Does NVIDIA App Lower FPS? Tests Gave a Clear Answer
Summary
This article tests whether NVIDIA App reduces game FPS when it stays installed or runs in the background. The results show no meaningful performance loss from the app itself or its overlay in the tested games and GPU setups. ShadowPlay recording causes only a small FPS impact, generally around 2% to 3% at 1440p in the tested scenarios. The biggest slowdown appears when multiple game filters or stronger effects such as Sharpen+ are enabled. The practical takeaway is that users should keep or remove the app based on which features they actually use.
