NVIDIA Profile Inspector by game
NPI works with any game that runs on an NVIDIA GPU, because it edits the driver's per-game profile, not the game. What is worth changing depends on the game: DLSS presets in modern single-player games, a frame cap and V-Sync in older Bethesda titles, and very little in competitive shooters. Search the table for your game to see which exe to attach, what NVIDIA already sets and what its anti-cheat says.
Games with their own guide

Every row is a desk check on 8 Nov 2026: NVIDIA’s profile facts are read from the driver 621.14 package LAB · driver package, engine, API and DLSS support from each game’s published feature list, and anti-cheat names from the game’s store page. We have not run any of these games, so the Recipe column says Notes only for every row and we will change a row to Tested only with a test record. Rows with no profile name were not found in NVIDIA’s database by name or executable.
What NPI is useful for, by tag
DLSS presets and frame caps account for most rows; ReBAR matters only where NVIDIA has not already set it.

| Item | games | Setup |
|---|---|---|
| DLSS preset | 25 | |
| FPS cap | 19 | |
| Latency | 12 | |
| ReBAR | 11 | |
| Shader cache | 10 | |
| AA/AO bits | 6 | |

Your game is not listed: the five-minute method
Find the real exe
Use Task Manager while the game runs to see the process name. Launchers are the usual wrong answer. Finding a game’s exe explains the method.
Search for its profile in NPI
Type the game’s name in the profile box. If a profile appears, NVIDIA already set something for it. How to use NPI shows the window.
Decide what you want
A DLSS preset is covered in DLSS presets, a frame cap in the frame cap guide, ReBAR in the ReBAR guide and stutter in the shader cache guide.
Change one setting, apply, test
Change one row, click Apply Changes, restart the game and see whether it behaves differently.
Export a backup
Export the profile so you can return to it. See NIP files.
What NPI cannot do in a game
- It cannot add DLSS to a game that does not ship it. Third-party tools exist, see OptiScaler for context.
- It cannot unlock a frame cap the game engine sets for itself.
- It cannot change in-game settings, only what the driver does for the game.
- It cannot bypass anti-cheat, and we do not describe ways to try.
- It cannot fix a CPU bottleneck, which is the usual limit in many online shooters.
How we check a game
Each row starts with NVIDIA’s own profile data for driver 621.14, then adds the engine, API and DLSS support from the game’s published feature list, the executable from the game’s install and the anti-cheat from its store page. We do not test online accounts for bans. The full method is on How we test.
Questions people ask
Does NVIDIA Profile Inspector work with every game?
It works with any game the NVIDIA driver can run, because it edits the driver's profile for that game's executable. It cannot change what a game engine does, so a game that caps its own frame rate or ignores driver overrides will not change.
Can I use NPI settings in online games?
The driver profile is not a game file, but no anti-cheat vendor has said that it is safe. Crytek documented bans for visibility advantages made with NPI in Hunt: Showdown. Keep to settings that give no visual advantage: a frame cap, V-Sync and the DLSS preset.
Why does my game ignore my NPI settings?
The usual reasons are that you attached the launcher instead of the game exe, that the game's own setting overrides the driver, or that the game uses an API the setting does not cover. Check the exe first.
Can NPI add DLSS to a game?
No. NPI can change which DLSS preset a DLSS game uses, but it cannot add DLSS to a game that does not ship it.
Where do I find a game's profile in NPI?
Type the game's name in the profile box in NPI. If nothing matches, the game has no predefined profile and you can create one and attach its exe.
