then use RTSS to set a Global fps cap following Reflex guidelines +1fps above them, also configured as the image in the post (both for NVIDIA Profile Inspector and RTSS itself) If you have a 60hz display set it to 59 fps If you have a 120hz display set it to 117 fps If you have a 144hz display set it to 139 fps If you have a 165hz display set it to 158 fps If you have a 180hz display set it to 172 fps If you have a 240hz display set it to 225 fps If you have a 360hz display set it to 326 fps If you have a 480hz display set it to 417 fps This will ensure to always be within your VRR/G-Sync range in-game without ever activating V-Sync (which otherwise could still work as a fallback to fix tearing but increasing latency and making frametime consistency worse) The "+1fps" above the Reflex guidelines for each Refresh Rate ensures you're actually giving priority to the Reflex auto-cap whenever available (e.g. 116fps at 120hz) which will have the lowest latency possible while still correctly capping all other games without Reflex support (e.g. at 117fps at 120hz instead) This method will also immediately make you aware of which game is actually using Reflex (e.g. if you see 116fps) or not (if you see 117fps) Using RTSS (configured in the screenshot in the post) instead of "Max Framerate" in NVCP will also ensure better 1% Lows and flatter Frametimes in all games + will fix recording bugs like black screens in OBS when using "Game Capture" and overlays + will also fix the "fat frametime" graph visual bug in RTSS overlay when using DLSS Frame Generation (with Transformer Model) as well! Directly in RTSS you can also add games as exceptions to the Global profile with different fps caps if needed using the "Add" green button (e.g. Halo Infinite or Death Stranding: Director's Cut which will require a 120fps cap or multiples of 30 to work without judders) and those will work seamlessly with the Global profile set for all other games

Hi there is a new DLSS - NR option turning up in the new version of the NVPI. Any changes to be done in that?

Re-tweaked "Win32PrioritySeparation you got 2A in your post i must to change to 28?

Paolo quick question I bought an oled rig strix oled 4 monitor is it better for me to use no scaling + display rather then your suggestion my monitor has 0.03 ms what’s better

Hi Paolo. I know this question was raised before but I can't find it. The processor scheduling is adjusted for Background services instead of Programs. Is tha correct? Cheers

UPDATE - 2026/04/06 - Win32PrioritySeparation is now suggested again at 2a (Hexadecimal) or 42 (Decimal) This will configure the CPU and the system to have a "Short, Fixed Boost + Boost Priority for the foreground application", which will translate in having noticeably lower input lag, higher 1% Lows and smoother/more consistent Frametimes for games (which will always be foreground applications)

hey mang! i love your guide and thank you so much for providing it. i have a question and not sure if you'd be able to answer it... i use all of your nvidia profile inspector settings and when i play arc raiders, my game crashes after about 10-15 minutes and it's always the same error: LoginId:91b18d0847e6e5bc0c6bbea1433cd78e EpicAccountId:50b7db44015e47118129ed091bd944da CurrentQueue.Fence.D3DFence->GetCompletedValue() failed at .\Runtime/D3D12RHI/Private/D3D12Submission.cpp:994 with error DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED with Reason: DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_RESET GPU Crash: EnqueueCopy AccessModePass[Graphics] Streamline Streamline BufferPoolCopyOps TexturePoolCopyOps ClearGPUMessageBuffer VirtualTextureClear UpdateDistanceFieldObjectBuffers UpdateDistanceFieldAtlas UpdateGlobalDistanceField Scene EnqueueCopy AccessModePass[ PioneerGame PioneerGame runtime once it crashes that one time, it won't do it again that same play session (another 2 hours or so). it's driving me bananas and wasn't sure if you knew it was related to a specific setting?

Hey, thanks for the guide! I’ve been using it for months now every time I reinstall Windows. Also, the Chris Titus Utility got an update—could you check it out and maybe update the guide? Thanks!

Hi! I applied most of this and noticed my games are indeed running and looking a lot better! Thanks a ton for making this available! However, when I'm NOT gaming, I've noticed that FireFox seems to be performing more sluggishly. Particularly, if I'm watching a YT video on my primary monitor and browsing on my second monitor, the framerate of the video looks much choppier until I make focus on the window again. Do you have any idea if any of these steps would have caused this?

This guide has made my games not only look better, but run so smooth now. I had to get a displayport 1.2 cable for my monitor for it all to work the best. I do have a question though. Should you disable Low Latency Mode (to Off) if the game has nVidia Reflex or is it okay to keep it On for those games? Thank you for the guide!

Hello, can we ever expect one day a guide for optimizing windows for handhelds like MSI claw that run integrated intel graphic cards?

In Settings > Display > HDR there is no SDR content brightness anymore. I only have HDR content brightness. What do I set it to?

UPDATE - 2026/04/06 Updated both the PC Optimization Guide and nvidiaDlssGlom guide. Changelog: - Updated NVIDIA Profile Inspector screenshots and suggestions to reflect the new major version and also the new NVIDIA features introduced with Driver 595.97 and latest NVIDIA App (e.g. DLSS Frame Generation Preset B, Auto Shader Compilation) - Updated nvidiaDlssGlom screenshot to reflect the OTA availability of NVIDIA DLSS 310.6.0 + Streamline 2.11 .dlls, which are necessary for the new features above to work - Split and updated screenshots/suggestions for RTX 2000/3000 Series and RTX 4000/5000 Series and newer - DLSS MFG above 2x could introduce noticeable artifacts and higher input latency, so I specified a note in the PC Optimization guide to revert to 2x or turn it Off if those are too noticeable for you Enjoy ;) -P

Been a big fan of your guides for years now. Started with using them to adjust settings for my LG TVs and now I’m following it for every game I play that you post. Slightly PC related: do you have any plans on doing an optimized guide for the ROG Xbox Ally X? I’d find it super useful if you decide to. Either way, thanks for all your work!

