Team Fortress 2 NVIDIA Control Panel Settings

lindonmartin28 · Aug 27, 2017

Hello everybody,

I was just wanting to know what would be the best settings to use on the NVIDIA Control Panel for Team Fortress 2.

Specs:

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 950M 4 GB VRAM
Intel Core i3-6100U @ 2.3 GHz
8 GB RAM (7.88 Usable)

GPU Driver: 385.41

I'm more bothered about whether or not threaded optimisation should be used for Team Fortress 2 if anybody wants to know the setting I'd like to know the most about. I have tried all three settings and haven't noticed a difference, however it would still be nice to see suggestions just in case.

Thanks!

I would leave that most of the settings on auto. Valve's PC ports are good quality and any settings you would need to change will be in the game's graphics menu.

I can't say TF has a good performance quality going for it right now. After playing it for 3762+ hours, I really can't agree with that. I can agree with other Source Engine games though, mostly. Although you're probably right in terms of the settings. Thanks. I'm going to wait before I select that as a solution.

I'm just asking because as much as I love TF, performance has become an issue recently and nothing really seems to change the fact that I will dip below 60 FPS even after a factory reset of the laptop. Likely due to the fact that the Source Engine wasn't designed for so many cosmetics and such and likely due to the fact that my CPU isn't exactly fantastic.

- Thanks

Ncp graphics settings should be kept at default unless you are wanting to add more aa. There's nothing there worth changing. Have you cleaned the laptop?

I've done a lot of things with the laptop. Disabled core-parking (might not make any difference on a CPU like mine), factory reset the laptop, new thermal paste, etc. Anti-Aliasing I leave at application controlled anyways because I get no FPS boosting from disabling AA in-game so I kept it on.

I'm typically fine with my FPS as it is, I just wanted to know if anything in the NVIDIA Control Panel may help me get a small boost because I like to play competitively here and there and of course reaching your monitor's refresh rate or above is pivotal for that. I've tried TF2 using the 'graphical' configs out there and they only decreased FPS, something to do with less GPU being used so even CPU processing goes towards graphics - it's odd.

Thanks anyways!
