I don't trust the auto oc feature, Afterburner is the only way to maintain a stable and reliable OC/UV really.

Thanks Mark. I wasn't too bothered about using it, as such. Just interested in my findings. I'll probably mention what I had noted over in their forums at some point.
I don't wish to OC, just curious on what it did.

A combination of RTSS AB and HWiNFO64 seems to still have relevance over that of what can be done with the app at this point, and probably will do. Providing the dev of AB / RTSS will still continue with them. For now he seems to have gone AWOL. Oh, and requested his account to be deleted.

i find it very meh.

i used the overlays to add filters, which was cool for about 20 mins until it froze and the overlay couldn't be removed - so thats now disabled.

I'm in this boat too... meh meh meh.

I find that the way user interfaces are being developed across the board are genuinely adding to frustrations.
I would say that 70-80% of product updates are to look pretty but forgot to bother about the user interfacing with them.

Damn, I'm all wound up this afternoon :eek: hope I find that Christmas spirit soon :D
 
I would expect a little latency or some minor performance drops when using overlays and monitoring in general. But, for some maybe, there could be more occurring here...

We tested the Nvidia App performance problems — games can run up to 15 percent slower with the app

Maybe it should have stayed in beta a while longer?

I have not tested myself, but, for now, I am not using that app as an overlay nor have it enabled.
The findings, although not consistent, seem to scale with resolution. Perhaps. for me at 4k, meaning little hobnomolies should be factored, if occurring at all.

People need to chill, the issue is only present when game filters/photo mode (or RTX HDR which has an additional fps hit on top) is being used. If you never use game filters or RTX HDR, then merely having the overlay on for game recording or metrics etc does not drop the fps.

In fact... I noted the fps hits months ago on here in relation to game filters and later RTX HDR when Wukong came out. Seems I was ahead of the curve once again and now everyone else is finding out :cry:

I turned the overlay off (I'd not changed anything since installing except turning G-Sync on) and everything seems much smoother, particularly tabbing in and out of games.
