Windows settings vs. Nvidia control panel for Spectrum

[kaum]

I have questions regarding the settings:

1. What is better to use as settings app: Windows settings or Nvidia settings app - or does it matter anyway? And has someone found a good setting in Nvidia - should the gsync be on…

2. As DP cables ordered did not arrive I use a rather old DP cable. The monitor with that cable has problems in waking up from standby. Is there any specific setting I can use to ensure the monitor wakes up.

BTW: I have a GTX2060 and it seems that the 4K 144 is quite a burden for that card… even without playing games…-

Hey, @kaum!

It does not matter for most use cases. However, if you’d like to have fine control over the color depth and color format, Nvidia Control Panel offers more advanced customization options.
