NVIDIA GeForce/TNT tweak guide

Display settings

Click on Start, Settings, Control Panel & open up Display.

Some of these extra settings will be unavailable unless you use the registry change for NVTweak shown above. Click the Additional Properties button.

Select the Overlay Color control tab. You can use this to adjust the Brightness, Contrast, Hue & Saturation on the monitor as you see fit. Use your own discretion when setting these values.

Under Direct3D settings tab set it as follows.

·         Enable fog table emulation – You can leave this disabled unless you encounter some problems running games.

·         Adjust Z-Buffer depth to rendering depth if unequal – Leave it at default.

·         Enable alternate depth buffering techniqueTick this to improve visuals in 16-bit color at the cost of performance.

·         Mipmap Levels - This is more of an individual preference, most recommend a setting of 0.

·         Auto-Mipmap Method - Set this to Trilinear/8-tap anisotropic for best image quality. Selecting bilinear will improve performance a little.

·         Mipmap Detail Level - Set it to Best Image Quality.

·         Display logo when running Direct3D applications. Leave this unticked so a logo won’t be displayed.

Under the More Direct3d button choose.

·         PCI texture memory size - This only applies if your card is on the PCI bus. As such it won’t apply to users of GeForce, TNT2 & most TNT1 users. Set it to 0 unless the card is PCI based.

·         Texel Alignment - Leave this setting at its default value.

Disable vertical sync - Otherwise known as v-sync. I recommend leaving this unticked, it can remove any image tearing & control lag, which can occur with it disabled. Tick this if you want to benchmark game performance.
