Check NVIDIA App > System > My Rig to see if any displays are connected to your GPU.

If it indicates "No display connected", there may be two applicable situations.

If this is a laptop or all-in-one (AIO) PC (computer integrated into display chassis):
Laptop displays are not connected to their dedicated GPUs, instead using the integrated GPU on the CPU. If your laptop model has a MUX switch, you can use it to bypass the iGPU. If it does not, you'll have to make the adjustments you want in your iGPU's control panel instead ("Intel Graphics Command Center" / "AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition"). Some higher-end gaming laptops may expose Advanced Optimus settings in the NVIDIA App, too.

AIO PCs are usually built similarly to laptops, and the same applies to them.

If using external displays for some laptops, it may be possible to still bypass the display output by having it go through a video port that is wired directly to the dGPU. You can check if this is the case by going to NVIDIA Control Panel > Configure PhysX, where a display topology will be shown. If there are any video outputs wired directly to the dGPU, they will be shown here within the box of your dGPU.

If this is a desktop PC:
Make sure all of your monitors are connected to the ports of your graphics card, not to the motherboard. If you are unsure or don't know what this means, take a picture of the back of your PC and send it into this channel.

Overlay only works if you have a mux switch

To turn on overlays on the NVIDIA App, please press the triangle button (located top right next to the Send Feedback/Bubble & Log In/Profile button). Alternatively, you can press the Alt+Z on your keyboard to open & close the overlay.

Toggle the performance stats with Alt+R. These stats will stay on the screen even if the main overlay is closed.

Note that the new NVIDIA app overlay has a different look than the GeForce Experience overlay. The new overlay menus/options are located on the side of the screen with the rest of the screen clear of obstruction, while the old overlay options are located on the center of the screen and dims the rest of the screen.

Any options regarding the overlay (such as recording, shortcut, heads-on display) can be accessed by opening the overlay and pressing the cogwheel button on the top right of the overlay.

If you want to turn off the overlay permanently, you can go to Settings > Features > Overlay > NVIDIA Overlay, and turn off overlays by pressing on the green slider.

If your game is running slowly or are experiencing frame drops/stutters on your laptop, please ensure you have done the follow:

  • Make sure that your laptop is plugged into the AC Charger that matches or exceeds the input rating on your laptop. Many laptops will limit performance of the laptop (including the CPU and GPU) while on battery power to conserve battery life.
  • If a laptop supports both barrel plug and USB Type-C charging, always use the barrel plug unless stated otherwise or if you don't have such an adapter.
  • In laptop control center (MSI Dragon Center/Gigabyte Control Center/Armory Crate/Alienware Command Center/OMEN Gaming Hub/Lenovo Vantage), please ensure your power profiles are set to “Maximum/Highest/Gaming/Turbo/Performance”
  • Ensure that your programs or games are set to run on the dGPU (Graphics Card) instead of the iGPU. You can set games to use the dGPU (Graphics Card) by going to the Settings app > Display > Graphics > Change default graphics settings, and making sure that the Default high performance GPU is set to the dGPU. Make sure that your game is listed in the list of programs If the program is not listed, you can manually add them in by selecting Browse and go to the folder where the .exe file is located. Afterwards, click on the application name/icon. Select Options, set the application to your preferred GPU and press save.

Note 1: For XBox Game Pass Games, change the dialog “Desktop App” to “Microsoft Store”
Note 2: Windows & Nvidia have removed the function to change the GPU settings in the Nvidia Control Panel. Any outdated instructions telling you to change it on the NVIDIA Control Panel WILL NOT WORK on systems with both modern Windows and modern GPU.
