Anyone care to post what they are using as settings for best performance on 1 480SC and 1 monitor.  I have not really tinkerd with these settings much but did notice today that the Multi-display/mixed-GPU acceleration has mine on multiple display performance mode and I am only using one monitor, is that an issue?  That alone has me curious as to what the best settings are for gaming.  Suggestions are appreciated.

    Yep, I figured it was a long shot for a response to this but what the heck, gotta try.

    With a GTX 480 SC on 24" lcd:

    Ambient Occlusion: Off
    AF: Application Controlled
    AA- Gamma: On
    AA - Mode: Application Controlled
    AA - Setting: Application Controlled
    AA - Transparency: off
    Extension Limit: 3
    Multi-Display: Single display performance mode
    Power: Prefer Maximum Performance
    Texture Filtering - AA Sample: Off
    Texture Filtering - Negative LOD: Allow
    Texture Filtering - Quality: quality
    Texture Filtering - tri: On
    Threaded optimization: Auto
    Triple Buffering: Off
    vsync: Use 3D application setting

    conclusion: switch to single display.  I have no idea why the driver always defaults to multi-display.

    Alright, same settings but that switch to single display is something I might do.  Don't know if there is any difference though?  I've got my power set to adaptive, that should suffice I would think.
    Thanks for the reply

    Yea I was reading about people having problems with that in other threads so I don't even mess with it.  I mean you can manipulate that in game options so why bother.

    Best performance?  Here you go.

    Ambient Occlusion: Off
    AF: Application Controlled
    AA - Gamma: Off
    AA - Mode: Application Controlled
    AA - Setting: Application Controlled
    AA - Transparency: Off
    Extension Limit: Off 
    Power: Prefer Maximum Performance
    Texture Filtering - AA Sample: On 
    Texture Filtering - Negative LOD: Allow
    Texture Filtering - Quality: High Performance
    Texture Filtering - tri: On
    Threaded optimization: Auto
    Triple Buffering: Off 
    Vsync: Use 3D application setting 

    Here is what I use with my single GTX 480 and single Dell ST2310 monitor (1920 x 1080, running HDMI straight from my GTX 480).

    Ambient Occlusion: On
    AF: 16x 
    AA - Gamma: On
    AA - Mode: Application Controlled 
    AA - Setting: Application Controlled 
    AA - Transparency: Multisampling       ------->  Supersampling kills performance and looks like crap in the Crysis games... haven't tried it elsewhere.
    Extension Limit: Off
    Power: Prefer Maximum Performance 
    Texture Filtering - AA Sample: Off 
    Texture Filtering - Negative LOD: Clamp 
    Texture Filtering - Quality: High Quality
    Texture Filtering - tri: Off
    Threaded optimization: Auto
    Triple Buffering: Off 
    Vsync: Use 3D application setting 

    I'm loving my performance in the Crysis games using my high end graphics mod (see first link in my signature) and 16xQ AA at 1920 x 1080.  But I'm not sure if I should use single display or multi display... I left it on standard which is multi display performance mode.

    I know with more than one display, using single display performance can give a substantial performance gain. At least it did for me.

    I may have worded that incorrectly. Using more than one display and using multi-display performance can reduce performance vs. using single display performance. There, that sounds better.
