Graphics card settings (NVIDIA) for best performance

I want to know how to set the nvidia graphic card setting to get the maximum performance when using flexsim.

The captured screen is made from the NVIDIA Control Panel of Graphic card.

Which setting is for the maximum performance when using flexsim?

Software Version:

FlexSim 17.2.3

@phil.bobo and @anthony.johnson

I found the general guide for the 3D games via searching and I linked it below.

---------------------------------------------------------

http://www.tweakguides.com/NVFORCE_1.html

This Guide is updated with every major change to the control panel and has served me well with explaining. With the 370 update power management mode was weird when they added a new feature and it was explained here that I should still use Adaptive.

---------------------------------------------------------------

But I have not the knowledge to understand and to apply it in flexsim - it's content is too complicate to me and I don't know how to use it in flexsim.

Would you guide it to use in flexsim maximum performance?

Thanks.

If you want maximum performance, use the defaults or turn everything off ("application-controlled"). Doing nothing is faster than doing something.

All of the options in the Nvidia control panel have tradeoffs between performance and quality. You change them if you want to improve quality at the price of performance.

The main places where you can get improved compatibility and performance by changing something instead of using the defaults are explained in the Special Cases section at the bottom of Graphics Compatibility - Common Problems and Solutions.
