Update your Graphics Driver

To use the NIS feature, you should ensure that your graphics driver is up to date. Use the GeForce Experience application for NVIDIA users. This will allow you to download and automatically install the latest GPU driver. In the Drivers tab, click download, and the application will automatically download and install the latest driver.

Enable Image Scaling in your NVIDIA Control Panel

After updating your graphics card driver, right-click your desktop and select NVIDIA Control Panel. On Windows 11, right-click your desktop and select Show More Options, and then you can choose the NVIDIA Control Panel.

In the Adjust Image settings with preview tab, set the option to Use the advanced 3D image settings and apply your changes.

NVIDIA Control Panel > 3D Settings > Adjust image settings with preview

In the Manage 3D settings tab, navigate to your Global Settings. Click on the Image Scaling option, and enable it. Set the Sharpening option to around 20%. In some cases, you might want to increase it to up to 35%, depending on how much the AI is upscaling your image while using a lower resolution. You should also tick the Overlay Indicator to know if NIS is enabled in-game. After making these changes, make sure to apply your changes.
