KC4800 Posted November 13 Share Posted November 13 (edited) Anyone using the new NVIDIA app yet? Apparently NVIDIA will no longer be updating GFORCE Experience (no more having to login), so if you want the latest drivers you will need the app. The NVIDIA Control Panel features are also slowly being included in the app as well, so I would assume that will be going away too - eventually. I know this old title doesn't require the latest drivers to play, but, we're all computer gamers and still need to update our drivers when they come out. Any opinions? https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/software/nvidia-app/ Edited November 13 by KC4800 added the link 1 Victory: reserved for future use Indom: Schtick, Pummel Pete, Plymouth, Pilkington Reunion: Ghost Legacy, 7s7e7v7e7n7, Mind Funk, Bluto Excelsior: Phrendon Largo, Fred Bumbler, John van der Waals,Allamedia Jones, Tzapt, Sn1pe Torchbearer: Phrendon Largo, Kenny Letter, Bewm, La Merle, Enflambe', Rock Largo, Bulk of the Weather, Retired Phrendon Everlasting: Phrendon Largo, Krown, Buzz Words, Bicycle Repairman, Dee Fender, Carmela Soprano, Radmental Boy, Beet Salad, Sporanghi,Sue Ahn Cuddy, Fukushima Technician, Snow Globe Girl, Thug Therapist, Apple Brown Betty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psyonico Posted November 13 Share Posted November 13 AMD Radeon user here (and Linux to boot) so this doesn't apply to me... BUT... I personally hate that on Windows driver updates can be tied to software as opposed to just standalone installers. I have heard that Nvidia learned some stuff with the new app and so it doesn't take up quite as many resources running in the background though.

ZemX Posted November 13 Share Posted November 13 It looks a lot like Geforce Experience with a new name. I'm sure there are a few differences but odds are I will use it the same way I use Geforce Experience... to tell me when there are new drivers to install, and nothing else.

Ukase Posted November 13 Share Posted November 13 I'm sure others can chime in, but my gut says if you use it, disable every feature except the part where it notifies you of any new driver. Thus far, while I have NVIDIA GEForce RTX 3060, I don't have any app called NVidia app or GeForce Experience on my system. I have the NVidia Control Panel that I don't think I've ever used. If my drivers are out of date, so be it. Seems to work fine. I'm sure Microsoft or NVidia will send me some kind of annoying message that I need to update them if I need to.

KC4800 Posted Monday at 04:36 PM Author Share Posted Monday at 04:36 PM I installed the NVIDIA app and did as you suggested, turning off all unnecessary features, like automatically setting optimal variables for my video card. I will say the first thing it did was uninstall GFORCE Experience, which was getting extremely buggy as of late. (It would require you to sign in before allowing you to download the latest driver. Why? - And then the login window would not appear to work anyway unless I logged in as Administrator ) The NVIDIA Control Panel is still installed, but most of the setting you can change there you can change in the NVIDIA app as well. ANyway, it works. It's not buggy. I am ok with it.

This has been a "thing." And also part of why I'm looking forward to the app. Never having to sign in just to see if there's a driver.
