Question NVIDIA Control Panel

[Coryn94]

Dear

Sorry for the Dutch language. I chose 'Let the 3d application decide' in the control panel.

However I also chose turn vsyn on for Elden Ring specifically

Do I need to change it to 'use the 3D graphic settings' in the 1st screen to get these program specific settings to work (vsync in this case) ?
It's extremely confusing to me how it works. For now my guess is as long as I choose to let the 3D application decide, any settings done in the 2nd screen won't come into effect, I'm unsure tho as to why I can still change the settings and they aren't greyed out.
Also, let's say I choose to use the second option being 'use the 3D graphic settings' will all settings I chose in a game be overridden by the NVIDIA choices ?

Sorry for the confusing way of asking but it's this confusing to me as well.

Thanks !

So global settings would control all settings for all games. Program settings is used for using specific settings, for a specific game and would only override global settings if you use the add button and change the selection for that game from global settings to a specific choice for just that specific game.

Hi

Thanks for answering but I get that part.
It's the first screen that is unclear to me.

1st question:
If I choose 'Let the 3D application decide', will it even matter what I choose in the 2nd screen or will all settings just be decided to whatever I choose in game, ignoring whatever I would pick in the 2nd screen.

2nd question:
If I use 'use the advanced 3D image settings', do the settings in the 2nd screen overrule the settings I choose ingame ?

Global settings apply to all games.
Game specific settings overrule global settings.

Thank you for answering.
I'm sorry if my English is not good enough but that's not my question.

I understand the global and specific game settings, my questions are all on the 1st screen, not on the 2nd screenshot:

Let the 3D application decide VS. Use the advanced 3D image settings.

Let's say I use 'Let the 3D application decide'
Ingame setting Elden Ring VSYNC: ON
Program Settings VSYNC: OFF
Will VSYNC be on in this case or not ?

Let's say I use 'Use the advanced 3D image settings.
Ingame setting Elden Ring VSYNC: ON
Program Settings VSYNC: OFF
Will VSYNC be on in this case or not ?

Driver settings overrule ingame settings.
So result would be vsync off.

Aha and if I do the other option it would be the other way around ? :

Let's say I use ''Use the advanced 3D image settings.'
Ingame setting Elden Ring VSYNC: ON
Program Settings VSYNC: OFF
Will VSYNC be on in this case or not ?

Driver settings overrule ingame settings.
If you set in Nvidia control panel - let application decide, then ingame settings get used.
If you set in Nvidia control panel - vsync on/vsync off, then ingame settings get ignored.

In Nvidia control panel - global settings apply to all games.
In Nvidia panel - program specific settings apply to specific game. These overrule global settings.

Let's say I use ''Use the advanced 3D image settings.'
Ingame setting Elden Ring VSYNC: ON
Program Settings VSYNC: OFF
Will VSYNC be on in this case or not ?

Ingame settings get ignored, because you set Vsync OFF in Nvidia control panel.
So - you get Vsync OFF.
