Control Panel User's Guide (PDF)

Note: After 20 years of dedicated service, the classic NVIDIA Control Panel is officially retiring for Game Ready and Studio Drivers. For NVIDIA RTX PRO users, the NVIDIA Control Panel will continue to be supported until we have migrated professional features to the NVIDIA app.

Existing installs of the NVIDIA Control Panel will remain on users’ systems, unless they perform a clean installation, and users who still need the NVIDIA Control Panel can continue to download it from the Microsoft Store, but we won’t be adding features, fixes, or other changes.

The NVIDIA app contains all of the modern functionality of the NVIDIA Control Panel available for GeForce RTX GPUs, and much more, while running faster and more efficiently.

thx for letting us know about the article and its news..
sucks all these price hikes..
I was just planing to purchase an RTX 5090, at the time it was $7500 (New Zelaand dollars), now it's close to $10000, and no stock and therefore no price guarantee either. Will have to keep my 4090 a bit longer. All PC hardware prices at the moment are madness. Lukcly my sone got his RX5070Ti just before this madness, so he is smiling.

egad that sounds really expensive.. bummer.
but I went with a
ASUS PRIME GeForce RTX 5070 12GB OC Edition, GPU by NVIDIA.

so as to not have my PC melt.. from a fried connector of a RTX 5080 or 5090...
the 5070 is the sweet spot.. 250Watt TDP so no chance of a melting connector. phew...
