By default NGZ is set in accordance with the requested "precision" mode PREC and the plane wave kinetic energy cutoff ENCUT:

PREC NGZ
Normal 3/2×
Single (VASP.5) 3/2×
Single (VASP.6)
SingleN (VASP.6) 3/2×
Accurate
Low 3/2×
Medium 3/2×
High

Alternatively, NGZ can be set to a specific value in the INCAR file.
