I made a lot of use of Nvidia Inspector. I am beginning to realize that I am going to miss that tool greatly.
In my searches, I've really only seen RadeonPro as the equivalent, and that went undeveloped for quite a while now, so I assume it's best to simply not even bother with it anymore.
One search turned up the idea that the developer behind RadeonPro is now on the Raptr team. First, is this true? Second, and more important, does that mean Raptr/Gaming Evolved has capabilities that match RadeonPro?
I don't know if everything is the same between Catalyst and GeForce drivers, but I remember having to force different AA compatibility bits at times in order to get better performance when using AA of some kind. I might also change AF techniques, such as setting Clamp or a few other tricks. The feature I used most, and something even available directly under the GeForce driver control panel, is a framerate limit. I don't like using Vsync due to the induced input lag, especially on multiplayer racing games when I get into a streak/mood to play those often, but of course that is an important consideration for any multiplayer gaming, which I do love playing the Battlefield games. Digging through what I see in CCC, I can't find any way to simply set a hard FPS limit. I had always set 59 or 60fps. Now I can get away with FPS limits in Battlefield games, IIRC, but it's not always something that can be edited in config files.
I've been avoiding Gaming Evolved because I don't really need extra apps, and I don't like the idea of additional invasive. I never installed whatever Nvidia's GeForce gaming app was, I've got enough snooping with Steam and Origin (and I just got Far Cry 3, so now I get to enjoy Ubisoft's UPlay, oh joy!). I have heard you can disable all ad tracking and most of the tracking features (save for the basics, of which I'd accept), but I guess I just haven't heard much beyond the typical "avoid it" and thus I have done just that.
But if it provides the additional features I like, and can be prevented from being intrusive, and isn't a resource hog, I might just be fine with it. I also would like to be sure it doesn't screw with games unless I explicitly tell it to do so. I know you can "optimize" each game, but I don't want it to just automatically change game configurations because it thinks they are better than what I set.
