We tested the Nvidia App performance problems — games can run up to 15 percent slower with the app
Maybe it should have stayed in beta a while longer?
(Image credit: Tom's Hardware)There were a few anomalies, like Stalker 2 at 1440p ultra ran faster with the App — but it was clearly running out of VRAM in either case, so the numbers weren't consistent. We sort of expected 1080p medium to show the largest delta, as that's more of a CPU-limited scenario, but the performance hit was mostly independent of the settings and resolutions we tested. At least one user reported up to a 15% performance loss in Black Myth: Wukong when testing an RTX 4080 Super paired with a Ryzen 7 9800X3D, so it could be that higher-performance GPUs are even more impacted.
