[@reaverMB]

I just spent a few hours scratching my head with this: For anyone trying the Nvidia App and finding out the processor usage goes high for some cores: If you configure the Nvidia Overlay to not show statistics (ALT + R shortcut), even if you choose not to use the overlay at all: This causes NVIDIA FrameView SDK service to go into a constant restart loop loading and unloading every second or so. Setting the statistics to be in use solves this problem (the service stops restarting itself and stays on), even if you then disable the overlay completely.

[@hundvd_7]

what the fuck nvidia.

[@reaverMB]

After some more testing it gets weirder than I previously thought. After a windows restart the FrameView SDK service now starts bugging out if the Statistics is ON but the Overlay is OFF. Setting both OFF seems fine, until I restart windows and that puts the FrameView SDK service back into a restart loop. So it is different depending on what settings you have set before restarting or shutdown and after flipping the settings off/on.

AMD and ATI made so much gui layer changes instead of fixing the drivers and finnishing them on time to launch day...they shloud add Templates like Winamp (that nobody remembers)... they have still so much to learn from redundant technology companies...too focused on monopoly... AMD is still fixing now driver bugs of Polaris, VEga, RDNA1 and 2 while finishing RDNA3 even for old games and cpus, but also for open source Mesa drivers or linux oem support... Nvidia needs to keep doing changes like this instead of fixing old cpu/games "driver overhead" or lose of frames when resolution is under game deveoloper's targeted 1440p and also over it as FPS are not scaling properly from 4060 to 4090 or 4090 can be too close to 7900XTX (Also scaling badly from 7600 many times and not showing full potential) or OpenGL or...

[@Tommy_The_Gun]

Number 1 issue I have is that it is unknown how many "features" will be available offline. While GeForce experience was build from the ground up with the "always online" theme (heck, it even requires you to login to nvidia account in order to use it at all) and I would also guess it collects user data, the old NV Controll Panel is 100% offline. You don't need nvidia account to change screen refresh rate lol. Also, GF Controll Panel started working slowly when Nvidia added GF Experience. And many times Nvidia was outright removing shortcuts to NV Controll Panel. For a very long time Nvidia wanted even advanced users to stop using NV Controll Panel. The are without a doubt using their monopolistic position to move a lot of features behind always on-line app and collect telemetry data on what settings we use for what game etc. At least, this is what I think about it. When it comes to big corporations, the reason they do anything is always the same - cash.

[@CMDR_bravoMike]

Someone please explain the concept of information density to GUI devs. Having to scroll for miles through a list of settings that could have been 1/3 as long is not a good user experience even if it looks better.

[@Raivo_K]

I upgraded from 15" to 21" to 27" to 32", and yet it feels like I'm seeing _less and less_ on my screen, because everything's adding infinite amounts of white space, banners, and decorations everywhere. It's like designers are constantly undoing all the technical progress to appease to people who can't handle more than two things in front of them, so everything should be spaced out, hidden, and collapsed, even if it makes everyone's life slower as a result...

There is no fps 1% lows monitoring anymore!!! Or maybe I just can't find it , but for me that was the most important metric on the old experience app. I know i can always instal afterburner and riva tuner , but that's additional steps and in counter strike 2 , it requires the -allow_third_party_software launche option, which tanks my trust factor.

[@explosivelybrilliant]

Any indication as to whether we'll be able to manually specify H265 instead of H264 for Shadowplay captures? It's insane that I can't use the hardware NVENC encoder that my 3080 has built-in just because I have 1440p displays. I'd love to be able to capture higher quality recordings while still maintaining a relatively sane bitrate.

[@danielwardAUS]

Have you noticed a different process with Highlights with this app? Before with GeforceExperience, temp highlights were saved in a different location and only once "saved", would move in to a dedicated shadowplay folder. It seems with this new app, the temp highlights are already in the dedicated shadowplay folder. Hope that makes sense! Basically the ability to store temp highlights in a different folder that are not "saved" has gone. Have you found this too? Thanks

[@dankvader420]

I think it's going to be an issue for people that like debloating their nvidia drivers to include only things they need...if this is a replacement both for geforce experience and the old control panel, this means people that only need the control panel and not geforce experience will be stuck with this new program.

Any idea if I need to turn of Windows auto HDR in order for the new Nvidia HDR driver feature to work?

