Deactivate the Nvidia overlay to increase the performance of your graphics card

[Van der Lav]

Nvidia cards have a known issue with their software. Turning off the Nvidia Overlay can help prevent FPS drops. After disabling this feature, users often notice a 15% increase in overall PC performance and a 20-30 FPS improvement in games.

Карти Nvidia мають відому проблему з програмним забезпеченням. Вимкнення Nvidia Overlay може допомогти запобігти падінню FPS. Після вимкнення цієї функції користувачі часто помічають збільшення загальної продуктивності ПК на 15% та приріст в 20-30 FPS в іграх.

I heard the issue's with their Nvidia App in particular, so just keep ignoring that update.

Pretty much. Just disable it entirely until your next restart or till next driver update.
That's no rumor. Disable that piece of ♥♥♥♥ and enjoy the game. It's Ansel being integrated into the app. Few older games on older app were screwed up just like Stalker.

I just saw this video on YT about it:

(39 seconds in just in case it doesn't allow the timestamp on the link)

Anyone can just install the nvidia drivers, leave out the nvidia experience, it is simply bloatware and anyone can do a better job of tweaking their system than that PoS app...

Optimizing your system to squeeze all the blood out of a game used to be part of the hobby, and if you didn't like that you got a console. So think about getting a console if you NEED nvidia experience...

Yeah supposed it could work for people but still don't wanna uninstall it entirely.
On old app, Cyberpunk in Dogtown ran like a double ass until i disabled it. That was about 3-4 months ago. Seems like that problem is deeply imbued within all Nvidia related stuff.

Yes, this application causes a lot of problems. Its only benefit is the convenience of quickly updating drivers and monitoring the GPU temperature, but if it costs 20% of the computer's performance, this garbage should be removed from the PC.

I have no problem with NVIDIA Overlay or MSI Overlay here.

Hadn't had any serious performance issues with the game but uninstalled Geforce Experience just to be on the safe side.

Never used it anyway, only to check for and download/install new drivers. Will just have to check for new Nvidia drivers periodically.

You need to know, one of the FIRST troubleshooting steps for problems with any game is to disable any-and-all overlays, steam, MSI Afterburner, etc etc etc... What does that say about overlays...?

Checking for drivers depends on what GPU you have. If it is more than one or two generations old then IMHO, no, do not update drivers IF you have no problems. Companies are not spending time=$$$ to ensure compatibility with old hardware. Need to think about that. Good luck!
