    Hi All -

    So messing around with my R2, I had some questions about the Nvidia control panel. Is it better to leave the config on the Nvidia control panel to "Let 3d Application Choose", or is it better to configure at this level? I don't really know what the best thing to do is for gaming purposes.

    Thoughts?

    Honestly it depends on the game.

    In 95% of cases, you're fine with the default options, particularly with newer games. But with older games there might be lackluster antialiasing support, or features that weren't available when the game came out that the graphics card supports. These are things you can enable through the control panel.

    Ultimately, if you don't know what the settings mean, you should probably leave them alone unless you research them first.
