Just do it now, GeForce Experience sucks. The app works better as an updater and it doesn't make you login.

Or use neither? There's no real advantage to having this bloatware. Just use the driver and nvcleaninstall for the updates

i mean there are features that the apps have to enhance the experience. especially this patch is the one that enables Nvidia RTX HDR for multi monitor setups (which gives a better HDR experiemce than Windows implementation of it).

if you only need a driver, sure you dont need the app, but just because you dont use all the features doesnt mean its completely bloatware/no real advantage. (and Im saying this from the POV that geforce experience was overly bloated).

Is rtx HDR not a driver feature? and they're simply putting the toggle switch in the app instead of the control panel like they have for everything else? I doubt that the functionality is actually embedded in this app.

Dudewitbow@lemmy.zip · 2 pts · 1y

its functionality put into the app. its a feature not a part of the control panel nor gfe and only the new app. it requires the app because its also not a binary function. it gives the user a sliding scale to adjust the debanding intensity of HDR, as its Nvidias own implementation of what is essentially auto HDR.

You're correct, there's no way to do this without it being a driver feature, but it seems like if they're not adding it to the control panel, they're using it as a carrot to get people to use the app

Album@lemmy.ca · 2 pts · 1y

Yep The filters feature appears to be the carrot. I did more reading after.

That said I'm sure it's just time before someone makes a lightweight tool that can control this.

RTX HDR does look better than Windows Auto HDR, but also comes with a much larger performance hit. Not saying it isn't worth it, but something to be aware of when choosing which to use.

No but it sounds similar

Blackmist@feddit.uk · 4 pts · 1y

I might do so then. Having to log in to a driver update program on my own pc is asinine.

Does the Nvidia app have gamestream? That’s all I care about

Blackmist@feddit.uk · 2 pts · 1y

Hasn't that been removed from the old one anyway? I remember having to go with Sunshine and Moonlight a while ago.

I like the overlay postprocessing effects for games that have measures against ReShade.

Hopefully never.
