A new version of Nvidia’s GeForce Experience software is available now. The update is packed with new features, expanded device and game support, and bug fixes. However, there are two new features that come in handy for those moments when you’re not playing on your PC: automatic app optimization and Noise reduction for OBS.
Optimized performance settings for creative apps
GeForce Experience now optimizes settings for creative software like Adobe Lightroom, Adobe Substance Designer, AutoCad, DaVinci Resolve, and more. The app also downloads the latest Nvidia Studio drivers whenever a new update is released.
Software supported by GeForce Experience is listed in the Games and Apps section of the GeForce Experience app. Apps that use Nvidia’s optimal settings are shown with a green check mark. Look for the gray circle if you want to quickly see which apps can benefit from some of the tweaks made by Nvidia.
You are not forced to use Nvidia’s optimal settings, but these can in some cases improve performance and may be worth trying. Here’s how:

- In GeForce Experience, select the option “Games and Apps” Tab.
- Hover over the app thumbnail to highlight it, then click “Details.”
- On the Details page, click “Optimize” above the Settings section.
This applies to the settings recommended by Nvidia based on your PC’s hardware. However, you can also tweak these to improve performance or visual quality (or turn them off completely):
- On an app’s detail page, click the wrench icon above the Settings section.
- Set the slider to “Quality” or “Performance”.
- click “Apply” to save your changes. The app adjusts your settings accordingly.
- If you don’t want to use Nvidia’s suggestions for optimal settings at all, click “To return” to undo the changes. You may also need to adjust the settings in the app.
Support for Nvidia Noise Removal for OBS
GeForce Experience also provides native support for Nvidia noise removal for OBS, one of the most popular studio apps for live streamers. Nvidia’s noise removal technology uses the AI cores of the RTX 2000 or 3000 series GPUs to remove background noise from speakers, PC fans, or other ambient noise without affecting your voice.
This is huge for broadcasters who prefer to use speakers rather than headphones, play fighting games with clunky arcade fighting sticks, or stream from noisy environments.
Previously it was possible to use Nvidia’s Noise Removal in OBS by connecting OBS and Nvidia’s own broadcast app. However, you can now access the function directly in OBS without any additional effort. Almost.
Nvidia’s Nov Removal technology in OBS is still in the testing phase and is currently only available OBS Beta Build. For the beta version you also need to install the Nvidia Broadcast Effect SDK to use the noise filter. As soon as the upcoming OBS version 27 is released, Nvidia Noise Removal will work with no additional requirements other than an RTX GPU.
How to enable Nvidia noise removal in OBS:
- In OBS, right click on your audio source and select “Filter.”
- In the Filters window, click “+” bottom left, then choose “Noise Reduction” from the list.
- Name the filter.
- Choose “NVIDIA Noise Removal” from the Method drop-down menu.
- Adjust the intensity settings.
- Close the filter window.
The creative app optimization, the native Nvidia noise reduction in OBS and all other new features are available after installing Nvidia GeForce Experience version 3.220.32. The update will be installed automatically the next time you run the GeForce Experience app, or you can download the latest version of the installer Here.
