Nvidia's new app causes game performance drops of up to 15 percent

Nvidia's new app, launched last month, has been reported to cause game performance drops of up to 15 percent. Testing shows significant dips in various games, with Assassin’s Creed Mirage experiencing a 12 percent drop at 1080p Ultra. Nvidia identified the issue as related to the Game Filters and Photo Mode features, which can affect performance even when not actively used. The company recommends disabling these options or uninstalling the app to restore performance. Users of the older GeForce Experience software avoid performance issues but are limited to outdated drivers. The latest driver updates require using the new Nvidia app or manual installation.
