Turning Off V-Sync to Boost Performance
To get the best benchmark and application performance measurements, turn V-Sync off
as follows:
1 Open the NVIDIA Control Panel and make sure that Advanced Settings is selected from
the control panel tool bar.
2 From the Select a Task pane, under 3D Settings, click Manage 3D Settings, then click
the Global Settings tab.
3 From the Global presets pull-down menu, select Base profile.
4 From the Settings list box, select Vertical sync and change its value to Force off, then
click Apply.
5 From the Global presets pull-down menu, select 3D App - Default Global Settings
(the driver’s default profile) or use the application profile that matches the application
you are testing, then click Apply.
Be sure to close the NVIDIA Control Panel completely —leaving it open will affect
benchmark and application performance.
NVIDIA Application Configuration Engine (ACE)
This driver includes the NVIDIA Application Configuration Engine (ACE), which
automatically detects the workstation application and configures the appropriate profile
settings in the NVIDIA Control Panel.