Can please you share the best settings you mentioned for AdGuard?

any changes to tweaks with Chris Titus Windows Utility ? after the newest update some options are not available and there are new ones and the tweak list order have been changed as well so its hard to follow the current screenshots

Paolo can you do a guide for netting tweaking like transmit buffer and offloading settings would appreciate that

UPDATE - 2026/03/01 Max Frame Rate: Manually set it based on your current Refresh Rate (following Reflex guidelines +1fps above them) If you have a 60hz display set it to 59 fps If you have a 120hz display set it to 117 fps If you have a 144hz display set it to 139 fps If you have a 165hz display set it to 158 fps If you have a 180hz display set it to 172 fps If you have a 240hz display set it to 225 fps If you have a 360hz display set it to 326 fps If you have a 480hz display set it to 417 fps This will ensure to always be within your VRR/G-Sync range in-game without ever activating V-Sync (which otherwise could still work as a fallback to fix tearing but increasing latency and making frametime consistency worse). The "+1fps" above the Reflex guidelines for each Refresh Rate ensures you're actually giving priority to the Reflex auto-cap whenever available (e.g. 116fps at 120hz) which will have the lowest latency possible while still correctly capping all other games without Reflex support (e.g. at 117fps at 120hz instead) This method will also immediately make you aware of which game is actually using Reflex (e.g. if you see 116fps) or not (if you see 117fps)

recently there have been a lot of discussion about Preset L on Performance mode might be better than Preset M on the same mode, any thoughts?

Hi there, I may be stupid, but in the section "Set a fixed Virtual Memory size", which drive do I select? My OS drive is not the drive where I install my games.

Hi Paolo, if I wanted to turn off gsync because of VRR flicker, what settings should I use in nvidia control panal and in game to have a smooth frame rate with no screen tearing?

Ciao Paolo, dopo aver applicato tutti i settaggi ed impostato l'HDR ho notato che l'LG C5 navigando in Brave cambia in continuazione la luminosità delle pagine. Cosa può essere? Ho un pc con RTX 3070. Questo è il video: https://youtu.be/uscml3KCCt8 Grazie in anticipo!

UPDATE 2026/01/24 If Battlefield 6 Anti-Cheat (EA Javelin) or other Anti-Cheat software auto-close your games with a warning about expired or not updated Secure Boot certificates, follow this guide on How to manually and safely download and update Secure Boot certificates for your PC: https://www.elevenforum.com/t/secure-boot-update-howto.41997/

Awesome guide! I have one problem (maybe addressed in recent updates... will check it out) that I'm hoping you'll have an answer for and could help others with similar issues. --- Occasionally, my display will freeze, and my entire monitor goes white/grey. It will hang like that for a couple of seconds (maybe 10-15s), then go black, maybe white/grey once more, then my display entirely loses signal (e.g., the "searching for signal" message will be displayed in my monitors UI). Eventually, the display and all windows comes back, though my background/wallpaper is now gone, just solid black. If I was playing a game, it will have crashed, but most applications are still running. Also, some overlays will remain broken through restart. For example, I use fancy zones in powertoys for window tiling. After such an event, I can still actually tile windows, but when hitting the hot key which normally displays the zone overtop of existing windows, nothing is displayed. I believe that the issue comes down to competing overlays, and have also noticed it almost always occurs when I open claude desktop app. I also notice it occurs more frequently when my nvidia driver is out of date. Any ideas? Thanks, and again, awesome content!!

i see you went out of your way to block your ip address but in the section about nagles algorithm your ipv4 address is visible under dhcpipaddress, stay safe and thank you for your guides!

UPDATE 2026/01/15 - Guide updated including DLSS 4.5 and NVPI changes

Hello, please advise, with the release of dlss4.5 on rtx 4080, do I need to change any settings in dlssGlom and nvidia profile inspector? Also, do I need to use dlssGlom in addition to Nvidia Profile Inspector? And if I need to use dlssGlom, do I need to replace the dlss files with the new 5.0 versions (3 files) before clicking update, and then click update?

UPDATE 2025/01/07 - NVIDIA officially released DLSS 4.5: no changes are needed to the guide or NVPI, but there are important new things to know you can read here: https://www.resetera.com/threads/pc-gaming-optimized-the-ultimate-guide-including-nvidia-amd-cp-g-sync-freesync-hdr-best-settings.757693/post-149714818

UPDATE 2025/12/28: Disable Device encryption (BitLocker): by default Windows 11 often encrypts the entire system drive automatically on new installations which is known to cause noticeable disk slowdowns, especially with big file transfers and NVMe streaming during gaming. Even worse, it sometimes messed up with Windows Updates causing random BSODs, often unfixable if not with a clean install. To avoid all of that you can disable it from Settings -> Privacy & security -> Device encryption

UPDATE 2025/12/23: - Min & Max custom Windows Virtual Memory size is now recommended to: 32768 MB (32GB) This will guarantee the correct functioning of the OS (including saving crash dumps correctly) and games which may still need to access virtual memory without the overhead of Windows constantly changing it dynamically during gaming itself, so making performance more consistent. 32GB will also ensure maximum stability even with most heavy games (e.g. MS Flight Simulator 2024) and/or heavy multitasking (OBS recordings, Video Rendering, browsing with many tabs open etc.)

