Nvidia Performance Tweaks 24% Boost in Performance.

[Hyunckel]

Note that this only really works with X79 Sandy Bridge-Es. This is because Nvidia decided to only support 5GT/s bus mode by default on these platforms for compatibility reasons. Native PCI 3.0 platforms like Ivy Bridge already run in this mode via driver, and won't see a performance increase by doing this.

You should get a result like so:

My 850M GTX does show Bus Interface PCI-E 3.0 x 16 3.0 next to the "?" and also when I run the render test in full screen. It seems you don't need to run the test, it's already written next to the "?"



But being an Haswell architecture CPU I guess I'm SOL on this fix? Since that technology came after Sandy Bridge and Ivy ( couldn't find a specific .exe file for my case)

( I got an i7 4700HQ @2.4 GHZ (effectively 3.2 GHZ with turbo boost / hyperthreading) )

The second tweak involves adjusting the multithreaded driver setting for FFXIV's driver profile.

Run Nvidia Inspector, and click on the tool icon:

I changed the string in Nvidia Inspector and noticed +4 FPS gain (from 55-85 to 59-89 FPS)

Thanks for the tweak OP
