You're Using the NVIDIA App WRONG (2026) - Max FPS & Lowest Delay

217,544 views

The NVIDIA App shipped on your PC with settings nobody chose. Features running in the background you never enabled, an overlay injected into every game you open, and recording eating resources for clips you'll never watch. In this video I go through every single setting in the NVIDIA App, what to turn on, what to kill, and which ones people swear by that do absolutely nothing. This is the app you already have open and are almost certainly using wrong.

I don't recommend having "prefer maximum performance" on globally. You are just wasting a bunch of power and generating unnecessary heat. It keeps your GPU running at maximum power even if the game is only using 50% of your GPU to hit your target FPS. Use this only if your game is very demanding for your GPU, if it's a game that is light and easy for your GPU to render then leave it to "normal" where your GPU only uses as much power as it needs to hit the desired FPS.

Small notice: Nvidia recently changed default shader cache size, it's now 16 GB which is plenty for modern gaming, unlimited isn't really needed unless you are playing like 10 titles at the same time.

some of these settings are only for 50 series and 40 series or below will not have it

also i just like to note that the output dynamic range should not always be set to full as some monitor dont support this can make things washed out if you want to know which one is right for your monitor hardware unboxed has videos onit sorry to plug another channel there but i thought you would want people getting right info hope this helps :)

I will try this.

@OGCHOPST1X 1 month ago

what about voltage maximum setting? default is 0, would it hurt the GPU to max it out ?

@SliceOfActionGaming 1 month ago

just curious of your reasoning behind saying that Low latency mode set to ultra only really for older gpus. I was under the impression that low latency set to on is for when your gpu is hitting 95 percent utilization but not fully utilized and ultra low latency is for 99-100 percent utilization because the cpu is starting to have backed up que for frames and it gets rid of the qued frames

should i really make the OC voltage 100 in the nvidia app ? i always heard that is dangerous even in afterburner ( i have 50 series card )

I changed to your settings but now cyberpunk has a little motion blur and fuzziness when I jump and that seems to be the only time it happens. The game does look alot better. Is there a setting in the nvidia app where I can fix it?

Thanks brother

warzone settings would be nice tho,also DLSS Override seems pretty good for FPS gain so test that if you can!

Anisotropic Filtering - Application Controller is generally better than off.
For Texture Filtering - I've heard that High Performance and High Quality don't work or don't change much, I'd leave that one at quality.

Idk why so much hate from some of the comments, all your doing is providing other way to go abouts in getting higher fps, if it dont work, they can always go back to the setting they had, in my case i have tried just about everything and I never see any difference on my fps COD BR. Idk what im missing, but imma try your settings see if any changes, thanks for vid.
