Approaching the end of February, Nvidia has unveiled a new PC application that merges the functionalities of the Nvidia Control Panel and GeForce Experience. This fresh Nvidia app is now open for beta testing by PC users, requiring only a compatible Nvidia GeForce graphics card and the latest Nvidia Game Ready or Studio Drivers.

Traditionally, Nvidia provided users with two distinct avenues to customize the visuals and performance of various PC games. While the Nvidia Control Panel, reminiscent of early 2000s software, offered options like frame rate capping and texture filters adjustments, the GeForce Experience streamlined game-specific settings optimization and swift delivery of GeForce Drivers. Additionally, GeForce Experience enabled Nvidia GPU users to apply Nvidia Freestyle game filters, altering color palettes in compatible titles.

Despite being in open beta, Nvidia's new app empowers PC gamers with an all-in-one solution. Available for download on Nvidia's website or the GeForce Experience app, this new app supersedes the existing GeForce Experience. Featuring sections for checking Game Ready and Studio Driver updates, tweaking graphics settings for installed games, and redeeming rewards for specific titles, the left panel offers a comprehensive experience. Users with compatible RTX cards, such as the RTX 4080 SUPER, can leverage new AI-driven features like RTX Dynamic Vibrance and RTX HDR through the app, enhancing visuals in compatible games. Moreover, the app provides direct access to GeForce Now and other Nvidia applications.

Details and Requirements for Nvidia App Beta

• Requires Windows 10 or 11 and Nvidia GeForce Driver Version 551.52 or later
• Replaces GeForce Experience, allowing access to GeForce Now and other Nvidia apps
• Consolidates most graphical options from GeForce Experience and Nvidia Control Panel
• Introduces new features like RTX HDR and RTX Dynamic Vibrance for compatible GPUs

While the Nvidia Control Panel remains accessible for certain options like Texture Filtering, not yet integrated into the new Nvidia app, beta participants must possess an Nvidia graphics card capable of running GeForce Driver version 551.52 or higher, released on February 21. The latest Nvidia Game Ready Driver brought optimizations for Nightingale and fixed issues with Nvidia Freestyle filters not saving correctly post-game closure.

Following the launch of this new app and Nvidia's recent financial success, the tech giant continues to shine in the industry spotlight. The upcoming beta testing phase will determine the smoothness of the new PC app's integration.
