Hot Take:

Nvidia’s new app is taking “gaming performance” a bit too literally—by performing a vanishing act on your frame rates! Remember, nothing says “next-gen gaming experience” quite like uninstalling an app for smoother gameplay. Maybe Nvidia should rename their latest feature “The Houdini Filter”—now you see your frames, now you don’t!

Key Points:

  • Nvidia’s new app is causing gaming performance to plummet by up to 15% when Game Filters is enabled.
  • The company suggests disabling Game Filters and restarting the game as a temporary fix.
  • Users have reported that uninstalling the app results in more stable gameplay.
  • Tom’s Hardware confirmed the performance drop, akin to differences between GPU models.
  • The NVIDIA App aims to keep drivers current and optimize settings for over 1000 games.
