Hi,
Just upgraded to a 7800GTX from a long-line of non-nVidia cards (X800XL, 9700Pro, 8500LE, G400MAX) and I'm a little lost in the transition to nVidia's drivers.
My main concern is display profiles. With ATI, I could create a profile for normal use (1600x1200@85Hz) and one for Photoshop (2048x1536@60Hz) and then easily toggle back and forth from the system tray. Icons and windows would never go off screen and refresh rates would change as specified. How do I do this with nVidia reference drivers?
My secondary concern is more of an "comprehension" issue with performance profiles for different apps/games. I've setup a profile for F1 Challenge, one for UT2004, and one for HL2. Understand that OK, but do these performance profiles apply themselves whenever those games are run and then reset to default profile when done playing? Or, do I need to manually enable them before playing?
Lastly, is there a way to have the windows desktop at 1600x1200@60Hz, but have 3D 1600x1200@85Hz? ATI could do this... can nVidia? NB: reason for low refresh rates is the monitor... don't ask.
Any help is appreciated, particularly from those familiar with both nVidia and ATI drivers.
