But Lex, don’t you consider *checks* taking higher res game screenshots and applying filters to them like you are on Instagram a valuable core feature of the driver package?
Jokes aside, I agree. GFE was nice, I suppose, if one wanted to use something it offered, but it was a completely separate set of features from what is actually core to a GPU driver. Mashing it all together in a Chromium based web-app and forcing people to switch is just… Hopefully a workaround will be found when that becomes “mandatory” or NV comes to its senses and leaves the CP as an option.
The ability to use ReShade (ahem, "Freestyle") in cheat protected games is about the highlight of its feature set. I do not care about ShadowPlay at all - Mirillis Action! and OBS are both better softwares than it will ever be. In general, I don't really care much for GFE/NV App either
I quite like Adrenalin. If it means I don't have to use Rivatuner and Afterburner ever again I'm happy.
The NV App has re-added 1st party clock and fan controls for the first time in a very long time. As far as I can tell, it already contains most if not all features of the legacy NVCP already, although you'll still need things like Inspector to bury really deep into the driver settings IMO.
I've never used GeForce Experience ever, so this was the first time ever having something like this installed -- it only recognized about 20% of my installed games, and out of those most didn't even get any sort of adjustment, just an error message. I honestly would just rather handle these things manually. Or they could have passed them through Steam in the game's properties as an option and spared us having yet another launcher application.
The concern I have is that apparently this will eventually replace Nvidia Control Panel once all of the functionality is moved over to the app -- in which case I guess I'll just keep the overlay and game optimization disabled and use it only for global card settings.

Well, it detects the games I have installed, but the settings are nonsensical
It recommends me lowering settings in Genshin, despite the fact GPU handles the game with ease even at 120 fps (achieved with the help of an unlocker tool). Like, really, this is a 4080.
AMD had an "Upgrade Advisor" tool in the Radeon app that's been equally bad over the years, all it did was basically recommend "buy our latest and greatest k thx bye" with a link to Amazon, ultimately, I don't think these are designed with honesty in mind...
