    My Nvidia control panel doesn't show display/performance tab?

    Hi,

    As stated in the title, my Nvidia control panel only shows the 3D settings and video tab. I have the latest driver for the GPU(266.58). The tabs didn't show in driver versions 260.99 or 257.30 either. A picture is attatched below for reference. Any help is appreciated, thanks.

    PS: I own a R2

    Ah, the performance tab is there now, thanks. One more question, is there a way to make the display tab show?

    Not sure what you mean. Can you explain further?

    The display tab won't show up because all of those functions are handled by the integrated graphics, meaning that you can only access them through the Intel Control Panel or Windows.
