Nvidia Application Profiles - Anyone know how to use

Hi, i need help again,

I have a modest GeForce GTX460 on my computer and i play alot of games, well, on nvidia painel the'res that option to Enhance AA or Force AF, it will be interesting to use in some games (mainly that's with no AA support), but other games like for example RAGE (on Wine) get glitches if i set this options, so, i don't use.

But in recent versions there's this option called Application Profiles, but i don't have a clue how to use, i've searched alot getting informations about this panel, but don't find anyting, even on nvidia site i just found this: http://www.nvidia.com/object/profiles.html

There two tabs, one called Profiles and the other called Rules, on the Rules tab i can add a new rule (i don't know what they're for, but i can create) and add PID's, i suporse that is for filtering the apps that should use that profile and the apps that souldn't.

In the profiles tab i can add a profile and set some settings for that profiles, but, i don't know which settings i should type.

Some screenshots if helps:

I also use nvidia and checked the settings you mention. If I understand them correctly you should use the process name to identify the application you want to have a profile for. Use ps -e to find the process name of the game in question and then you should be able to create a profile for it.
