Nvidia is rolling out a new update to its unified app on August 19, introducing several enhancements aimed at replacing the older control panel and improving user experience across supported GPUs.
Control Panel Integration Expands
The update adds anisotropic filtering, anti-aliasing, and ambient occlusion settings directly to the Nvidia app. These options, previously accessible only through the legacy control panel, will now be available in the new interface. The app will also incorporate configuration tools for Nvidia Surround, reducing the need to open multiple software tools for display management.
Global DLSS Override
Users will no longer need to adjust DLSS override settings for each game individually. A new global DLSS option allows preferences to be applied across all supported titles. The Nvidia overlay will now display active DLSS settings when the override is enabled, offering more visibility into performance configurations.
Smooth Motion Expands to RTX 40-Series
Nvidia’s Smooth Motion feature, initially available only on RTX 50-series GPUs, is now supported on the RTX 40-series as well. This driver-level AI enhancement is designed to improve gameplay smoothness in titles that do not support DLSS Frame Generation. It works with DLSS Super Resolution, native rendering, and other upscaling methods. Nvidia claims the feature can double the perceived frame rate in supported scenarios.
The update also modifies the backend model of Project G-Assist, Nvidia’s AI-powered game assistant. The revised model now uses 40% less memory without affecting response time or performance. According to Nvidia, the assistant should respond faster to in-game prompts or system-level queries.
The updated Nvidia app will be available to beta users starting August 19, and a wider release is expected the following week.
