Nvidia App update introduces G-Assist, DLSS Super Resolution custom scaling and more

Nvidia App's latest update (11.0.3.218) introduces some interesting new features, including an AI assistant named Project G-Assist. This update also introduces DLSS Super Resolution scaling controls and incorporates key settings from the legacy Nvidia Control Panel, aiming to consolidate functionality within the new application.

Nvidia's Project G-Assist provides practical in-game assistance, coaching, and support. Nvidia describes it as an AI driven by a specialised Small Language Model (SLM), trained to perform specific tasks. These include optimising in-game settings, providing hardware information, and controlling lighting and fan speeds on compatible peripherals. Some games will also feature custom support for an enhanced experience. G-Assist's functionality is restricted to users with Nvidia RTX 30, 40, or 50 series GPUs equipped with 12 GB or more of VRAM. The System Assistant and Voice Command modules require approximately 6.5 GB and 3 GB of free disk space, respectively.

In addition to the AI companion, the Nvidia App recently received a DLSS Override feature, allowing users to fine-tune DLSS Super Resolution scaling. Instead of relying on fixed presets, the new update enables users to adjust the input resolution between 33% (DLSS Ultra Performance) and 100% (DLAA), providing granular control for optimal image quality and performance. This is particularly useful for users seeking a middle ground between two presets.

Furthermore, the Nvidia App now integrates two essential features previously exclusive to the Nvidia Control Panel: display scaling and colour settings. The former enables hardware-accelerated integer scaling, overriding in-game and application scaling, while the latter allows users to adjust display colour profiles. The latest version of the Nvidia App is available for download from the official Nvidia website or via an in-app update.
