Here you will find the tutorial on how to change LOD BIAS for current NVIDIA drivers.Originally Posted by NVIDIA Support
First of all, here is the short info:
The so called Level of Detail BIAS (LOD BIAS) controls at which distance from the viewer the switch to lower resolution mip maps takes place (see here for more details about mip maps). The standard value of the LOD BIAS is 0.0 (zero). If you lower the LOD BIAS below zero, the mip map levels are moved farther away, resulting in seemingly sharper textures (though, if the scene is moving, the textures start to shimmer) and the opposite cause textures to lose details in a shorter distance from the player. When LOD BIAS is set to extremely high value (like +10), the game starts to look "cartoonish" (much like TF2, I'd say) and it's easier to spot enemies. Also, FPS may boost a lot.
Here are few screens of Black Ops with LOD BIAS set to 10:
Note: orange sky and desaturated hands is the result of config tweaking.
Earlier you could easily change LOD BIAS with Rivatuner or nHancer, but their current versions don't support 2XX.XX versions of NVIDIA Forceware. NVIDIA Inspector can change it only for range from -3 to +3, so this is not appropriate for our needs. However, there is a workaround:
1. Download the attached .rar archive and extract it.
2. Run "Geforce_SLI_Profile_Tool.exe".
3. Click "Export SLI Profiles" and save your current profile.
4. Open it in any text editor, search for "Black Ops" and add there the following string:
Note: we should use the value of 0x00000050 because LOD BIAS setting in NVIDIA Forceware is in increments of 0.125. So to achieve an LOD BIAS of 10, that would be the 80th setting. Since the values in the profiles are in HEX, that would be 50.Code:Setting ID_0x00738e8f = 0x00000050 UserSpecified=true
Then it should look something like this:
5. Save the file (obviously)Code:Profile "Call of Duty: Black Ops" ShowOn GeForce ProfileType Application Executable "blackops.exe" Executable "blackopsmp.exe" Setting ID_0x0019bb68 = 0x00000000 UserSpecified=true Setting ID_0x002ecaf2 = 0x00000000 UserSpecified=true Setting ID_0x00738e8f = 0x00000050 UserSpecified=true Setting ID_0x0084cd70 = 0x00000000 UserSpecified=true Setting ID_0x00ce2691 = 0x00000014 UserSpecified=true Setting ID_0x00e73211 = 0x00000000 UserSpecified=true Setting ID_0x101e61a9 = 0x00000001 UserSpecified=true Setting ID_0x1033cec1 = 0x00000003 Setting ID_0x1033dcd2 = 0x00000004 Setting ID_0x10930f46 = 0x00000001 Setting ID_0x1095def8 = 0x02402005 Setting ID_0x10d2bb16 = 0x00000001 UserSpecified=true Setting ID_0x10ecdb82 = 0x00000001 EndProfile
6. Click "Import SLI Profiles" and select the modified file.
7. To achieve the best results add the following commands to the botom of your game config ("%Steam%\steamapps\common\call of duty black ops\players\config_mp.cfg"):
8. ?????Code:seta r_picmip "3" seta r_picmip_bump "3" seta r_picmip_manual "1" seta r_picmip_spec "3" seta r_picmip_water "1" seta r_zFeather "0" seta r_treeScale "0" seta wind_grass_gust_strength "0" seta wind_grass_scale "0" seta wind_grass_tension "0" seta wind_local_frequency "0" seta wind_leaf_scale "0"
9. PROFIT!!!11
