Yeah, run 20 random poorly optimized things like this and you got 100%.
NVIDIA bad and all that, but people are running the overlay, Shadowplay, filters, and whatnot and are shocked, that their performance is lower.
Yeah I thought the same, of course this all costs performance.
it's like people who complain they paid for 1gb up/down, but only get 950mbps at speedtest.net. of course some of it is lost in translation and data routing and hardware usage. every link between you and the end is going to reduce speed a bit.
your 250hp engine loses some where the wheels touch the asphalt too.
With how built up the apps are these days, and how much data they collect and upload back to corp HQ, it's good to check and confirm the performance impact.
Tom's hardware says it's a 15% dip from their testing. Anything above 1% is ridiculous. Glad I'm AMD
Always knew it was a good idea to dodge the Nvidia app. Everything running in the background can affect performance. I got by on low end hardware for years because I had an optimized system.
The game filters (postprocessing) didn't work for me so I reinstalled GeforceNow. It works there without even logging in.
