[DX11] Help regarding Nvidia Profile Inspector (NPI)

[JHTrucker]

@t2patel - Your are dropping from 72 to 30 because you can't maintain 72 fps at all times.
You now have gsync disabled, so do this:
Set your game to 60hz and vsync 1 for 60 fps.
or leave at 144hz and vsync 3 for 48 fps.

EDIT:
If you really want/need to have 72fps then you can always set NPI 'vsync tear control' to adaptive. Then when your fps drop below 72 the screen will just tear as vsync is then turned off.

After further testing and educated tinkering, the conclusion is that the best setting for best image quality is the combination of "16xS [Combined: 2x2 SS + 4x MS]" + 4x Sparse Grid Supersampling. VERY important, any setting ending with xS has auto LOD adjustment! In other words no need to screw around with the LOD manually and let it be 0. For added clarity you can also use Sharpen 0.5/Ignore film grain 1.0 from NCP.

@JHTRrucker what's your opinion on the setup?

[JHTrucker]

@MrPapaBear - I only use 2xAA with my GTX760 @ 3840x1024 and so best image quality isn't top of my list. You should test for yourself to see if it looks better or not.

Around a year ago i did post a comparison with 4x & 16s but that was for fps.
Basically 4x gave me 24fps but 16s gave me 26fps - same scene for both.
So maybe that's why the fps are higher as black-coffee has stated, LOD auto.

Test what JHTrucker said first and if that doesn't work either for you,
just howl and I'll give you another alternative.

Thanks, I will check and report here shortly

I think both the options are not working in my case...

when I applied 60Hz and vsync1 for 60 fps.. game fps go down to 15-17 and game is not playable

When I applied 144 hz and vsync 3 fro 48 fps..game fps go down to 20-25..

Okay mate, still with G-Sync DISABLED and NO frame limiting in NCP,
set the following in config.cfg file,

Code: Select all

r_mode_refresh "0"
r_vsync "0"
t_averaging_window_length "96"

and in NPI set these Sync and Refresh settings.


If you can get a steady, constant FPS=48 in 95-98% of the time it is good. The rest of the time
when FPS drops will be short and occasional and you can just blame it on BAD mapping!

EDIT: To test this Frame Rate Limiting, make an empty profile and drive around on the SCS
Vanilla map in different environments.

This solution is also not working for me, even game graphic is worse than before.

@t2patel

NONE of these settings should have ANY impact on the graphics, so it beats me.

[black-coffee]

@t2patel if your V-Sync is set to adaptive stop messing around with 1/3 or 1/4 settings, adaptive means it will self regulate the best refresh rate. Also, adaptive only works if your Freesync or G-Sync is ON.
