Optimizing Performance
Software Based Performance Tuning
(XPS 730 Only)
Your computer includes components compatible with NVIDIA ESA
(Enthusiast System Architecture). ESA is a PC protocol for real-time
monitoring and control of system’s thermal, electrical, acoustic, and
operating characteristics.
For the advanced user, Dell has pre-installed applications for monitoring and
"tweaking" the performance of installed, ESA compatible components.
For more information about ESA, see
nvidia.com/object/nvidia_esa.html
NVIDIA Performance
The NVIDIA Performance application integrates many of the functions
previously available in the NVIDIA nTune application into the Performance
section of the NVIDIA Control Panel.
NOTE:
Using the Performance section of the NVIDIA Control Panel may require the
user to accept an End User License Agreement.
Device Settings
When launched, the application detects installed ESA compatible devices
such as CPUs, video cards, memory, system board, and chassis components.
Selecting a component in the Device Settings interface displays the available
settings and options for that component. Advanced users can manually tune
these options to tailor and customize their computer’s performance.
These settings can be saved to profiles to be recalled at a later time.
CAUTION:
System Setup allows users unrestricted access when setting
performance related parameters. Improperly configuring these settings or
choosing options outside the capabilities of the installed components may cause
system instability, reduced component operating life, or permanent component
damage.
Dynamic BIOS Access
This section of the NVIDIA Control Panel allows you to change available
BIOS settings via a Windows
®
user interface. Changes to these options and
settings take effect on the next reboot.
