Low Latency Gaming – Boost FPS & Reduce Input Lag with MSI Utility + Nvidia Hidden Features
Unlock hidden performance in your Nvidia GPU — even if you’ve already tweaked settings or used the Control Panel. This video shows you 5 fully reversible steps to reduce input lag, stabilize frame times, and unlock features hidden in Windows and Nvidia drivers.
🔧 Step 1 – Backup & Preparation
Create a restore point: Press Win + S → type restore point → Open → Create → Name Pre-GPU Tweaks
Export GPU settings: Open Nvidia Profile Inspector → Global Driver Profile → Export User Profile → Save as GPU_Backup.nip
Backup registry: Open CMD as admin and run reg export "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\GraphicsDrivers" "%userprofile%\Desktop\GPU_Backup.reg"
Step 2 – Registry Tweaks for GPU Scheduling
Registry Path: HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\GraphicsDrivers
TdrDelay = dword:08
TdrDdiDelay = dword:10
TdrLevel = dword:3
Revert: Double-click your backup .reg file or delete the keys
Step 3 – CMD Tweaks
Clear Shader Cache:
del /s /q %LocalAppData%\NVIDIA\DXCache\*
del /s /q %LocalAppData%\NVIDIA\GLCache\*
Reset DirectX cache:
dism.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup
Force GPU priority scheduling:
wmic process where name="dwm.exe" CALL setpriority 128
Temporary; resets after reboot
