The NVIDIA app is a must-have if you have an NVIDIA GPU. Not only is it the default method for grabbing new drivers, but it also unlocks a slew of features. Now, you’re getting two new features that might change how you play your games.
NVIDIA is adding a couple of new updates to its NVIDIA app. The first and most important one is “Global DLSS Overrides.” This new feature allows you to enable and configure DLSS profiles from a single, global menu. Instead of needing to open each game individually to turn on features like DLSS Super Resolution or the RTX 50 Series-exclusive Multi Frame Generation, you can now apply a profile across hundreds of compatible titles at once. It makes it less of a painful process to actually sync everything across your games.
The update also brings a neat upgrade to Project G-Assist, the on-device AI assistant that allows users to tune their systems using voice and text commands. According to NVIDIA, the latest version is built on a significantly more efficient AI model that consumes 40% less memory. This smaller footprint results in a faster, more responsive assistant that can more accurately interpret commands and apply the correct system settings. Additionally, the app will reintroduce highly requested legacy 3D settings from the classic NVIDIA Control Panel. This will give you direct access to fine-tune options like anisotropic filtering, anti-aliasing, and ambient occlusion, which are particularly useful for enhancing the visual quality of classic games.
The company confirmed that over 175 games and applications now support its DLSS 4 technology suite, so these new streamlined app controls will be immediately useful for a slate of upcoming titles announced at Gamescom. Major releases like Borderlands 4 and Fate Trigger will launch with DLSS 4, while others like Resident Evil Requiem and Directive 8020 will implement full path tracing, an advanced form of ray tracing that simulates the physical properties of light for maximum realism.
In addition to this, NVIDIA is upgrading its GeForce NOW cloud gaming service with the new Blackwell architecture, providing GeForce RTX 5080-class performance at no extra cost to members. This update enables streaming at up to 5K resolution at 120 fps or 1080p at 360 fps, using technologies like DLSS 4 and NVIDIA Reflex to reduce latency. The platform’s game library will also now double to over 4,500 titles with a new “Install-to-Play” feature for Steam games, supported by 100GB of included cloud storage. New AAA games, including Borderlands 4, will also be added when the upgrade begins rolling out in September.
All of these updates are rolling out now, so keep an eye out for an update coming soon.
