Does the NVIDIA App cripple your PC gaming performance?

So, can you really get over 20FPS by simply uninstalling the NVIDIA App from your PC? Let's find out, shall we?

As we can see, there is a small performance hit with NVIDIA App. However, it’s nowhere close to what has been reported. On our PC system, it’s around 4-6%. And that’s mostly in CPU-bound areas. For instance, in Indiana Jones which is a GPU-bound game with Path Tracing, there isn’t any performance hit at all.

Ridiculous that this was even a discussion.

And what happens when you have other junk apps in your pc that also use only 5%?

and what is the benefit? why should I take a 5% CPU hit for an NVIDIA app?

Why does it even need to be using CPU cycles while in a game anyway?

If I’m only getting around 60-62 fps in a game, that’s enough for me to no longer get 60 fps anymore.

Yeah, run 20 random poorly optimized things like this and you got 100%.
