Windows

NVPI-R/
NVIDIA profiles for Profile Inspector Revamped. The base profile affects all games, Hunt-Showdown.nip is game-specific. Mostly focused on reducing input lag and dialing in DLSS/sharpening.

Installing NVIDIA profiles

1. Grab NVIDIA Profile Inspector Revamped
2. Import the .nip files
3. Restart for changes to apply

Base profile affects all games.

Legacy NVIDIA sharpening (pre-NIS)

Legacy sharpening is cleaner than NIS. Less haloing on high contrast edges, works at native resolution without forcing GPU scaling, and doesn't oversharpen dark areas. NIS was designed for upscaling - using it just for sharpening at native res adds artifacts some people don't like.

Guide

Registry files

Legacy-Sharpen.reg - Enables old sharpening
NIS-Sharpen.reg - Re-enables NIS

Double-click to apply, restart PC.

Manual method

1. Open Registry Editor
2. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\nvlddmkm\Parameters\FTS
3. Set EnableGR535 to 0 for legacy, 1 for NIS
4. Restart

Driver updates reset this to NIS.
