Setting Nvidia Graphics Options in Windows XP

^{The iRacing.com Simulator will automatically optimize the graphics settings within the simulator for best performance with regard to your specific computer system.  The video settings you have within Windows are taken into account when this configuration happens.  It is always better to start with the least intensive settings for your card and work your way up to settings that will give you the best performance to graphics quality ratio.  There are no right or wrong settings in the Nvidia Control Panel.  One thing to consider is that the higher the numbers the greater the impact on performance.}
