Since the beginning of the year, the Geforce Experience for controlling your Nvidia graphics cards has been on the sidelines. In its place is the Nvidia app, which has been available in a preview version since March 2024. Like the manufacturer as part of a new update Now explained, the beta phase should end this year.
For you this means: In the coming months, both the traditional “Geforce Experience” and the somewhat outdated Nvidia system control (“Control Panel”) will be combined into a single application.
If you haven’t used the beta phase of the Nvidia app, you will be “migrated” to it before the end of the year, as the company continues to say.
By then, not only should all functions from the control panel and the most important ones from the Geforce Experience be taken over, but new features should also be introduced. This includes video recording with AV1 and 120 frames per second was introduced last June.
The update to the Nvidia app itself introduces three new features. This is how it was done in the Beta version 10.0.3.152 die Setting for your G-Sync monitors adopted, which was previously only found in the Nvidia control panel.
Under “System” you will find the well-known G-Sync settings.
In addition, the update to the Nvidia app also introduces the function called “RTX HDR” for multi-monitor set-ups.
This means you can now bring videos with the SDR color space into the HDR range on several screens at the same time, so to speak, at the push of a button. The feature was announced last February:
Last but not least, there is a completely new function in the Nvidia app: If a new graphics driver causes you problems, you can uninstall it using the “rollback” feature and revert to the previous driver version. The corresponding button can be found in the “Drivers” tab at the bottom of the screen.
Bye bye, Geforce Experience and Control Panel: Will you miss the two Nvidia applications or are you happy that the setting options are finally being modernized? What design preferences and options should Nvidia add to the app? Let us know in the comments!
