NVIDIA has a new app to help you get the best experience on your gaming PC. The aptly named "NVIDIA app" simplifies the process of keeping your PC up to date and fine-tuning game and program performance. It includes several features from the GeForce Experience and RTX Experience, but it gathers them together in a unified app that also includes a long list of new features.

"The NVIDIA App is the essential companion for PC gamers and creators. Keep your PC up to date with the latest NVIDIA drivers and technology," explains NVIDIA on its download page for the NVIDIA app. "Optimize games and applications with a new unified GPU control center, capture your favorite moments with powerful recording tools through the in-game overlay, and discover the latest NVIDIA tools and software."

With the NVIDIA app, you can enhance games using AI-powered filters, assuming you have an RTX GPU. The app also features a new overlay for gameplay recording and performance monitoring overlays.

In addition to having new features to enhance gameplay and app performance, the NVIDIA app is quicker than its predecessor. NVIDIA boasts that its new app is 50% more responsive than GeForce Experience.
