In the Nvidia control panel Manage 3d settings Program settings what are all the optimal settings for UnReal engine

Development Getting Started & Setup

I am new to the Dev Community so I apologize in advance if this question is inappropriate in any way.

Computer Predator Helios NEO 16s AI

In process of upgrading to 64g RAM & additional 2 TB SSD

I have a NVIDIA 5060 GPU it is set in windows 11 Bios as the d(GPU). It is also set as the preferred program for UnReal Engine and Epic Game Launcher in the Windows 11 Setiings+Display+Graphics. But I also understand that to enhance GPU optimization for UnReal it is also advisable to go into NVIDIA Control Panel + Manage 3d Settings + Program settings and set the following applications specifically:

  1. Epics Game Launcher
  2. All Specific UnReal Engines I might be using
  3. Not sure if there is anything else?

My question is in 2026;

  1. If just the Launcher is set up isn’t that enough to apply the settings to all engine versions I might run?
  2. If not do the settings differ between the Launcher and the Engine?
  3. If they do differ what are each?

Any help greatly appreciated

These are the settings I have the Launcher set up to use:

  • Applying Best Nvidia Control Panel Settings For Unreal Engine

    • Image scaling - on

      • keep the sharpen to 50% and you need to click on okay

    • Anisotropic filtering - 8X

      • 16x makes the program very lagging

    • Antialiasing FXAA - on

    • Antialiasing gamma correction - on

    • Antialiasing mode - Override any app settings

    • Antialiasing settings - 8X

    • Antialiasing transparency - 8X super sample

    • Bkg. App Max Frame Rate - on FPS 200

      • It is recommended if you’re playing too much games on your PC you can go with the maximum and you need to click on okay

    • CUDA GPUs - Use these GPUs / NVIDIA 5060

  • CUDA system fallback policy - driver default

  • Low latency mode - on

    • Do not go with the ultra it will make your program very slow

    • You don’t need this in the program but if you are playing games on your PC you can make it at its maximum and you need to click on okay

  • Monitor Technology - Ignor

  • Multi-Frame Samp. AA (MFAA) - on

  • OpenGL GDI compatibility - prefer performance

  • OpenGL rendering GPU - select your graphics card NVIDIA 5060

  • Power management mode - prefer maximum performance

  • Preferred refresh rate - highest available

  • Texture filtering (Anistropic…) - on

  • Texture filtering (Negative LOD.. - clamp

  • Texture filtering quality - higher performance

  • Texture filtering Trilinear… - on

  • Threaded optimization - on

  • Triple buffering - on

  • Vertical sync - on (However not needed)

  • Virtual realities pre-rendered… - go with the 1

  • Virtual Reality Variable Rate… - Ignore

  • Vulkan/OpenGL present method- Prefer layered on DXGI Swapchain

    • If it does not work you can use the auto it will automatically select the best option for you.
