Nvidia Inspector vs Nvidia Control Panel?

[AstroBenny]

What's the difference between Nvidia Inspector and the Nvidia Control Panel?

[Valkyrie Lenneth]

inspector can change much more settings and much more detailed such as hex codes, it can pick settings that control panel cant pick

Control Panel seems to have lot more features I guess based on their screenshot

Heyyo,

@AstroBenny , NVIDIA Inspector offers more control over per-game profiles. It's extremely handy for those especially using NVIDIA SLI to setup SLI compatibility bits (SLI profiles) for games that are lacking SLI profiles or even improve SLI scaling with custom user-found bits.

Here's the list I tend to use as reference for SLI compatibility bits to use:

It can also be used to do stuff like set maximum framerate for certain games which is handy for Final Fantasy XIII and XIII-2 which suffer animation slowdowns when it keeps flopping between 30fps and 60fps framerates in combat... better to just leave it at 30fps and have smooth combat without massively fluctuating frametime variance... stupid broken PC ports! That's why I'm not buying anymore Square Enix games until users say if the 60fps is actually 60fps instead of a buggy port where the HUD wrecks your framerate for some reason... THE HUD!!!

Heyyo,

Derp! yes I did... hmm, not enough coffee this morning I guess lol... but yeah, NVIDIA Inspector is handy for that.

Another thing I forgot to mention? same with Anti-Aliasing compatibility bits!

Here's the most complete list I found on AA compatibility bits to use:

Or this one:

It's super handy on older games with bad or non-exsistant AA like Condemned: Criminal Origins or Enslaved: Odyssey To the West.

There's even some newer titles on there too.
