How to open NSZ file?
The most common problem when using Benchmark Data Format Used By NVidia NTune Tool is that a specific NSZ is not associated with the program. This causes the file NSZ to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.

Step 1. Install NVIDIA nTune

Programs to open NSZ file
Remember to download programs supporting NSZ files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of NVIDIA nTune with NSZ files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the NSZ file still does not use the NVIDIA nTune program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the NSZ file with the NVIDIA nTune application.
Step 3. Update NVIDIA nTune to the latest version
If, however, after binding NVIDIA nTune with Benchmark Data Format Used By NVidia NTune Tool there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the NVIDIA Corporation page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the NSZ file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The NSZ file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the NSZ file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file NSZ or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover NSZ files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the NSZ files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular NSZ file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use NVIDIA Corporation help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted NSZ files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the NSZ file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the NSZ file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
