1. Adjust Image Settings with Preview
Use the advanced 3D image settings: Lets you manually customize all 3D settings under “Manage 3D settings.”
Let the 3D application decide: Passes control to the game/application.
2. Manage 3D Settings
Ambient Occlusion: Adds realism by simulating soft shadows around objects.
Anisotropic Filtering: Enhances texture clarity at oblique angles.
Antialiasing – FXAA / Gamma Correction / Mode / Transparency: Controls how jagged edges are smoothed.
Background Application Max Frame Rate: Limits FPS of background apps.
CUDA – GPUs: Specifies which GPUs will run CUDA workloads.
Low Latency Mode: Manages the frame queue to reduce input lag.
Max Frame Rate: Caps the FPS to reduce power usage or heat.
Multi-Frame Sampled AA (MFAA): A lighter form of antialiasing.
OpenGL Rendering GPU: Selects the GPU for OpenGL rendering.
Power Management Mode: Controls GPU performance behavior.
Preferred Refresh Rate: Lets you override the display’s default refresh rate.
Shader Cache: Stores compiled shaders to reduce stuttering.
Texture Filtering – LOD Bias / Negative LOD / Quality / Trilinear Opt.: Tweaks image quality vs performance.
Threaded Optimization: Enables multithreaded optimizations.
Triple Buffering: Works with V-Sync to reduce stuttering.
Vertical Sync (V-Sync): Syncs frame output with monitor refresh rate.
Virtual Reality pre-rendered frames: Number of frames prepared before being shown in VR.
3. Configure Surround, PhysX
Span displays with Surround: Combines multiple monitors into one large display.
PhysX Processor: Choose CPU or GPU to handle PhysX physics calculations.
4. Display Settings

Adjust Desktop Color Settings: Customize brightness, contrast, gamma, and digital vibrance.
Rotate Display: Change screen orientation (portrait, landscape).
View HDCP Status: Verifies High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection compatibility.
Set Up Digital Audio: Configure HDMI or DisplayPort audio.
Adjust Desktop Size and Position: Scale resolution, adjust aspect ratio, and position screen.
5. Video Settings
Adjust Video Color Settings: Modify color space, dynamic range, brightness, contrast, gamma.
Adjust Video Image Settings: Enable edge enhancement and noise reduction for video playback.