UPDATE 2025/12/22 - Disable Memory integrity: from Windows Defender -> Device Security -> Core Isolation section. I waited a bit to recommend this but after testing over 50 games between this extra security feature On (Default) vs Off, disabling it provided from 5% up to 20% performance improvement, especially for 1% Low Fps more than Avg Fps, which is just a too big gain to ignore for additional security which you may never actually need outside of enterprise environment. All the other Windows Defender features coupled with a browser extension like AdGuard (with security filters enabled along with adblocking and privacy ones) is more than enough to stay protected in a home/gaming environment while still leveraging the performance benefits above. Don't forget to click on "Dismiss" the security warning in order to avoid being nagged about it after reboot

UPDATE 2025/12/07 (NVIDIA Control Panel) Shader Cache: 10GB Minimum (If you have 1 TB+ storage, try 100GB) 10GB is the new default with most recent NVIDIA drivers and the new recommended minimum Shader Cache size to set for modern games...that said, if you have enough storage space (1 TB+) and/or alternate playing many different games in parallel (so not playing only one at a time), you can try setting Shader Cache to 100GB. This doesn't mean 100GB of disk will be "wasted", but only that you can collect shader cache from many different games up to 100GB before the drivers will start deleting older cache, so you will avoid shader re-compilation stutters even in that extreme scenario. In all cases, when you install new NVIDIA drivers all shaders' cache will be deleted automatically and you will start "fresh" again

Sir, I just reconfigured my 5090 and...it's simply magic. I didn't even make registry changes or anything like that, and in Alan Awake 2, for example, I went from getting around 120 FPS in 4K with temperatures reaching almost 80°C, to now, with BDO "fishing" and AA2 running simultaneously, at a constant 170 FPS in 4K as well, and...incredible...it never even reached 50°C, both times with the game on ultra settings. I found it incredible, truly... Congratulations, sir. Thanks for the great work. P.S. I created a Patreon account with another account to lend a hand, because it seems like the bare minimum I could do. ^^

Hi Paolo. I have a question about the NVPI RTX HDR settings. Is the peak brightness value in the image set to 1000 nits? I am using an LG C1 and am wondering if that value should be set to a specfic 800 nit value for that TV or if your recommended 0x000003E8 value will work for me anyway?

UPDATE 2025/11/30 NVCP Anti-Aliasing Gamma Correction is now recommended to: On This is a legacy option for older games like Half-Life 2 which can leverage it, but will just be ignored for most modern games. You can keep it On without negative effects

Paolo if I don’t have problems with stutters und cpu bound games can is use ultra low latency I never really had any problems before and is the input better with it then just ON ?

The parkcontrol stays the same even with Khorvie?

UPDATE 2025/11/10 If you're gaming on a Desktop PC, use the "Khorvie's" Custom Power Plan (in the classic Windows 11 Control Panel): After re-testing 20+ custom power plans (for days) against latest stock Windows 11 (25H2) ones (incl. High Performance and Ultimate Performance), "Khorvie's PowerPlan" now provided the highest Average FPS, highest 1% Low FPS, smoothest frametimes, lowest input latency and under control temps at the same time for most games I've tested. The only disadvantage is that it will draw more power. You can even test/keep it on laptops but only when plugged to AC and only if the laptop won't overheat while using it. You can download "Khorvie's PowerPlan" from the post (installation instructions included)

UPDATE 2025/11/09 If you're gaming on a Desktop PC, use the "High Performance" power plan (in the classic Windows 11 Control Panel) This will give you a bit more performance and lower latency than the "Balanced power plan + Best Performance power mode" combo at the expense of a bit higher power consumption, but that's not a problem for Desktop PC gaming. I also found that since Windows 11 25H2 the "High Performance" power plan actually gave me better results than both the hidden "Ultimate Performance" power plan or any other custom plans I tried like the former "FramesyncLabs BOOST" which I also previously recommended to import, which from now on it's not necessary anymore

UPDATE 2026/11/03: Updated Chris Titus Utilities Tweaks' Recommendations and also put them before applying O&O ShutUp 10 ones, which should immediately reflect the changes done with Chris Titus first and then you can add more on top in O&O (or even Import my already available in my separate Win 11 Privacy guide here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/66031257 )

Hey P40L0, any chance you will be updating the Chris Titus Winutil image for this guide? There have been quite a few changes,such as different settings to toggle. Thanks

Are you still using ISLC from this Guide? https://www.patreon.com/posts/72575936?collection=673639

Hi P4OLO, I've been using these settings for a while, and they've been great. However, after updating my PC yesterday to the 2025-09 Cumulative Update Preview for Windows 11 Version 24H2 (KB5065789), my gaming performance dropped from a steady 60 FPS to 30-40 FPS, particularly in AC Shadows. Have you updated your PC yet, and could you check if any settings in this guide might be causing the issue with the new update? My system specs are a Ryzen 7 5800X3D and an RTX 4090.

Hey Paolo love your guides since day one. Could you make a network adapter settings guide to likely we should disable checksum offloading etc. ?

Hey P40L0! Can this guide be used for Windows 10 too? I still use them (and will do so for a long time :P), so it made me wonder if it's compatible and/or will do any good....

What do you think of Win11Debloat by Raphire on Github? (idk if links are allowed in comments) I have personally used it multiple times and it is extremely fast and highly customizable. It runs via a PowerShell script, with every function being thoroughly detailed on Github. Very curious to hear your thoughts on it, and thanks for making such great content!

Hello, please tell me why the image may flicker slightly from time to time, as if it were flashing with a slight gray film. I don't know how to explain it, it just flickers... Maybe it's because of gsync, or some other setting... I configured it according to this guide. Oled65c4, rtx4080.... And another question for oled65c4 rtx hdr: should I set it to 7D, 2C, 3E8, 4B, or other values....

hey did nvidia cp get updated or something as i only get off or ultra option and no on?

