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.

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

        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?

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

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