Nvidia got PC gamers a questionable holiday gift this year: worse performance in their games. That's according to testing done by Tom's Hardware, who found that playing PC games while running the recently launched Nvidia desktop app can reduce in-game frame rates by as much as 15 percent in some cases.

Nvidia recently updated some of its clutter of PC apps, including the GPU-controlling GeForce Experience, to a single Nvidia App. And while that makes for fewer icons in your system tray, it seems the new program’s AI features are potentially harming your gaming framerates.

Nvidia is aware of the Nvidia App issues and is working on fixes, but for now it recommends a simple workaround.
