No, the NVIDIA app and overlay does not cause performance issues (Hardware Unboxed)

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

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 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.
