Nvidia App's Default Settings Found to Reduce Gaming Performance

Gamers report frame rate drops of up to 15% due to specific settings in Nvidia's new app, with temporary fixes available while the company investigates.

Nvidia's recently launched Nvidia App, replacing GeForce Experience, has been linked to gaming performance drops on some systems.
Frame rate reductions of up to 15% have been observed, particularly when the app's 'Game Filters and Photo Mode' overlay is enabled.
Testing shows performance impacts vary by game and system, with titles like Assassin's Creed Mirage and Black Myth: Wukong experiencing notable slowdowns.
Disabling the 'Game Filters and Photo Mode' setting or the entire overlay resolves the issue, according to Nvidia and multiple testers.
Nvidia has acknowledged the problem and is working on a fix, while users can still manually install drivers without the app if preferred.
