You can do this one of two ways specifically using nVidia Control Panel. Here are the two methods:

1) Go to Adjust image settings with preview, and select "Use my preference emphasizing: Performance
2) Go to Manage 3D settings, and turn every single option to either Off, or High Performance. This method will give you the absolute highest performance.

Also, make sure to change all of your SC2 global settings to Low

Actually, a few settings, and optimizations should be left ON. here are the best settings possible. anything not mentioned, should most likely be left alone.

Ambient Occlusion: OFF
Anisotropic filtering: OFF
Antialiasing - Gamma correction: OFF
Antialiasing - Mode: OFF
Maximum pre-rendered frames: 3
Multi-GPU mode (if you have this) nvidia recommended
Power management: Max performance
Texture filtering: high performance
Triple buffering: off
vertical synce: off


(all of these things are in the manage 3d settings window)

Settings are personal i'd just mess with them one by one and see what quality vs performance hit and make your own decision. Personally i just use in game settings to do tweaking nvidia control panel by default does a good enough job.
