What do you mean by "excess" in this context? You can TWEAK settings of your games.

According to the store page, your card is more than enough so you can crank anything high up. For everything else, asl on the game forum how to make the game look better.

Are you talking about the Nvidia control panel?

This makes it sound like you're talking about graphics settings. You WILL want to do that in "video options" of the games you play. You WILL NOT want to do that in the Nvidia control panel.

Just so you can know and not be misinformed, but your monitor is irrelevant to the settings. It could be a 100ms response time but you could still access settings.

The reason why it might be "on some computers" is because some PCs have different graphics control panels, which can be accessed in slightly different ways. Yours is a GTX 1050Ti, so you'll be using the Nvidia control panel. But those control panels are more towards users who knows the things they're reading. If you mess up after just screwing around with settings there, you could cause your games to be extremely slow and laggy because it's rendering in 16k or 32k resolution (that won't end well), for an example. It's not *that* touchy, but it's possible for someone to accidentally cause that to happen, if they don't know what settings they're messing with and just changing stuff willy nilly.

So, please consider using the ingame graphics settings instead; there is little benefit to modifying most things in the graphics control panel in any case. It's also much more reliable to get results with just using ingame graphics settings instead. It's normally under "options>video" or "options>video options".

OP, if you don't know what you're doing, please don't overclock. Overclocking is fine and dandy in some cases, but I believe in your case, you don't want to overclock.

A question that should be by itself, but OP, did you build your PC or is it prebuilt? Or is it a laptop?
