Nvidia has shared a temporary fix for an issue impacting systems running its recently unveiled NVIDIA App and causing gaming performance to drop by up to 15%. The company confirmed that these performance issues are triggered when the Game Filters option is enabled in the application.
Nvidia recommends disabling it and restarting the game as a workaround. This fix comes following widespread user reports regarding the app crippling PC gaming performance after enabling Game Filters or Photo Mode. Affected customers say that they were forced to uninstall the buggy app as it was still causing issues even after disabling the overlays and other filters.
"We are aware of a reported performance issue related to Game Filters and are actively looking into it," Nvidia staff said in a support forum thread published.
"You can turn off Game Filters from the NVIDIA App Settings > Features > Overlay > Game Filters and Photo Mode, and then relaunch your game."
The NVIDIA App companion application for Windows 10 and Windows 11 laptops and PCs with NVIDIA GPUs was officially released in mid-November following several betas. The app is designed to keep GeForce Game Ready and NVIDIA Studio drivers up to date and provide gamers with optimal settings for over 1000 games.
