Nvidia Advises Disabling This Feature To Resolve Performance Issues With The Nvidia Application

Nvidia discontinued the GeForce Experience app in favor of the Nvidia App in November 2024. Nevertheless, reviewers found that it can reduce your GPU's performance by up to 15%.

Disable the game filters and photo mode toggle to restore your FPS.

Testing conducted by Tom’s Hardware indicated that the filter overlay on the Nvidia App significantly diminishes performance, resulting in frame rates comparable to that of a lower GPU tier, even in the absence of any applied filter. Although GeForce Experience has game filters, it does not impact your graphics card's performance if no filter is selected.

Nvidia's team is cognizant of the issue and is implementing measures to resolve it. The business advised Tom’s Hardware that customers should off Game Filters to prevent adverse effects on their PC's performance. To accomplish this, navigate to Nvidia App Settings > Features > Overlay > Game Filters & Photo Mode, and verify that the toggle is set to off. Upon completion, restart your game, and you should achieve the same FPS metrics as before to the installation of the Nvidia application on your PC.

This is a straightforward solution, as locating the toggle is significantly easier than reverting to a previous driver version and returning to the legacy GeForce application. Nonetheless, if you have not to transition from GeForce Experience to the new Nvidia App, do not allow this issue to hinder your update.

The new Nvidia App enhances your experience by consolidating all necessary features into a single application. The business intends to phase out the outdated Nvidia Control Panel in the future; however, many functionality remain inaccessible in the new application, so it is advisable not to uninstall it at this time. If the settings page for your GPU is currently absent, here is a method to restore the lost Nvidia Control Panel on your Windows PC.

Despite extensive beta testing of the Nvidia application, the company continues to encounter occasional issues. This is a minor issue, in contrast to the CPU failure concerns experienced by Intel with its 13th- and 14th-generation Core CPUs in 2024.
