New Nvidia features (441.87)

Nvidia have released a new driver with some interesting features.

New Features -

• Maximum Frame Rate
  • This driver introduces a new Max Frame Rate setting that allows users to cap the frame rate at which a 3D game or application is rendered. This feature is helpful when trying to save power, reduce system latency or paired with your NVIDIA G-SYNC display to stay within variable refresh rate range. Access the feature from the NVIDIA Control Panel->Manage 3D Settings->Max Frame Rate.
• Variable Rate Super Sampling
  • Variable Rate Super Sampling (VRSS) is a new technique to improve image quality in VR games. It uses NVIDIA Variable Rate Shading (VRS), a key feature in NVIDIA’s Turing architecture, to dynamically apply up to 8x supersampling to the center of the VR headset display, where the eye is typically focused. It intelligently applies supersampling only when GPU headroom is available in order to maintain the VR headset’s fixed FPS and ensure a smooth VR experience. Enable the feature for over 20 supported VR games from the NVIDIA Control Panel->Manage 3D Settings- >Variable Rate Super Sampling.
• Image Sharpening Improvements
  • Based on feedback from gamers, we’ve been enhancing the recently released Image Sharpening feature. With this latest version, you can now toggle GPU scaling independent of whether image sharpening is enabled or disabled. Access the feature from the NVIDIA Control Panel->Manage 3D Settings->Image Sharpening
• Freestyle ‘Splitscreen’ Filter
  • Freestyle has added a new splitscreen filter that allows gamers to apply filters to only a portion of the game screen. With the filter, you can split the screen, showcase a side-by-side comparison, or even blend filters using the gradient function. With GeForce Experience installed, press the Alt+F3 hotkey to open the Freestyle overlay from within your game and access the new filter from the ‘Filters’ menu.
• 33 New Optimal Game Settings
  • NVIDIA has recently added Optimal Game Settings for 33 additional games, giving you one click setting recommendations for the latest releases. Optimal settings can be applied from GeForce Experience->Games tab.

The VRSS looks really interesting if it could make its way to Elite Dangerous. Although I think it requires an RTX card.

There are currently about 20 games that support it.

Be aware that the Control Panel is no longer part of the nVidia package!
It's supposed to be loaded automatically from Microsoft app store, though mind didn't...
It took a while to get it loaded from M/s store...

Sounds like you downloaded the DCH drivers, which have never included the control panel. The standard drivers still include the control panel, but they've made the DCH the default selection.

Here is a link for the standard driver: https://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/156278/en-us

that reminds of an old win 10 nvida bug missing control panel has that come back?
if that be the case I got it back by
downloading latest driver package 1st and sling it to desktop
deleting c:nvida folder
