Can NVIDIA control panel trigger VAC?

[Jerry Cooperman]

I was looking to increase my FPS in 7DTD by adjusting custom NVIDIA settings for 7daystodie.exe within the manage 3D settings option. I want to make sure this cant trigger a VAC ban.

As far we know, it doesnt.
VAC will be triggered if you modify game files or try to inject the game procces

If a control panel option on a major and very commonly used video card product caused vac bans, I would expect a lot more people would be complaining about that...

Video settings should not ever be something that would trigger a BAN. At MOST it should trigger an error message. If you get an error, that's likely the culprit but I wouldn't expect it to do so.

Also of note, that game doesn't use vac as far as I can tell, anyway.

I was just concerned because it makes NVIDIA have custom roles for a games performance and graphical capabilities for a specific game program.

All cheats are detected if you inject/run a known external cheat.
At best you’ll just get an error.

The following will not trigger a VAC ban:

Using chat programs like X-Fire or Overwolf
System hardware configurations
Updated system drivers, such as video card drivers

Alright thank you! Sorry I tend to be a little neurotic when it comes to paranoia.