Great Guide! I notice Windows Memory compression isn't mentioned. It's on by default in Windows, and I hear a lot of advice to turn it off and claims that doing so will reduce stuttering in games. Any thoughts?

Hi P40L0, just wanted to ask. I set up everything perfectly in RTX HDR settings. But when it comes to settings in games like brigthness, contrast and all the others. Does RTX HDR override the game's settings or do they stack together? I usually only use RENODX when I need to fix the game's poorly implemented HDR.

Have you ever compared latency and fps between vanilla Windows pro vs Windows LTSC with all your tweaks? I have windows 11 ltsc and will be following your guide tomorrow along with your LG G4 settings can't wait m right now I was just rubbing Windows 11 LTSC and Chris Titus tweaks so not sure how much more I can expect from my 12900k and RTX 5090.

I have a 12900k does parking cores really help much? If you had 1 tweak on here that helps the most what would you say it is RTX 5090 12900k. I also switched to Chris Titus poseri plan is this the best?

Sorry I meant 45

So your suggesting warm 25 now for PC HDR gaming is that correct?

Hi, I followed your RTX HDR guide, but I have an issue as you can see here: https://i.imgur.com/QJ7UVbt.png No options appear for selecting contrast, middle grey, Peak Brightness, and Saturation! How can I fix this? I'm using the latest nvidia profile inspector. I also have an OLED C2.

UPDATE 2025/08/27 - nvidiaDlssGlom is now recommended to keep all DLSS files updated globally (without the need to manually swap games' files anymore) - NVIDIA Profile Inispector DLSS Override is no longer necessary when doing so

Hey Paolo, Which Clipping Software do you recommend? I have a NVidia GPU. So Shadowplay or OBS or Something else?

Hi Paolo, I have 119.88 hz and 120 hz in the display settings. When I select 120 hz from the Nvidia control panel, it is 119.88 hz, but there is also a 120 hz option in Windows. Which one is better to choose?

UPDATE 2025/08/16 - Fixed "SystemResponsiveness" reg tweak as it was erroneously recommended to 10 in Hexadecimal value while the correct tweak is in Decimal value

something broke and my right mouse click on any icon results in infinite spinning wheel, do you know what this is?

Is the power & battery settings and intel cpu settings applicable on pc? Or laptop only?

UPDATE #2 - 2025/08/10 - Suggested Pagefile fixed value is now 16384 (16GB): this will ensure that even the most memory-demanding games (Flight Simulator 2024, Star Citizen etc.) will find enough Pagefile size as an extra resort without causing microstutters due to Windows constantly changing it and avoiding "out-of-memory" errors for PCs with lower RAM, all without wasting too much SSD space for reserving it.

UPDATE 2025/08/10 - Updated recommended Chris Titus Tweaks to latest utility version

Paolo should I try perfomant processors instead of prefer performant in park control wouldn’t that be better ?

UPDATE 2025/07/15 IMPORTANT: rBAR - Size Limit should be at the same amount of your actual VRAM for best efficiency (e.g. less microstutters) See the table below to identify the correct hex value to copy and use there based on your VRAM: 0x0000000100000000 (for 4 GB) 0x0000000180000000 (for 6 GB) 0x0000000200000000 (for 8 GB) 0x0000000280000000 (for 10 GB) 0x0000000300000000 (for 12 GB) 0x0000000400000000 (for 16 GB) 0x0000000600000000 (for 24 GB) 0x0000000800000000 (for 32 GB) After testing 25+ games, I measured an FPS boost of around 5% both for Average FPS and 1% Lows when enabled as above. If a game is not working correctly after the change (e.g. Ratchet & Clank Rift Apart crashing the Desktop as soon as you quit it or FFVII Remake/Rebirth stuttering) you can disable ReBAR just for those games with NVIDIA Profile Inspector as an exception

UPDATE 2025/07/14 Shader Cache: 10GB Minimum (If you have 1 TB+ storage, try 100GB) 10GB will provide the same performance of "Default" setting (which will be equal to 4GB) for 90% of games...but for the heaviest ones out there (e.g. Star Citizen, Flight Simulator) it will noticeably reduce random shader compilation stutters. That said, if you have enough storage space (1 TB+) and/or alternate playing many different games in parallel (so not playing only one at a time), you can try setting Shader Cache to 100GB. This doesn't mean 100GB of disk will be "wasted", but only that you can collect shader cache from many different games up to 100GB before the drivers will start deleting older cache, so you will avoid shader re-compilation stutters even in that extreme scenario. In all cases, when you install new NVIDIA drivers all shaders' cache will be deleted automatically and you will start "fresh" again

Paolo can you try to test out without hags I get lesser stutters and better latency with it off and I read setting cssr on real time does help what do you think about it and thank you for all your hard work

UPDATE 2025/07/02: Updated this reg tweak to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Multimedia\SystemProfile\Tasks\Games Affinity -> 0 As this means Windows will leverage all CPU Cores/Threads for games, which is what you want with single-CCD CPUs (like 7800X3D/9800X3D) while for multi-CCDs CPUs (like 7950X3D/9950X3D) you can use ParkControl to prioritize Performance Cores over E-cores.

