NVIDIA
Since the official release of the new NVIDIA App to the public, there have been numerous reports indicating that it significantly impacts performance in certain games. Earlier, we shared an investigation by Tom’s Hardware, which confirmed that NVIDIA App causes framerate drops of up to 15% and still requires further optimization.
However, as NVIDIA later confirmed, the frame time and stuttering issues were actually caused by Game Filter and Photo Mode, both features of the default overlay, which are enabled automatically. While many expected the developer to release an update for the NVIDIA App to address the issue, instead of a patch, it has disabled the Game Filter option by default in version 11.0.1, which seems as a temporary fix for the problem.
NVIDIA didn’t specify when the Game Filter issue will be fully resolved, and at this point, we can expect the fix to arrive next year.
If you missed this, Game Filter are a set of real-time post-processing filters that allow you to customize a game’s appearance. These filters can add a retro look or adjust color and contrast for a more photorealistic feel, enhance the atmosphere, or make older games more visually appealing. They can also be used to accommodate color vision deficiency and even reduce the amount of blue light emitted, helping you sleep better after a night of gaming.
Additionally, NVIDIA has released a GeForce Hotfix Display Driver, version 566.45, which is based on the latest Game Ready Driver. This update specifically addresses intermittent micro-stuttering in Indiana Jones and the Great Circle and improves stability for Ubisoft games running on the Snowdrop engine.
