Nvidia has slapped a fresh coat of paint on its software suite with a brand new utility called the 'Nvidia App' that unifies the ancient Nvidia Control Panel and newer GeForce Experience applications. The new app will merge all of Nvidia's outgoing applications into one unified interface for easier navigation. The app is available in beta form and can be downloaded now.
This update has been a long time coming, as Nvidia hasn't updated its core driver interface in a long time. Nvidia's Control Panel has looked nearly the same today as it did during the Windows XP era. Sometimes the lack of change can be beneficial — everything is right where you remember — but I still remember pulling up the same Nvidia control panel we have today on my Pentium 4 rig way back in the late 2000s featuring a Nvidia GeForce 8400GS.
The lack of any UI updates makes ye olde Control Panel a familiar place, with settings still in the same location after all these years. Its age also improves reliability — no major changes means no new bugs. Nonetheless, Nvidia was bound to finally scrap the old interface for something more modern, and that day has finally come. Or at least, there's a beta of where things are headed.