UPDATE - 2025/07/01 Expanded manual FPS caps for G-Sync in NVCP: Max Frame Rate: Manually set it based on your current Refresh Rate (following Reflex guidelines) If you have a 60hz display set it to 59 fps If you have a 120hz display set it to 116 fps If you have a 144hz display set it to 138 fps If you have a 165hz display set it to 157 fps If you have a 180hz display set it to 171 fps If you have a 240hz display set it to 224 fps If you have a 360hz display set it to 324 fps If you have a 480hz display set it to 416 fps This will ensure to always be within your VRR/G-Sync range in-game without ever activating V-Sync (which otherwise could still work as a fallback to fix tearing but increasing latency and making frametime consistency worse)

UPDATE - 2025/06/22 Re-tweaked "Win32PrioritySeparation" Previously it was set to "2A" (Hexadecimal) which may had a very slight advantage in input lag but was more prone to frametime spikes when background processes accumulated (e.g. Windows Update, Windows indexing, Windows Defender etc.). The new "28" (Hexadecimal) doesn't have the High Foreground Boost so this won't happen and frametimes will be more consistent while keeping input lag lower than default.

Paolo can you do a guide for a clean NVIDIA driver install I think this would improve performance too

Should MPO not be disabled along with fullscreen screen optimizations, as having it enabled when MPO is disabled can cause issues? MPO enabled can cause stuttering, etc.

The latest version of NVInspector has quite significantly changed the location of some settings. Might be worth revisiting recommendations there.

UPDATE #3 - 2025/06/10 - Added a note to disable Dolby Vision in favor of HDR (if you find it automatically enabled system wide after latest Windows 11 updates) - Added the suggestion to disable ACM (Automatic Color Management)

UPDATE #2 - 2025/06/10 - Clarified/expanded Win11 CPU Throttling tweak

UPDATE 2025/06/10 Added 7 new Windows 11 tweaks to: - Disable Power Throttling - Disable Network Throttling - Prioritize Gaming tasks - Increase Windows responsiveness - Reduce network lag and spikes for online gaming - Improve network bandwidth - Optimize Windows virtual memory usage Always do a backup of your default settings before applying the changes (e.g. creating a Windows 11 System Restore point) More info in the article itself. Enjoy! ;) -P

Paolo can you explain why you choose texture filtering quality instead of high quality shouldn’t it be better ?

UPDATE 2025/05/29 Added the following new Win11 tweak: -DWM MPO Fix: if you use Windows 11 24H2 or newer, I highly recommend applying this registry tweak to fix occasional rendering issues especially when Alt+Tabbing programs, particularly Chromium based browser (like Edge) which can cause part of the tabbed programs to remain "stuck" on screen switching to another one. The "OverlayMinFPS=0" parameter means that Windows will always try to use hardware composition whenever available which can also lead to smoother and more consistent animations when using Windows in general.

UPDATE 2025/05/22 For 2023-2025+ LG OLEDs: Changed recommended Color Temp from W50 to W45: to remove a slight yellow tint on whites (probably introduced after last few FW updates) while still remaining color accurate and within the D65 standard (used by all movies and games as well) For people preferring a colder temp (for example if they watch TV in a bright room most of the time) I added W25 as a personal preference option. I don't recommend ever going colder than that or you will drift away too much from color accuracy and things will just become too bluish

absolute insane guide, i recommend this one too any LG OLED TV owners.

Where can I find Exclusive Mode, I can't find it? Output is set to dolby atmos via hdmi

Paolo can you make a guide for the best process lasso settings many people recommend this Programm ?

UPDATE 2025/04/17: - Added latest Chris Titus Utility tweaks: https://i.imgur.com/e5UT48r.png

UPDATE 2025/04/16 Updated classic NVCP settings: - Low Latency Mode: On (instead of Ultra) This will noticeably reduce input latency without being too heavy on the CPU like the "Ultra" setting (which can cause frametime spikes/stutters in CPU-bound games) That said, contrary to the "Ultra" and NVIDA Reflex, the "On" setting doesn't include an auto-fps limiter so you have to set it manually for your display through the separate/dedicated option in NVCP for the best smoothness and responsiveness. - Max Frame Rate: Manually set it based on your current Refresh Rate (following Reflex guidelines) If you have a 60hz display set it to 59 fps If you have a 120hz display set it to 116 fps If you have a 144hz display set it to 138 fps If you have a 165hz display set it to 157 fps If you have a 240hz or 244hz display set it to 225 fps or 227 fps respectively This will ensure to always be within you VRR/G-Sync range without ever activating V-Sync (which otherwise could still work as a fallback to fix tearing but increasing latency and making frametime consistency worse)

Hey P40L0 The MAster of tuning :), What do you think of RTX Dynamic Vibrance in games together with RTX HDR? Thanks in advance

Here's a handy little tool for auto enabling HDR when a game launches and disabling when it closes https://github.com/Codectory/AutoActions Works well 👍

UPDATE 2025/13/04 - ParkControl usage and settings are now suggested [FOR INTEL CPUs ONLY]: this because AMD works much better and/or actually need default Core Parking and Frequency Scaling to work at best, especially on new X3D chips

UPDATE 2025/03/31 Added the following suggestion in NVIDIA settings: - Disable Ansel (via NVPI): to remove added stutters when using VRR/G-Sync but also improve input latency and frame pacing for everybody. Ansel is an NVIDIA driver feature to capture 360° screenshots in-game which basically no one is using and can ruin frame pacing, especially when using VRR

UPDATE 2025/03/30: - Added "Win32PrioritySeparation" tweak to further lower input lag, improve 1% Lows and make Frametimes smoother/more consistent for applications in the foreground (e.g. games). You can find it at the end of the Windows section

UPDATE 2025/03/29: Added the new custom FrameSync Boost Power Plan: if you want to squeeze every bit of performance and latency from your system without losing normal idle behavior. Just beware that temps and power consumption may slightly increase when using it.

