Nvidia has been making an attempt all yr to get its customers onto the beta model of the Nvidia App, its new omnibus app for drivers, settings, and promos. This transfer may lastly do it, although: the Nvidia App is now out of beta and able to retire its predecessor.
Whereas GeForce Expertise will nonetheless work when you’ve got it put in, it’s now not being bundled with Nvidia’s frequent GPU updates, and it in all probability gained’t be lengthy earlier than this system is put out to pasture.
For those who haven’t tried it, the all-in-one Nvidia App is fairly good. It combines options from GeForce Expertise and the seldom-used Nvidia Management Panel right into a unified interface, together with driver updates, system-wide and per-game graphics settings, monitor and video tweaks, and Nvidia’s promotional goodies (like some free in-game foreign money and goodies for Throne and Liberty).
It doesn’t do all the pieces, although. Extra superior instruments, like GeForce Now sport streaming and Nvidia Broadcast, are linked and open in separate home windows. And there are nonetheless a couple of small instruments that aren’t within the UI but, as Nvidia admits in its announcement submit, like Nvidia Encompass that may span digital areas throughout a number of screens for enjoying video games on two or three shows without delay.
Like GeForce Expertise earlier than it, the Nvidia App isn’t strictly needed, and you’ll set up drivers to your GeForce GPU utilizing a separate, standalone course of on each laptops and desktops. And Nvidia additionally provides you the choice of operating the App and downloading drivers with out logging into an account, which is one thing I recognize. Gotta hold that taskbar notification space lean!
