Adjusting LOD bias values on Nvidia GPUs¶

Note

You will need Nvidia Inspector, linked here is an older version that has increased LOD range for competitive benchmarking.¶

Methodology¶

Open Nvidia Inspector and click the button to open the profile inspector, if you wish you can choose or create profiles for specific games/benchmarks otherwise use the GLOBAL profile.

Using Nvidia Inspector set "Antialiasing - Transparency Supersampling" to either "AA_REPLAY_MODE_ALL" or "2x Sparse Grid Supersampling", it's best to play around with these two value t

Then with "Texture Filtering - LOD bias" choose a number greater than 0.

Some benchmarks score higher with differing LOD bias values, please feel free to experiment as your mileage may vary. Listed in the below table are some suggested values for certain benchmarks.

Benchmark	Transparency Supersampling	LOD bias value
3DMark Firestrike	AA_REPLAY_MODE_ALL	3
3DMark Sky Diver	AA_REPLAY_MODE_ALL	15
3DMark Cloud Gate	AA_REPLAY_MODE_ALL	15
3DMark11	AA_REPLAY_MODE_ALL	15
3DMark Vantage	AA_REPLAY_MODE_ALL	5
3DMark03		27
Unigine Heaven Xtreme		15
Unigine Heaven Basic		15
Aquamark		27