Yeah some reason the profile inspector keeps crashing when trying to chnage private flag setting? Is this confirmed to be the new driver or could it be the new profile inspector or something else? As I kinda need the new driver as it's optimized for AC Shadows.

UPDATE 2025/03/23: Starting with DLSS4 Frame Generation (using Transformer Model) and NVIDIA Profile Inspector v2.4.0.19 I also recommend setting the new "DLSS-FG - Private Flags" option (in 8 - Extra section) to "Disable Scene Change Detection" This will fix an otherwise annoying recurrent "hitch" when moving the camera in-game along with inconsistent framerate/frametime going from static to moving scenes and vice versa + reduce CPU usage (and temps) as well.

UPDATE 2025/03/21: - Guide updated following the new NVIDIA Profile Inspector v2.4.0.19 changes - If you had the "DLSS-FG - Forced Preset Letter" flag of previous version set to "Always use latest" -> that was wrong as the author of NVPI misnamed it for another setting which is now correctly called "DLSS-FG - Private Flags" (under section "8 - Extra"), so go there and revert it to default (0x00000000)

Can you take a pass over ReBar settings with the latest NVPI? There are new settings regarding Intel CPU exclusions, and I've read that the rBAR - Options setting may be deprecated. Looking for the most stable options for a global profile.

Wondering if I’m doing something wrong. Using a G3 OLED. Low latency set to ultra, gsync compatible on, and vsync on in nvidia control panel and off in games. I have RTSS running to monitor my fps and in Doom Eternal I’m locked at 120 fps with inconsistent frame timing(9-16ms). If I turn low latency mode off and set my max frame rate to 117, it runs at a solid 117 and consistent frame time(8.5ms) Might I have something wrong? Update: This seems to only be an issue with Doom Eternal on game pass. Tested with other games and they’re all running at a locked 116 fps.

Question - Do you recommend to disable Memory Integrity and VMP?

UPDATE 2025/02/13: - NVIDIA Profile Inspector was updated to v2.4.0.11 and now includes all RTX HDR & DLSS options, so there is no need to use the custom XML anymore - DLSS "Always use latest" preset option in Inspector is now available also for Ray Reconstruction and Frame Generation - Images and article updated to reflect that - Latest version of DLSS Swapper is also recommended to make this process easier/faster

Paolo if my game only says borderless should I use borderless or fullscreen ?

Paolo is it Safe to disable secure boot and TPM in bios ? Because in you LTC windows version that is disabled ?

After meticulously following all the steps on my laptop with Windows 11 and RTX 3070 connected to an external Samsung Odyssey 7 monitor via DisplayPort, Lossless Scaling no longer works. When I activate it, the colors become more saturated, but the frame counter shows 60/60. What happened?

Hi, setting YCbCr444 and limited in the nvidia control panel makes my colors look washed out as opposed to RGB + Full. I have 4:4:4 pass through enabled and have set the input icon as PC along with all your other recommended settings. Are these "washed out colors" actually the correct colors?

UPDATE 2025/02/03: This is very interesting for NVIDIA owners (RTX 4000/5000 Series): https://www.reddit.com/r/nvidia/comments/1ig4f7f/the_new_dlss_4_fg_has_better_performance/ Apparently also updating/replacing Streamline .dlls to latest v2.7.2 for each game + adding "sl.pcl.dll" to all of them even if not present will actually leverage the new DLSS4 FG with Tensor Cores (which currently MSI Afterburner + RTSS will wrongly show like a "thick" line with 0.1-0.5ms latency as a Frametime graph + low 1% Lows) The real benefit is a noticeable performance bump (+6% fps average!), less lag, less artifacts and less VRAM usage in all games. Just do a backup before replacing for very few games which don't like the new files (also don't do it for online games with anti-cheat systems)

Paolo can you make a download link for a base profile of the NVIDIA inspector settings you use to import and use ?

UPDATE 2025/01/31: - I now also suggest to add DLSS Ray Reconstruction preset to the "Overrides" section, which can also be set to "0x00FFFFFF" = "Latest" https://i.imgur.com/rlPmifQ.png

Paolo one question should memory allocation policy be set as default or too moderate like panjo on YouTube says do have info on that if that helps ?

(BIG) UPDATE 2025/01/30: After new NVIDIA drivers v572.16 you can now enable "Latest" DLSS4 preset (currently Preset K) via both NVIDIA App and NVIDIA Profile Inspector (v2.4.0.8 and above) by adding this custom XML file in its main folder before launching it: https://mega.nz/file/tscTSDxI#49cIYkevZ53DbLASX9m_DEoHpyF0OMIYVFwMEBpNQ88 Then setting it up like this: https://i.imgur.com/0Ny8UkH.png This will automatically use the "Latest" DLSS preset (with insane quality improvements) without the need to manually change them again in the future! Moreover, additional DLSS Override options were added both in NVIDIA App and Inspector which will force games to use latest version of DLSS .dlls without the need to manually replace it in the future as well! The NVIDIA App has a whitelist of games where you can do this, but via Inspector you can force it globally to all games as follows: https://i.imgur.com/SzujLRL.png Only pay attention to online games with strict anticheat which may wrongly detect this. If you prefer to continue manually swapping DLSS .dlls into game folders (to be sure or to be ahead of the drivers' versions), you can still do that. I actually still recommend swapping .dlls the usual way to be 100% sure versions + presets are applied properly. Latest DLSS4 v310.2.1 .dlls can be downloaded separately from here: https://mega.nz/file/RIk0UTpR#_BklZRMY0KN2hF097B14BBPuSrMkFjiI3P1RYrj3i0Q Enjoy :) -P

