I didn't know the executable file was renamed. In the main game folder I now have two files ts4_x64.exe and ts4_dx9_x64.exe. I usually open The Sims 4 from the EA app, not the desktop shortcut, how do I know for sure which exe file the EA app is starting?
In any case, I will change the nVidia settings in the new exe file as well, just to make sure.
I will keep you updated.
@GiardiniDiMarzo TS4_x64.exe now runs the DirectX 11 version of Sims 4, but you'd have to tell the App to run Sims 4 in DX11 mode to use it. You'd also see DX11 after the version number at the Main Menu, as opposed to DX9 if you haven't switched. And you should be able to see the executable in the Task Manager too.

Last question, Vertical Sync. Is it better to use the nVidia one or the in-game one?- puzzlezaddict12 months agoHero+
@GiardiniDiMarzo The better option is whichever one gives you the results you want. In general, I trust the Nvidia setting more than the in-game one, and the results I've heard from other players back that up. But there are times when the Nvidia setting doesn't apply correctly, for example with certain dual-GPU laptops, and a few players have reported bad results with it over the years. So try each one and see what you think.
It sometimes helps to set a Max Frame Rate in the Nvidia Control Panel as well, although it in theory shouldn't be necessary if you're enabling vertical sync in either location and only playing in fullscreen mode.

I partially solved the issue by setting also these other options in the nVidia Control Panel as well.
