NVIDIA's companion software (GeForce Experience, NVIDIA Broadcast, NVIDIA App) can cause game crashes, stuttering, and performance issues. These apps use GPU resources for overlays, recording, and AI features.
How to fix it:
- Disable the In-Game Overlay: GeForce Experience > Settings > General > In-Game Overlay > Off
- Close NVIDIA Broadcast before launching demanding games — its AI noise removal and background blur use significant GPU power
- Disable ShadowPlay/Instant Replay if you don't need it — it reserves GPU resources and VRAM
- In NVIDIA App (replacement for GeForce Experience), disable all overlay features
- Check Task Manager for NVDisplay.Container.exe, NVIDIA Share.exe, and other NVIDIA processes consuming CPU/GPU
- If you don't need these features, uninstall GeForce Experience/NVIDIA App entirely — the GPU driver works fine without it
- Update NVIDIA software to the latest version if you want to keep it — older versions have more conflicts
