nVidia drivers include a unique feature, that allows them to define profiles for every game, which control various compatibility and optimization aspects.
Lately, this feature has received some new attention, since the new SLI technique requires nVidia to provide such a profile for a game to get any speed improvement. But these profiles are just as interesting even without SLI, just to enhance the gaming experience with any game.
It's not very difficult to create such profiles. The standard control panel, that is a part of nVidia's drivers, already offers a way to create and manipulate those profiles. Unfortunately, the control panel is very cumbersome to use, doesn't offer all options and many people just don't know how to use it.
This is where the nHancer project steps in. With nHancer the creation and management of profiles is very easy, and the user receives as much assistance as he needs, to understand what he's doing.
Additionally, if you don't want to create the profiles yourself, you can simply use our Profile Database, where you can find many optimized profiles for your games.