[@HappyBeezerStudios]

My biggest point about a control panel, or in general any config tool is that things are compact and dense. And that was one thing the old control panel did well. It was just super slow and didn't scale well with window size. What I want for the new control panel is a search function, native system UI, and going away from the form over function "modern" design. So nvidia, please double the density of the settings list. I'm not on a 5'' 4K touchscreen. I notice that in general, modern software basically requires stuff like that. Everything is gigantic with enormous bezels, graphics cards have noticeable banding in 24/32 bit color depth, antialiasing has become worse, effects are undersampled, the resolution you set isn't what the games run at... And since they bring the ingame settings into the thing, if something allows for numeric values (either ingame or through the config file) let us enter numeric values.

[@NothingXemnas]

Exactly. I am really glad Microsoft didn't completely ditch the Control Panel, but I still had to pin it to avoid using the Settings. Now, in the matters of the app, I really hope Nvidia can match or even beat AMD's Adrenalin software.

[@VelcroSnake93]

Honestly, after moving to AMD and getting used to the software suit and things it lets me do, one of the things that has kept me from really wanting to go back to Nvida was that I liked the AMD drivers more. If Nvidia finally updated theirs to something good, that shifts it back a bit again. Not being able to overclock and undervolt right in the same app keeps the driver package ball in AMD's court for me though. Yes, I can use Afterburner, but that's just more software that needs to be run.

[@De-M-oN]

Nvidia driver are better.

[@Kankipappa]

@De-M-oN For what exactly? The user experience is rather worse over AMD drivers, if the only metric is about using the control panel features. Can you even toggle G-sync on/off while the game is open? For AMD it's just Alt+R and the tuneable settings are within reach in matter of seconds. I'm glad they're unifying the UI experience a bit more now, since it would be kinda pointless to even own a Nvidia GPU imho at that point, if you don't use Geforce Experience, since you're lacking so much in the features. Sure you can use inspector and other 3rd party software, but those aren't real fixes for the average user. Currently those settings are too split, so if you can get a better panel and overlay at all on the same place, it would be an actual upgrade on the user experience...

It's brilliantly layed out and is super easy to navigate. Amd are keeps ahead, there already pushing the boundaries with cpu,s on top of there gpus.....drivers are getting better and better, Cheaper in price,Better performance.

[@Tom-pl3wc]

4:55 the rtx hdr option doesn’t pop up for me Even though I just changed to a hdr supported monitor 2 days ago? Does anyone know why I can’t see it and if there’s a fix?

[@iswinternear]

does it affect game fps like gefore experience?

[@slc9800gtx]

Man, this was an informative video. Great job. I just downloaded the Nvidia App and it looks good and so far works great.

[@blaken3824]

Hold on did they remove DLDSR or does that appear when selecting Image Scaling? I run games at 1440 scaled down to 1080 because it's huge better quality.

[@bikesandbeats4693]

Is the app stable? Does Gsync work properly?

[@zezebro17]

It's missing the option to overclock the GPU. I installed it yesterday and while the OC that I applied before remained, the option is missing

[@ozzijayjd]

Does it still have the auto tuning ?

[@everope]

Did they remove the auto HDR setting? Can't find it

[@konterotto7175]

Any info about being able to create shortcuts for specific actions?

[@nh2182]

For me obs is blocked after I update this new update . My laptop have gtx 1650. Please reply if u face the same problem

[@historyviewllc]

Can I still use compute mode?

[@XLoad3d]

hey what about NVCleaninstall? is the "app" better?

[@losturbinos457]

But still you cant adjust camera picture freely when recording or streaming with nvidia app...am i right?

[@chelnebun]

do you need to uninstall the nvidia experience and control panel before you install nvidia app?

[@igorthelight]

Nope

[@piggehdeluxe]

will they fix the surround shit ? soo enooying that it crashing and beeing a pile of **** when i need it for my simracing stuff!

[@colt2356]

Sounds good to me as long as they actually include all of the settings and features from NCP and GFE

[@TIOLIOfficial]

Forcing users to log in had to be one of Nvidia's most braindead moments ever.

[@joelius24]

You guys logged in to get your drivers?

[@DJBV]

How resource intensive is the new app?

[@glyphschannel]

my nvidia beta app has a screen that says "Optimize games and creative applications" and i cant get past it even when i full screen the app..

[@whiterspon573]

But Question is How Long Take Before Full Release?

[@warreniii]

How do I add Game Pass games to this app, more specifically Windows apps?

[@Looooordi]

I hope they have fixed the bug about the thing sometimes recording other monitors instead of the main one. If it needs to be able to record something else, it should be controllable and understandable to use

[@ahmednagy6383]

Do I need to download the experience launcher or is it on the latest driver ?1

[@igorthelight]

Neither - it's a standalone application. It will replace GeForce Experience in the future. Fun fact: drivers are NOT Nvidia Control Panel nor GeForce Experience. You could delete both of them and your videocard would still work the same - you couldn't just change any settings.