UPDATE 2025/01/28: ReBAR Global Settings/Recommendations in NVIDIA Profile Inspector updated. After testing 25+ games with many combinations (ReBAR: Off, ReBAR: Enabled with Options and Size Limit to default, ReBAR Enabled with different rBAR Size limits etc.) those ones was the most consistently performant (both in 1% Lows and Average FPS) across the majority of them and in all cases were better than rBAR: Off. Just beware that some games still need specific rBAR tweaks to work it properly, but are very few: among the 25 I tested I only had issues with Ratchet & Clank Rift Apart (which needed rBAR: Off) and Final Fantasy VII Remake/Rebirth which work more smoothly with rBAR Size Limit set to "Returnal" or 0x000000000C800000. Enjoy :) -P

Paolo one question is it fine to use for rebar globally the final fantasy rebirth settings that you suggested today so far I had no stutter problems and by the way you’re unreal engine ini tweaks are perfect thank you so much for that !!

UPDATE 2025/01/23: Official DLSS4 .dlls are now available (from Cyberpunk 2.21 patch) and you can download them separately from here: https://easyupload.io/m/xgy5cc You can use them to replace old .dlls in all games and benefit from the new "Transformer" AI model (for much improved picture quality and stability even with lower internal resolutions as 4K DLSS Performance) Just remember to also update NVIDIA Profile Inspector with this new custom XML you can download from here: https://mega.nz/file/418EABTZ#wLs34XHVmcVYBcfhvU3wOQbHUKcHkXDBJddudTvzOSQ and then globally set "Preset J (Transformer)" as the new best preset

Fyi after using ur o&o settings right clicking freezes the window so i cant run stuff as admin

Dont think the core parking part apply to the 9800x3d

UPDATE 2024/10/22: - HGIG is now recommended for PC over DTM in HDR for LG 2019-2024 OLEDs

So no process lasso? Also is Throttlestop High Performance Mode the same as Windows Performance where it doesn't allow for idling and keeps it at high power consumption 24/7? Like not having it on wouldn't hurt my undervolt would it?

Hey you mean minimum luminance should be 0 right and not maximum as that's the black section.

UPDATE 09/17/2024: - Chris Titus Winutil settings updated for its latest version

Hi P40L0 1. If I have 12 bpc output color depth available (LG C3) - is it a recommended setting over 10 bpc? Any reason not to set it? Also, would I need to update any settings on my LG C3 (it is now configured based on your other guide)? 2. Have you used the DLSS Updater? I know you recommend using just the latest DLSS file, but it might be very inconvenient and also some games support older DLSS versions only. If not using it, do you manually update each game individually, including after the game update when it might get overridden?

Being on Windows 11 24H2 for a while I decided, for testing purpose, to disable Virtualization entirely from BIOS (so for my AMD 7800X3D I needed to disable both "SVM Mode" and "IOMMU" settings from there) and also made sure that Virtual Machine Platform was unchecked/uninstalled in Windows' additional features, rebooted and...I gained around +5% more FPS on average, even at 4K (20+ games tested) 🫡 That said this will auto-disable Core Isolation / Memory Integrity from Windows Defender and make virtual machines stop working, so I still wouldn't add it in the guide as a main suggestion. Personally I only game (on my gaming desktop at home) and the base Windows Defender + AdGuard extension in Edge (including security filters enabled) + the usual good behaviours are enough protection in my case, like it was even during Windows 10 years (without Core Isolation), but the security and virtualization trade off is up to you to decide.

I connect all my devices so my receiver via HDMI 2.1 and my G3 doesn't let me change the HDMI icon to anything other than the receiver looking icon. Can't pick video game console or PC. Is that a problem?

Update 08/17/2024: - An even better audio tweak has been added (replacing the previous one)

Update 08/15/2024: - Updated Suggested Tweaks for Chris Titus utility - Updated my personal O&O Shutup10++ tweaks' file following the new version of the app - Added "Audio Enhancements" suggestion for improving audio quality and use less CPU at the same time

Hello, can you please tell me when all settings in nvidia inspector and control panel are reset? After installing a new driver? And such a question, if I export settings in the inspector, they are saved only from the inspector, or from the nvidia control panel are also pulled through the inspector? I just want to do something that constantly manually do not re-configure ... And also when exporting in the inspector is available four points, which is the correct choice, I chose the second...? Thanks

Hello I have a question on setting RGB vs YCbCr444 in the Nvidia control panel. Everywhere I see it is said RGB is better since it can use Full instead of Limited. Why do you say to use YCbCR444? Is it only for TVs that are connected to a PC?

Hello, can you advise, I installed Nvidia app, now there is no stream launch on twitch, how to launch stream on twitch now, or is it impossible? In Geforce experience there was a stream on twitch.....

Noticed that i get vrr flicker on desktop is that normal? Goes away when i disable freesync

Hello after using the windows hdr tool am i supposed to use the same nits in games? Like in cyberpunk?

Hello, I am your new subscriber, need your help, would be very grateful. I have a denon 3800 receiver. I have a pc and a zidoo z9x for movies, the receiver itself is connected to a Lg cx 55 TV via hdmi earc. What do I need to set the icon on the hdmi in the TV, I set the icon of the pc, while the media player is off, everything is fine, but as soon as I switch to the media player the icon of the pc disappears and appears as if several sources and with two sources turned on I can not change the icon at all, it is not available in the TV. Due to the fact that the pk icon is there, but it disappears when I turn on the media player, I can't change some of the TV settings for the player, how can I deal with this? Do I need to choose a different icon and will it affect the display of pc and delay, it is important to me for games....

Hi, Just checking if auto HDR in Windows 11 is meant to blow out the whites? When watching a youtube video with white in it, its always 100% brightness on the white parts if that makes sense... its unnatural and very jarring. Anyway to reduce this while keeping autohdr? Thanks!

