“We intend to migrate all remaining GeForce Experience users to the new NVIDIA app when the beta ends before the end of the year,” NVIDIA explains. “In future updates, we will continue to add the remaining NVIDIA Control Panel options, with the goal of unifying the NVIDIA Control Panel and the core features of GeForce Experience in one app, providing new features and additional improvements that provide our users with even more provide better experience to users.”

GeForce Experience fans may not be happy with this news, but in our experience, the NVIDIA app is a huge improvement. Here's what's been added in the latest update.

Added G-SYNC controls to GPU Control Center

The NVIDIA app hosts all detailed display settings via the NVIDIA Control Panel in a modern and clean interface. The latest update now adds G-SYNC controls. NVIDIA notes that only surround options, custom resolutions and multi-monitor options need to be added in a future update.

RTX HDR multi-monitor support

RTX HDR is one of the widely acclaimed new features of the NVIDIA app. It is an AI-powered tool that adds dynamic HDR to thousands of non-HDR games running on DirectX 9, 11, 12 and Vulkan APIs. One problem with this feature was that it didn't work for users with a multi-display or multi-monitor setup, but now it works.

New additions from user feedback

A cool feature for anyone who loves stats and performance overlays, NVIDIA has finally added options to change font color, size, and placement. It also expanded options for optimal gaming settings, added app-specific driver options, and added new filters to sort and hide the games and apps you see. Last but not least, there is a new option to roll back to a previously installed driver – which is great to see.”

The NVIDIA app update arrives together with the latest GeForce Game Ready 565.90 WHQL driver version.
