Nvidia has acknowledged a performance issue with its newly released NVIDIA App, which is replacing the GeForce Experience app. Users have reported a significant drop in gaming performance, with some experiencing losses of up to 15%. The problem is linked to the app's overlay and 'Game Filters and Photo Mode' settings, and is particularly noticeable in games like Assassin's Creed Mirage and titles using the Unreal Engine 5. This performance drop appears to affect many GeForce RTX 40 Series graphics card owners.
The good news is that a temporary fix is readily available for users. By navigating to the NVIDIA App settings and disabling the 'Game Filters and Photo Mode' option within the overlay settings, gamers can restore their lost performance. Nvidia has stated that they are aware of the problem and will be releasing an official update to address this performance issue. This should be a relief to PC gamers as the holiday season approaches.
