Optimizing your NVIDIA graphics card allows you to achieve an optimal balance between performance and quality. Here's how to get the most out of your NVIDIA card. Use the NVIDIA Control Panel. Right-click on your desktop and click on "Show more options".
Select "NVIDIA Control Panel". Under "3D Settings", select "Configure Surround, PhysX" or "Set PhysX configuration". Set the PhysX processor to the NVIDIA card on your system. Click "Apply". Back on the left menu, click on "Manage 3D settings" to configure the behavior of your graphics card. Under "Global Settings", select your preferred graphics processor depending on your need.
Choose "Integrated graphics" if you need to save energy and powerful graphics are not as important. Choose "High-performance NVIDIA processor" if you need the best graphics performance possible. You can also let the system auto-select which graphics processor to use depending on the applications running.
Click on "Apply" once you've made your selection. For systems with high-performance NVIDIA cards, it's best to play around with some of the settings that detail how much quality and processing power you want your card to do on your system. You can adjust some of these settings to improve how your applications look. For the power management mode, you should use the "Prefer maximum performance" option.
If you notice a decrease in performance when changing any of these settings, click on the "Restore" button to set everything back to default. Once you've changed all the settings to your liking, click on "Apply" to confirm. Change the power settings to be running on high performance mode. Click on the battery icon in the lower right corner of the taskbar.
Double-click on the smaller battery icon on the bottom left corner of the Quick Settings pop-up menu. Set the power mode" to "Best performance". If you're using an Alienware device, click on the Windows Start button and search for "command center" and open the app. On the left menu, select the "PERFORMANCE" tab. Choose between "PERFORMANCE" or "OVERDRIVE".
