NVIDIA Profile Inspector is an advanced hardware monitoring application intended to be used by power users who want to take full control over their Nvidia GPU hardware.

To many enthusiast PC users and lifelong gamers, GPU represents only the most important component in their PC configuration but also one of the most overclocking-friendly pieces of hardware.

NVIDIA Profile Inspector for PC enables such users to closely monitor all the available settings, get access to video card information, and fine-tune performance-boosting options of their GPU.

Since it provides access to many tools present in the NVidia driver and entries found in the Windows Registry database, any change you make requires careful consideration.

Be aware that some changes may introduce instability, compromised visual output, or some other effect that may impact the functioning of your GPU hardware and its sub-systems (such as its onboard audio module).

Installation and Use

It comes in a truly miniature packager that weights less than 200KB. Since it comes inside the compressed archive, it does not feature any automatic installer and instead, all you need to do is unpack it either on your local storage or portable USB drive.

After starting it for the first time, the app will scan your PC for installed hardware and provide you a detailed listing of the GPU information and tools available for tweaking.

This includes data about GPU type, card BIOS version, memory size and type, shader count, current driver version, and much more. As for access to real-time sensors, it provides instant monitoring to current GPU temperature, clock speeds, fan usage, memory and video processing loads, and more.

In addition to sensor monitoring, It can also serve as an excellent overview of the current state of the core GPU hardware such as core and memory clocks.

This is done inside a nicely designed user interface that clearly showcases not only the current state of the GPU but also gives easy drag&drop access to tweaking the active frequencies of core GPU hardware.

A wide variety of built-in tools enables manual changes of GPU and memory clocks values, which is great news for overclocking fans. Fan speed can also be modified straight from inside the interface, but we recommend leaving it on automatic since inadequate or poorly set fan presets can cause overheating or even introduce errors in rendering.

It is important to note that since NVIDIA Profile Inspector is intended to enthusiast users, it does not feature flashy interface and eye-catching presentation that is present in other overclocking or GPU monitoring apps.

What's new in this version:

Nvidia Profile Inspector 2.4.0.34
- Improved profile combobox setup code, roughly halves launch time
- Bugfix: fixed wrong profile sometimes being loaded when clicking the profile drop-down, caused by searching for profile name as an EXE filename
- Reverted "skip profile-scan if CSN-only is enabled"


Nvidia Profile Inspector 2.4.0.30
App:
- Switched to .NET 4.8, included in Windows 10 and later, rather than 4.8.1 which may have needed a separate redistributable

Settings:
- Added DLSS-SR Preset L and M, fixed "Quality" percentage
- Added "PhysX - Enable 32-bits GPU Acceleration (RTX 50)" setting
- DLSS override settings now show the override DLL version in the dropdown, eg. "override with latest installed (v310.5.0)", along with short description of how override works


Nvidia Profile Inspector 2.4.0.27
Form / UI:
- Added search filter field above settings list, filters settings as text is typed in. (ESC to clear)
- Setting groups can now be collapsed via double-click, hidden/collapsed groups are saved between sessions.
- Added simple update check, title bar shows notice if newer GitHub release is available (can be disabled in settings.xml)
- Profile box now accepts EXE names, entering EXE name/path and pressing Enter will select corresponding profile if exists.
- Fixed minor UI issues.

Settings:
- Implemented [Min/Max]RequiredDriverVersion, settings can now be hidden on drivers outside of version range (CTRL+ALT+D shows all).
- Applied version constraints to some deprecated settings (e.g. 3D Vision/Stereo).
- Added AlternateNames XML element for settings that may be known by other names, checked by search filter.
- Updated settings:
- Added TILEDCACHE_TILESIZE, TILEDCACHE_L2_USAGE, PS_CONST_FOLDING_GPU
- TILEDCACHE (DX/OpenGL) updated ID for newer drivers
- Antialiasing - Combined (Mode + Setting) updated ID for newer drivers
- Anisotropic Filtering (Mode + Setting) updated ID for newer drivers
- Smooth Motion - Flip Metering settings moved to Extra section.

NVAPI:
- Updated to use NVDRS_APPLICATION_V4 from latest NVAPI


Nvidia Profile Inspector 2.4.0.20
- Settings: update Smooth Motion settings, renamed Feature Flags to Allowed APIs, added debug/flip metering settings
- Settings: add TILED_CACHE, and Shader Cache/color compression settings for OpenGL
