The NVIDIA App beta is getting new features carried over from the legacy NVIDIA Control Panel including display settings, RTX Video Super Resolution, and RTX Video HDR. Since its introduction in February this year, the transition is ongoing to replace the legacy GeForce Experience and the aforementioned Control Panel.
New NVIDIA App Features
The new app’s display settings can now be found in the NVIDIA App via System tab > Displays. In its current form, the feature only supports basic display controls like resolution and orientation, though the company says more advanced features, including G-SYNC settings, custom resolutions, multi-monitor, and NVIDIA Surround will be added at a later date.
Moreover, under System > Video is where you can find the RTX Video settings. Both RTX Video Super Resolution and RTX Video HDR taps into RTX GPUs’ Tensor Cores to sharpen and enhance the videos in web browsers. The feature is also supported in a special version of VLC Media Player with RTX Video support.
The Graphics tab now allows for alphabetical sorting and filtering of games and apps, and users can hide entries from the list by clicking the three dots on the top right of the program info. The Statistics Overlay now includes FPS 1% Low stats and other real-time data; additionally, the app now supports non-English languages, and ChatRTX is now situated in the home page (under ‘Discover’ section) where users can install it as needed.
Finally, NVIDIA is now offering free 1 month of access to PC Game Pass for new Xbox Game Pass members. To claim one, sign into your NVIDIA account and redeem them via GeForce Experience or the NVIDIA App. All users with systems running GeForce GTX 10 series and above are eligible.
Pokdepinion: New updates coming along nicely – hopefully no bugs this time around though.
