    Its the same in all three 256s, but I think optimisations are disabled when h.quality is enabled even though it says otherwise.

    well thats just it, use high quality in global profile and its off by default in game profiles too, now you have high quality in all game profiles.

    If you use quality in global and then set to high quality in game profile then yea it can do that.

    i dont think so, unless we can see a clear difference between QUALITY and HIGH QUALITY mode, the trilinear optimization is turend ON for the games profiles. if both quality modes show the same quality then trilinear optimization ON.

    you didnt get my point. it doesnt matter if you have HQ in ur main profile. your main profile wont get executed. the game profile will when you run the game exe. when i select HQ in the game profile the trilinear optimize shows ON. your telling me since the main profile has HQ on it will override the game settings; thats totaly wrong. if the game profile has trilinear optimize on and the main profile has HQ mode the game profile will override the main profile once its executed turning trilinear optimization ON. so i need to turn it off at the game profile not the main profile.

    And yes i had HQ mode set in my main profile.

    Instead of multi moaning posts on same subject, why not simply check in the Registry and see if its ON or OFF ?

    Hi,

    How do you export the Sli profiles from a series 197 driver and import into these new drivers? I have many games setup in my current drivers, and then after updating all these settings were lost.

    Look in these 2 MAIN locations :


    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\NVIDIA Corporation

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\NVIDIA Corporation



    Used to have mess with settings in their back in the old days. ;)
