NVIDIA App Update Boosts Performance in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Series and Other Games

NVIDIA has released an update for its main application, the NVIDIA App. The latest version of the app has received a number of additions, affecting both the list of supported games and the overall stability of the software.

One of the key new features is the integration of optimized graphics settings for seven titles. The utility can now automatically select a configuration to balance performance and image quality in games such as EA SPORTS FC 26, Silent Hill f, and Battlefield 6. This will be useful for those who want to quickly set up their graphics without having to dive deep into the settings.

The developers have also significantly expanded the catalog of games in which users have the ability to force-enable DLSS upscaling technology. This list includes eleven titles, including all three remasters from the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series—"Shadow of Chernobyl," "Clear Sky," and "Call of Pripyat." Players can now experiment with boosting their frame rates even in projects where this option wasn't originally implemented by the developers.

In addition to new features, the update brings a number of technical fixes. A bug that caused the Game Filter and Photo Mode features to disappear in all languages except English has been resolved. The update also fixes incorrect DLSS stat display and includes a number of changes to improve the overall stability of the app. The latest version of the software can be downloaded from the official NVIDIA website.

Against this backdrop, experiments by enthusiasts are generating interest. As previously reported, they have managed to adapt the newest Reflex 2 latency-reduction system to work even on RTX 20- and 30-series video cards. This allows owners of older hardware to try out technologies that the company initially announced as exclusive to new GPUs.
