NVIDIA App FAQ

The NVIDIA app is an essential companion for NVIDIA RTX GPU owners. Designed for both professional use and content creation, the NVIDIA app keeps your PC updated with the latest NVIDIA drivers. The NVIDIA app allows you to fine-tune GPU and driver settings from a single place, while introducing a redesigned screen overlay for convenient access to system settings and performance monitoring. You can also access and install NVIDIA applications like ChatRTX, NVIDIA Broadcast, and NVIDIA RTX™ Desktop Manager.

The NVIDIA app is a first step in our journey to modernize and unify the NVIDIA Control Panel, NVIDIA® RTX Experience™, and GeForce Experience™ apps. Stay tuned to nvidia.com for more updates on the NVIDIA app.

Users can get NVIDIA RTX drivers through the NVIDIA app and nvidia.com. We recommend trying out the NVIDIA app, which offers 30% faster installation times than RTX Experience as well as the ability to roll back to a previously installed driver.

No, the NVIDIA app will remove NVIDIA RTX Experience during the installation process.

3D settings from the NVIDIA Control Panel have been integrated into the NVIDIA app and can be accessed there directly. However, for workstation features, such as NVIDIA® Mosaic™ and display synchronization with Quadro Sync II, users will still need to use the NVIDIA Control Panel to configure them.

We have removed the feature to directly upload recorded content to Twitch, YouTube, and Facebook.

No. NVIDIA app will not integrate Experimental Features from NVIDIA RTX Experience  (i.e., multi-driver rollback).

Yes, for the time being we will include the Control Panel in the driver package for workstation related features.
