NVIDIA App Gets v11.0.1 Update, Disables Game Filters by Default

[GFreeman]

NVIDIA has released the newest v11.0.1 update for its NVIDIA App, and according to the release notes, it comes with a single new update that disables Game Filter by default. Previously, NVIDIA has released an official statement looking into reported performance issues related to Game Filter options in the NVIDIA App.

The NVIDIA app comes as a replacement for GeForce Experience software, which went out of the beta phase and became the default NVIDIA software application since the GeForce 566.33 driver update. Before the update, users were left with an option to manually disable Game Filter options in Settings > Features > Overlay > Game Filters and Photo Mode. Now, users are left with an option to manually enable the option in the same settings menu.



Here are the full release notes.

Something I note recently. Hardware company release software and firmware with lot's of bugs. Do they not test the software and firmware before release?

Maybe the tech press is now more honestly? I did not saw nvidia with issues before on the software side.

If app didn't start gameplay then FPS maybe will theoretically zero or infinity number? Schrodinger law.

Not the whole press, just one important tech site.

There is that "up to 15% slower" result after enabling the filters that it is difficult to cover up. But it could have been covered up in the past with no one realizing it in the first place.
Also the whole matter got published first by Tom's Hardware if I am not mistaken and Tom is one of the major tech sites out there with over 25 years of existence as a leading tech site. If Tom reports it, you can't hide it under the carpet, at least not easily.
Tom's was a pro Intel (and pro Nvidia) for over 25 years and they suddenly started favoring AMD recently, just after Intel's financial problems. I think Intel didn't cut only fruit and coffeee. They cut other expenses also. IN MY OPINION of course. So, if we do have a change in direction from Tom's we can expect even more articles in the future where things about Intel and Nvidia wouldn't be sugar coated and hidden under the carpet. It would be a nice change, bringing balance to the force ..... market.


Anyway, the mighty Nvidia with the best programmers out there could only offer one solution. Disabling filters. Just LOL.

I'm imagining a hypothetical 50 series video card advertising: "They're so powerful that even our own application can't resist of them."

I honestly. Don’t see the big deal. I mean I’m glad the default is off now; should have never launched like that. Shame on them.

But for years I have used shaders in games. From morrowind and the MGE allll the way to todays games using tools like reshade. They have always affected performance. So having them enabled atleast to me was more of a surprise then them taking performance.

100% this. There've always been bugs but most people didn't notice.

No it's actually version 11 at initial release. No joke.