Paolo do you recommend Auto fan curve or costume fan curve

Paolo one question would you recommend getting the new NVIDIA app and would you recommend auto tuning my gpu with the NVIDIA app ?

Should I turn off core isolation?

Paolo just one more thing how do I start my game in sdr on pc do I have to disable something

What should use for a monitor does 3E8 for RTX HDR work also for monitors ?

Is dlss 3.7 and preset e really experimental? As it doesn't work as well as 3.5 did and preset f in terms of fps and no stutter for a lot of older and some new dlss games after replacing the dlss file. For example, battlefield 2042 a looks and plays great with 3.7 and preset e. But mw2 singleplayer stutters nonstop when shooting, moving,aiming down sights etc with 3.7 and preset e.

reBAR has caused me frame time issues more often than not, so despite the small FPS boost, I leave it off. Same goes for GPU scheduling which has caused me problems in CPU-bound titles.

The default "Balanced" power plan (in old Control Panel) + "Best Performance" power mode (in New Control Panel) when plugged to AC is now recommended. After testing 50+ games and benchmarks, this provided the best and most consistent results compared to old High/Ultimate Performance power plans (with no power modes control) and "Balanced/Balanced" (power plan + power mode) while having the plus of still properly going in Idle states (and lower temps) when needed, without consuming a lot more power and making a lot more noise like the old plans (both for AMD and Intel CPUs). OP also updated.

What about dlss tweaks?

Hey P40L0 the link for the XML to use in NVIDIA Profile Inspector for the Auto HDR doesn't work.

This is a great guide! Is it possible to see some sort of change log as edits that suggest new settings occur? Right now I diff the emails from time to time.

I absolutely love this guide, being a PC graphics nerd is not enough to be able to optimize everything, I read this guide and I feel like a totally noob, congrats, it's amazing 💖. So I use DLSS Swapper (github.com/beeradmoore/dlss-swapper) to improve the DLSS quality updating the libraries for some games but I'd like to know which version to use and why (depending on every game maybe, my graphics card, etc.), do you know where I can find that? Thanks P40L0!

Ciao Paolo stesso problema anche io con LG g3 aspect ratio 16:9 (just scan grigia) impostato tutto come spiegato nella tua guida sia Windows che pannello nvidia e anche io ho le bande nere e risoluzione 4096x2160 come risolvo? Devo usare CRU? Grazie

I’m looking at buying a new laptop. Do you have any recommended specs for utilising all of the features in this guide?

Regarding balanced DLSS for 4K gaming, I had the following inquiry: Why is using it  the case? I was under the impression that anything of a inferior level below quality DLSS would have a significant negative impact on image quality. Alternatively, is the increase in frame rate worthwhile over image quality loss? Any additional information regarding DLSS would be a tremendous help.

I am running a 7800x3d. In ParkControl "Heterogenous Policy" to "Standard Parking" and "Short + Long Threads" are not showing as available settings under Plugged In (AC). Any suggestions?

Do you have any suggestions for the AutoHDR intensity slider?

Ciao Paolo!!! I'm Riccardo and I live near Venice, I would find it very useful you have a changelog of the changes/additions to this guide, what do you think? I have a pc amd7600/4070ti on oled c1

Use atlasos

Would you recommend Bitsum highest performance paired with your park control settings or my manafacturer's gaming performance mode

So is preset c not the way to go anymore and now F is?

Color Depth and all those settings will work for a Samsung s90c?

Thanks for all your guides and insight! I got an LG C3 last month, so I'm finally able to experience HDR gaming. I was very confused by the conflicting things most sources were saying on Reddit and elsewhere, as well as having trouble calibrating various games, but your guides have been a lifesaver. However, I came across this notable issue with Windows 11's tone curves that I haven't seen you address, so hopefully you can check it out if you're unfamiliar, or help explain which is truly best: https://github.com/dylanraga/win11hdr-srgb-to-gamma2.2-icm I applied the fix according to the instructions here, and it does absolutely make an impact in making SDR content appear less gray and washed out, but it does replace the color profile set according to your instructions. Fortunately, Windows 11 allows you to switch between them conveniently, but I don't know how many people are informed about this oversight in Windows 11.

I'm getting some stuttering in games despite my average FPS being fine. These stutters occur when the 99% FPS counter plummets. Temps are fine and there appear to be no bottlenecks, so I don't know what's causing it.

Hi There I had one question In your LG 2023 optimized spreadsheet you mention disabling 4:4:4 pass through, is this still appropriate when using a Gaming PC with a 4090? Also thanks for all the work you put into these guides!

You changed the guide to not remove GaneDVR. I don't know how to reenable it. Can you advise?

I'll soon build my first gaming PC, I already have most of all the parts and I intend to use your settings, it will be a challenge for me as I've never done this before and I don't even have experience with Windows, I've always been a console-only gamer and I've always strived for the best image possible to play and thanks to that I discovered your patreon. I was watching several videos on tiktok about how to configure the PC to have more fps and also overclock to use 100% of the capacity of the computer's parts, but I will blindly trust your suggestions. God help me, I'm just a perfectionist and I want the best possible My PC parts so far are these: rx6700xt 12gb red devil, ryzen 7 5700x, aorus elite b550m motherboard

Does the CX OLED have the 12 bit option under the “PC” resolution tab? I only see the 12 bit option on the native resolution under “Ultra HD, HD, SD” tab.

Hello, when I click on Core Isolation, it says that page doesn't exist. Also, ycbcr444 limited only goes up to 10 bpc for my LG C1.
