You will then need to select the appropriate profile in the control panel. You can do this by selecting: Properties/Settings/Advanced/Quadro FX xxxx/Performance & Quality Settings. In the “Active profile” drop-down menu, select “3D App – Modeling AFR”.

Finally, you need to turn “Vertical sync” off. While still in the “Performance & Quality Settings” window, check the “Vertical sync” box under the “Settings for 3D App – Modeling AFR”. Then un- check the box at the bottom of the window that reads “Application-controlled”.

Select “Apply” and “OK”. You are now ready to run the SPECviewperf benchmarks.