[@crashbug4343]

Should have had this 10 years ago. Always thought AMD Adrenalin looked way nicer which is indeed surprising for how cutting edge nvidia likes to push their features and software development. Glad to see it better late than never!

[@thehaeggarr1625]

It's weird, that the redeem button is so prominent.. How often do you use it?

[@Apollopayne25]

Is the nvidia shield section still there? As use it for moonlight streaming games to firestick

[@Tooob]

Honestly, you shouldn't be using that anymore. Sunshine (open source) is far better than using Nvidia GFE/GameStream. I switched to installing the bare Nviida driver and using Sunshine for streaming. On Moonlight via the fire stick, everything remains the same. Read the Ars Technica article "Nvidia’s GameStream is dead" if you don't believe me.

[@ricepony33]

Can or could it install shaders?

[@BlackChicken710]

I downloaded newest drivers yesterday and i didnt get it, is it out only for select group of ppl, i am in the EU if that matters?

[@igorthelight]

You have to download it yourself

[@terminalvelocity4858]

Functionality > Looks

[@TSGGaming7803]

dose is there inside livestream options live twitch and yutube facebooks

[@SmokeDoinks420]

yea but is it gonna mess with the performance of my gtx 1060 6g like every driver update usually does.

[@JhonDoe-ny1rn]

Can someone explain me why NVIDIA overlay can't show CPU temp even after all updates? Have to use 3rd party software because of it

[@ItzTheDay]

All the 551.XX drivers are scaling/stretching a 16:9 image to fill my 32:9 monitor, no matter what I have the scaling options set to. I've always ran no scaling performed on display and has worked fine. 16:9 images displayed as 16:9 on my 32:9 monitor. Very frustrating.

[@DDHDTV]

does anybody know if VRR works on a monitor if I'm using it in window mode?

[@phantom6009]

My microphone is not working anymore when recording with the new nvidia panel please can someone help me on that

[@richiegore1]

Does gamestream still work?

[@xzraiderzx308]

Please tell me they got rid of the baffling mouse acceleration with the new overlay

[@koseichampollion3348]

Old doesn’t always mean outdated. If it works, don’t change it. I personally don’t care about “modern UI”, especially for something you merely access every few months.

[@sarunas8638]

still you cant disable or enable gsync switch color to full 255 and so mich more settings.

[@frostbanshee183]

5:24 Is this gonna be a problem when I want to play an older PC game and the “New” control panel doesn’t have the old settings? Why can’t Nvidia include everything from the old control panel to the new one?

[@fastfiddler1625]

It's like a journey through time every time I need to circumvent in game v-sync or I'm in a hotel trying to connect to a TV and I have to manually adjust the scaling because for some reasons their TVs can't just always "just scan."

[@LukewarmEnthusiast]

Hi Tim! In your conversiations with Nvidia, did they mention anything about adding an equivalent to Wattman at some point?

[@Kizzster]

No mention of RTX HDR? Something new I haven't seen before (in the Nvidia app).

[@mirafu3481]

Do i have to uninstall the old nvidia driver and control panel first?

[@boringmir2]

probably not, i would think

[@zaselimgamingvideos6881]

Is the control gone or still exist incase if anyone wanna use it? I always liked nvidia control panel with all its feature. The dual screen setup, the color settings (included dynamic settings), 3d settings, individual settings for games/applications.

[@theclosedbox]

GREEN TEAM : Can i copy your homework? RED TEAM: Yes but make it different ...

[@nicholaswicks3077]

The hate on the control panel is crazy it literally works fine who cares if it looks outdated

[@OhJase]

The two main issues for me personally is the lack of a dark mode option and just how slow it feels compared to other apps on my system. If they just fixed those two things then I'd have no complaints

[@BarkerVancity]

since when was logging in an issue?

[@snivels]

Is this available now? Or in a future release?

[@igorthelight]

It's in Beta for now.

[@maurolamarques2555]

Can suporte old cards?

[@CsTruth]

Some games like Granblue Fantasy Relink, when you turn HDR on in the NVIDIA app the game just doesn't boot up at all. Very sad :(

[@Magnum69]

Exciting stuff! Especially the overlay stuff

[@Omarock]

The only thing I don't like is how you can't tell if you saved an instant replay clip anymore. In the old Geforce experience, it used to show an arrow when you pressed the instant replay button.
