The GPU’s PC Companion

The NVIDIA app turbocharges GeForce RTX GPUs with a bevy of applications, features and tools.

Keep NVIDIA Studio Drivers up to date — The NVIDIA app automatically notifies users when the latest Studio Driver is available. These graphics drivers, fine-tuned in collaboration with developers, enhance performance in top creative applications and are tested extensively to deliver maximum stability. They’re released once a month.

Discover AI creator apps — Millions have used the NVIDIA Broadcast app to turn offices and dorm rooms into home studios using AI-powered features that improve audio and video quality — without the need for expensive, specialized equipment. It’s user-friendly, works in virtually any app and includes AI features like Noise and Acoustic Echo Removal, Virtual Backgrounds, Eye Contact, Auto Frame, Vignettes and Video Noise Removal.

NVIDIA RTX Remix is a modding platform built on NVIDIA Omniverse that allows users to capture game assets, automatically enhance materials with generative AI tools and create stunning RTX remasters with full ray tracing, including DLSS 3.5 support featuring Ray Reconstruction.

NVIDIA Canvas uses AI to turn simple brushstrokes into realistic landscape images. Artists can create backgrounds quickly or speed up concept exploration, enabling them to visualize more ideas.

Enhance video streams with AI — The NVIDIA app includes a System tab as a one-stop destination for display, video and GPU options. It also includes an AI feature called RTX Video that enhances all videos streamed on browsers.

RTX Video Super Resolution uses AI to enhance video streaming on GeForce RTX GPUs by removing compression artifacts and sharpening edges when upscaling.

RTX Video HDR converts any standard dynamic range video into vibrant high dynamic range (HDR) when played in Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Mozilla Firefox or the VLC media player. HDR enables more vivid, dynamic colors to enhance gaming and content creation. A compatible HDR10 monitor is required.

Give game streams or video on demand a unique look with AI filters — Content creators looking to elevate their streamed or recorded gaming sessions can access the NVIDIA app’s redesigned Overlay feature with AI-powered game filters.

Freestyle RTX filters allow livestreamers and content creators to apply fun post-processing filters, changing the look and mood of content with tweaks to color and saturation.

Joining these Freestyle RTX game filters is RTX Dynamic Vibrance, which enhances visual clarity on a per-app basis. Colors pop more on screen, and color crushing is minimized to preserve image quality and immersion. The filter is accelerated by Tensor Cores on GeForce RTX GPUs, making it easier for viewers to enjoy all the action.
