Np, another thing which will help "smooth" out your games as long as you have the graphics power is utilizing DSR (Dynamic Super Resolution). I use it on a few games and the difference with 4K DSR and 1080P is noticeable.

I actually setup my games separably through each game settings but quickly reading through the guide it seems its better to setup a few things a certain way globally through NVPC then adjust via game. I don't have the same GPU but my SLI setup is similar in performance and I do have the same monitor. I'll go through the guide this weekend and if I notice any improvements or adjustments I'll be sure to post them here.

Typically my FPS games like BF4 are set to low quality (Ultra Mesh for long distance targets) and that keeps my FPS pegged @144hz with V-sync on (V-sync off they run between 150-199 but my cards get too hot). On my single player games settings are around high @80-100 FPS.

It says it looks better for older games when its on but for newer games there's not much of a difference.

"Antialiasing - Gamma Correction: This setting is designed to adjust the brightness level of the image using Gamma Correction, or Gamma for short, specifically so that any Antialiased edges are shown with an appropriate level of contrast. There is no performance impact from using this setting."

"It is recommended that Antialiasing - Gamma Correction be set to Off under Global Settings, as it appears to have ***no impact on modern games, which are most likely already appropriately adjusting for gamma***, and it may actually cause issues with the appearance of thin lines in older games if enabled. You can experiment with individual games, particularly older games, to see if you prefer to have it enabled under the Program Settings tab for each game."

But it does note that it can be changed based on user preference for the game.

And on the anisotropic filtering, it says that it recommends setting it at 16x in the control panel and disabling it in game because it might cause problems...but the thing is, some games don't have an off option for it...so what do I do then?? I've seen in games like doom and Battlefront, Batman Arkham Knight, ect only having a low option or a trilinear option...so what do I do then?? I noticed the picture does look better with anisotropic on in the control panel and off in the games that allow it to be off...but the ones that don't have an off option, they look a little less impressive almost like it conflicts...but I'm not sure...any ideas?

"It is recommended that you use 16x AF wherever possible, as it provides a noticeable improvement in image quality with negligible performance impact on most systems. You can set the Anisotropic Filtering option to 16x in the Global Settings to ensure that it's used in all games, but you must then make sure that in every game you run, you turn off any AF in the in-game settings to prevent a potential conflict."
I would say leave it as 16x in NCP but disable it in every game so there's no conflicting settings. There is the option to set games up individually as well if AF is causing issues using it globally.

Ok but that's what I was saying is that in some games, they don't have a disable option for anisotropic filtering...they just have low or trilinear...so how would I disable it in that case??
