The tool developed by NVIDIA was initially designed to optimize games. It is based on many internal tests and artificial intelligence, so that we have the best performance in games. In addition, it notifies us when new drivers are available (once every 1-3 months)
But, little else allows us to do this tool. It does allow us to record games or stream, but this is already integrated into the Xbox Game Bar, which is natively integrated into Windows. So this function is really irrelevant and if we compare it with the competition, the truth is ridiculous.
AMD does know how to make software for gamers
NVIDIA’s software for gamers has fallen by the wayside, watered down. It was intended to be great software, but in reality it is of no interest. Surely, you have used it as many times as I have or less (I could count them on the fingers of one hand)
when i saw the update AMD Radeon Adrenalin software that changed radically, hallucinate. It seems to me a really brutal software, with all the functions that the NVIDIA application wants to have. Can see the temperature, voltages, working frequency or rotation speed of the fansit’s great.
But, it is that Windows already gives us part of this information. if we go to Task Manager we can see the graphics card usage, VRAM and temperature Of the same. Come on, integrating these functions for NVIDIA engineers should be a piece of cake.
Other things I like about AMD’s software is that you can make adjustments. We can modify the frequencies, make adjustments to the fan ramp and other characteristics. It also integrates game optimization and the option to record screen or stream.
AMD has even developed a smartphone app to control Adrenalin. Come on, it is a multiplatform and very complete software with which we can do everything. Meanwhile, the NVIDIA software has the original 2-3 functions, which are useless.
Should NVIDIA put the batteries
We are not going to be naive, NVIDIA has the best graphics cards on the market. That they consume a lot and without faces, that is totally true and correct, but they sell much more. One of the reasons for this is the great branding of the company, things, as they are.
The problem is that the user looks at performance and price, not everything that surrounds the graphics card. If the user also entered to assess these aspects, NVIDIA would have a huge problem.
I’m not just talking about GeForce Experience, which is crappy software, but also drivers, for example. I think AMD has stepped up and makes better controllers. In addition, it has not focused only on Ray Tracing, which has not yet taken off. They have tried to balance everything and in the end, they have a very good core product with add-ons that give it extra value.
In short, it’s about time NVIDIA got rid of so much DLSS, ray tracing, and barely used plugins, and upgraded this comprehensive software all at once.
