Does the NVIDIA App cripple your PC gaming performance? (Answer: no it does not) (www.dsogaming.com)

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 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?

Ridiculous that this is even a discussion.
