I never noticed perf issues despite everyone online telling you to disable the NVIDIA app/overlay.

Can't believe people need someone to tell them this.

While I understand where you're coming from in going to be honest

1. I'm in the camp of I don't care
2. I'll believe superstitions about this app because I've been using that windows 95 panel since 2006
3. I hate change
4. I hate Nvidia
5. I have a 5080

Overlay is going back on! Thx

 

[bender]

I turned my overlay off just in case. Thx

I like seeing all those popup messages when I startup a game. Let's me know that all that money I spent is actually working in the background.

The app itself does not, but you gotta watch out for what you use because stuff like recording, RTX HDR, radiance, filters, and more, do have a performance impact and using many of them at once can significantly affect system performance.

I'm more worried about burn-in when having the fps info etc activated in the top corner. Probably just as silly.

I turn everything off for the simple fact that it is eaier to troubleshot for a problem when you have less possible causes, and in the past, when i researched for some games, nvidia app and overlays were definitely listed as possible causes, even if it is rare.

 

[Hideous Snake]

Never had an issue with any so where did all of this come from to begin with?

 

[Magic Carpet]

I've seen at least one time that the Nvidia overlay caused an issue when I was playing a VR game. I've already forgotten which game it was. But I turned off the overlay.
Also I remember Pragmata crashing at the home base upgrade menu and diabling the overlay fixed it.
I wonder if that got fixed in one of the updates.
