Best NVIDIA settings for FPS

Open NVIDIA Control Panel → Manage 3D settings → Global Settings (or Program Settings for one game).

Step by step

1. Power management mode: Prefer maximum performance.
2. Low Latency Mode: On or Ultra (in games with NVIDIA Reflex, use Reflex instead).
3. Texture filtering - Quality: High performance.
4. Vertical sync: Off (or use G-Sync with a frame cap).
5. Max Frame Rate: a few FPS below your refresh rate if you use G-Sync.
6. Shader Cache Size: Driver Default, to reduce stutter from shader compilation.
