LOD bias issues

I just found out that you can make your tf2 look even worse by tampering with your nvidia settings. I have downloaded Nvidiainspector and did everything right according to the manual. In theory if I set the LOD bias to 15.000 and apply the settings it works, but it has no visible effects ingame. Any suggestions? I am using Chris' maxfps config. This is my profile:

Profile "Team Fortress 2"
ShowOn GeForce
ProfileType Application
Executable "team fortress 2/hl2.exe"
Setting ID_0x002c7f45 = 0x00000009
Setting ID_0x00664339 = 0x00000001
Setting ID_0x00738e8f = 0x00000078 UserSpecified=true <lod bias
Setting ID_0x0095def9 = 0x00000002
Setting ID_0x00d55f7d = 0x00000018
Setting ID_0x1033cec1 = 0x00000003
Setting ID_0x1033dcd2 = 0x00000004
Setting ID_0x106d5cff = 0x00000000
Setting ID_0x1095def8 = 0x00c02005
Setting ID_0x10f9dc81 = 0x00000011
EndProfile

Thanks in advance

I tried doing that, for some reason, when I apply changes, it won't allow me to set it to 15.000 and it keeps reverting it back to 0.000 / automatic.

Newest version of Nvidia Inspector did that to me too, i had to download an older one for it to work. I uploaded it here: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/8776548/NvidiaInspector.rar

You autoexec might have a conflicting command concerning LOD bias. You can set Nvidia Inspector to whatever LOD you want, but if your autoexec changes it as soon as you launch the game, then it's useless.

Also, be aware that using any program to change the LOD bias will get you banned in ESEA.
