If you have created another profile that contains any of these same applications, you may want to use that profile.

Adding Profiles With an SLI Configuration
If you are an advanced user running an SLI multi-GPU configuration and want to
create profiles that utilize SLI rendering technology, see
“SLI Rendering Mode” on
page 124
and
“About Using Other SLI-based Advanced Settings” on page 125.
Deleting Application Profiles
You can remove the following types of profiles — i.e., the
Remove
button is available
for use when:
You have selected a profile you have added.
You have selected a pre-defined NVIDIA-supplied profile that you have modified
and renamed.
Note:
Remember that when you delete a profile that is associated with a single
application or multiple applications, all NVIDIA settings for that one or
multiple applications as you’ve set in that profile are remove.
If you have created another profile that contains any of these same applications,
you may want to use that profile.
Driver Settings
Antialiasing Settings
Antialiasing is a technique used to minimize the “stairstep” effect sometimes seen
along the edges of 3D objects. Your selection can range from turning antialiasing
completely off to selecting the maximum amount possible for a particular
application. Use this slider to set the degree of antialiasing to be used in Direct3D and
OpenGL applications.
Tips on setting antialiasing modes
— Some antialiasing settings require a large
amount of video memory. If the mode you requested requires more video memory
than available and you see unexpected results, try selecting the next lower mode, and
so on, until you achieve the desired result. You may also want to experiment with
different screen resolutions, refresh rates, and/or color depths until you arrive at a
setting or combination of settings for antialiasing to work.
