Hey,
I bought GTX 970 a few days ago. Previously I had GTX 660 and overally I'm very happy about my new toy, however I noticed some weird stuff in NVIDIA Control Panel. It seems that default settings of GTX 970 force some graphic effects in all games, like Antialiasing and Anisotropic Filtering. I'm not sure how my settings for GTX 660 looked like, maybe it was the same, but I find it a bit weird. Shouldn't the global setttings that apply to ALL 3D games be more neutral and set to "Application controlled"?
Unfortunately I can't post a screenshot right now because I'm not at home (and my settings are not in english anyway) but I can tell you that I had at least 4x AA and 16x Aniso forced for all 3D applications. It already caused me trouble with modded Skyrim - I'm using ENB (graphic enhancer based on custom d3d9.dll file) and generally the basic idea is to disable Skyrim's built-in AA in favor of the ENB. If both are enabled then the game has graphical issues like dissappearing textures. I was surprised when I first started Skyrim with ENB and everything set correctly and I found out that my textures are disappearing - turned out to be a problem with NVIDIA settings. I disabled them just for Skyrim's EXE file but I was wondering if I could / should do that in "Global" tab for everything else? Can it also produce some increase in performance? For example, does the NVIDIA's antialiasing work together with games' built-in antialiasing and apply double AA? If yes, then I'm pointlessly losing some FPS here (not that it's a problem with 970, but still).
So.. do you guys with 970s have same settings? Does it also force AA, Aniso and other effects for you in all games? Can I safely disable that and set everything to be application controlled or I might get some bugs? And finally, are these settings something new in more expensive cards or am I just blind and I had the same settings for my GTX 660?
