Nvidia Geforce Experience is now dead. It is being replaced by a new Nvidia App that will redo the full software experience bundled with the company's graphics cards. The app unites all the GPU control software the company has launched before and builds up on what the existing solutions offer.
Besides Geforce Experience, the classic Nvidia Control Panel is also being discontinued. Several players had been complaining about its old-school looks. Moreover, with multiple apps like Nvidia Omniverse, Broadcast, and Canvas, the experience had gotten cluttered, an issue that the new app aims to fix.
The Nvidia App, stylized as NVapp, aims to offer gamers an unified experience. Let's go over all of its features.
What's new with Nvidia App and why is Geforce Experience going away?
The new Nvidia App is fundamentally different from what Geforce Experience offered. It is primarily targeted at making the overall software easy to use and quickly accessible to users, allowing you to jump into your game or productivity software as quickly as possible.

The app unifies the cluttered Nvidia software suite, which was divided into the Geforce Experience, Nvidia Control Panel, Broadcast App, and many more till now. Moreover, the Control Panel had a very old-school look and hadn't been updated to keep pace with modern software. Thus, one of the integral updates with NVapp is a visual overhaul.
Nvidia has designed a specific Home page for the new app that bundles the latest news from the graphics card maker, your video games library, and a Discover tab that will feature the latest rendering and AI technologies from the company designed to deliver better gaming experiences.
New features in the Nvidia App
Nvidia has gotten rid of some fundamental complaints with the older Geforce Experience app, including the mandatory login functionality that many find annoying. You can use the new app without creating an account, which usually requires your email ID and a password. The process is frictionless and much more user-friendly.
However, logging in with an email ID still gives you access to some key features like video game bundles with Nvidia hardware, and Geforce Rewards, a newly introduced feature with the App. For starters, you can now get a Call of Duty Double XP token when you log in to the app. You should note, however, that the offer only stands as long as the beta of the Nvidia App is live.
Moreover, the app now has a new Unified GPU Control Center that takes all the customization options from Geforce Experience and the Nvidia Control Panel and brings them under one page. You can customize game-specific settings to global rendering options and driver settings from a single tab.
The Drivers tab in the new app has also been reworked into a more sleek and organized page. The basics remain the same and the layout is quite identical to that of Geforce Experience. However, now you get a quick look into what has been improved with the latest updates, what has been fixed, and more.
Besides this, the game overlay has an updated gamer-friendly design that doesn't cover up all of the screen anymore. It now opens up a tab on the left of the screen with quick links to Photo Mode, Shadowplay, Instant Replay, Highlights, the Gallery, and other features. Shadowplay has also been updated to record up to 120 FPS videos.
The new Nvidia App will leverage AI to deliver better gaming experiences
The new Nvidia App will also pack some new AI features targeted at delivering better gaming experiences. The company has showcased a new RTX Dynamic Vibrance feature that can deliver much better saturation, contrast, and colors than what was possible via the Control Panel. The feature has been AI-enhanced to get the better results.
The app also bundles a new RTX HDR tech to deliver much better colors naturally even in unsupported games. According to the company, only a handful of the most popular games have native support for the high dynamic range tech. Hence, this feature will come in handy for gamers to get better contrast ratios and color balance on high-end monitors.
How to download the Nvidia App
The new Nvidia App is in the beta stage for now. The Geforce Experience and Control Panel apps will continue to be available for gamers to use during this period. However, once the App launches fully, Nvidia will be scrapping the older software altogether.
For now, you can download NVapp from the official Nvidia website. Do note the app is still in beta and might come with a few bugs here and there.
