The Nvidia app is still way behind AMD but in the right direction. I installed it but it's basically one page for settings and another page for the game profiles. Very bare bones.
I really didn't see the problem with the old one, it did everything it was supposed to do and was simple to use. What on earth are people doing to spend so much time in a driver control panel that they feel it isn't up to scratch? Now we have a bloated heap of crap with junk in it that I will never use such as Geforce experience and it looks like they will be pushing games at us (probably gpu's as well) through it so even more advertising to put up with. On top of that we could be seeing the first ever 1GB+ driver downloads. It's a driver!! Why the hell do we need a app? I suppose this will now kill off being able to cut down the driver so that we can do a minimum install.
Would this effect nVidia inspector out of interest
I have a bad feeling this in time will break a lot of apps like this and they will enforce logging in to use its full features in time, if we didn't need to login as they state why do they still have the login rubbish ?

Its not functional though, half of the options settings in the drivers are useless in modern games, thats how old it is and never mind the external applications you needed to actually have the option of fully using the GPU.Old control panel is best, no bloat no navigating through endless sub menus just straight up functional.
Once peope get a taste of the new bloat watch the posts pop up saying how good the old control panel was.
They wont miss it till it's gone

NV inspector should never of been a thing outside of the official drivers.
Since you've asked: commonly exposed settings sync in profiles between NvCPL, NvApp and NvProfileInspector. Meaning that changing such in one of them will be reflected in others next time you'll open them.
HOWEVER NvApp has a borked "add a program" option right now which doesn't allow you to remove the added program - and removing the profile created by NvApp with NvCP/NvProfileInspector doesn't help either as NvApp will re-add it on its next launch.
So don't use that for now.
ALSO NvApp has no option of showing all driver profiles present and only show games which it detected (in disk folders you specify in app's settings). So adding a custom profile in NvCP/NvProfileInspector and editing it later in NvApp doesn't work either.
It is a beta, yes.
Thanks for the feedback. I've asked our NVApp team to look into this.
I couldn't really care less about the UI, it's great that's been updated to look more modern but like all modern designed apps, lots of wasted space but like I have always said, I never needed to go in the CP to do tweaks or anything, same with radeon control panel (well except for when my settings would reset for whatever reason which was a pita)
Biggest things for me with these drivers is:
- DLDSR res being able to be applied without having to switch in windows before for the games that don't have a true exclusive fullscreen i.e. most dx 12 titles
- RTX HDR (way better than windows auto hdr and far less faff/issues than you would get with special k)
- in future, looks like dlss swapper/tweaks functionality will be in the nvidia app (so no need for dlss tweaks or dlss swapper)
Those are actual game changers now.
Clock controls will be nice but alas, I'll still be keeping msi ab and rt as it's performance monitoring is better unless nvidia add frame latency/pacing, vram dedicated and allocated metrics as well as cpu clocks etc.
thanks for this. Not needing to login is niceThe app is very fast, not bloated and doesn’t need a login. The new overlay is way faster as well. Recordings at 120fps and 250mbps.
Best part though is RTX HDR. It’s miles ahead of Auto HDR and even some in game implementations. I’ll personally be using it for every game.
I've only tried one game so far withg the new filters (immortals of aveum) and RTX Dynamic Vibrance in SDR and RTX HDR in HDR looks about the same to me. Maybe the RTX HDR is broken and not working but yeah it looks the same as RTX Vibrance
I do like RTX vibrance and also Sharpen+. After spend an hour playing with settings, I'm gonna play the game with RTX Vibrance on and the Sharpen+ filter on
My only other complaint is mouse input lag - the nvidia app when its open seems to introduce additional mouse input lag
RTX HDR only works if you disconnect any other monitors :/
RTX Vibrance and HDR have nothing to do with eachother? did you apply the HDR filter and restart the game and then check to see if it's activated?
