It still has a ways to go, however the gap between NVIDIA App and Control Panel closes a bit more as updates roll out for the newer solution. NVIDIA App left Beta last November and has already replaced GeForce Experience because the go-to one-stop place for quick launching games or auto-tuning game settings. It also inherited the functionality to download the most recent game-ready drivers from GeForce Experience. Moreover, it has crossed over into NVIDIA Profile Inspector territory by enabling users to override newer features, similar to DLSS, to make use of the most recent versions and versions for games that support it.
Meanwhile, our old friend Control Panel still does every thing it has for over a decade now, and NVIDIA has often unceremoniously slipped in features for it lately as well. Nevertheless, the vast majority of its functions can be found within the NVIDIA App, and it could only be a matter of time until they’re all migrated over. From 3D settings including AA, MFAA, PhysX, Texture Filtering, and more, to multimonitor support and features to regulate laptop settings (Optimus), the list of added settings controls in NV App keeps growing. As mentioned by VideoCardz, it could only be a matter of time before CP is shipped to the pasture.
“The App already goes further by integrating performance metrics, autotuning (OC), overlay support, and even DLSS controls.”
-VideoCardz
Necessary options for changing display bit-depth still elude NVIDIA App, together with the numerous, many, other toggles present in NV Profile inspector, but with each update, something either gets fixed or a brand new feature is added, so the app is maturing rapidly, considering it still hasn’t been a yr since leaving Beta and has already received thirteen updates since version 10.0.0. NVIDIA continues so as to add support for more games with each update, as well which might be seen via recent release notes, and because of this update, users can now use NV App in offline mode.
Below is an outline from a recent Beta update, which needs to be followed by an Alpha release very soon.
