So what exactly happened? Well, Nvidia has removed the Image Sharpening feature from its Control Panel version 496.76 and above and has shifted this feature to the GeForce Experience app. Instead, you will now get the Image Scaling option in the control panel. So what’s the fuss all about, couldn’t we still easily access Image Sharpening from the Experience app? Well, you could but it would come at a cost.
And that is at the cost of performance degradation as well as a 10-15 FPS drop. Moreover, if you try to access the Image Scaling option, then the display would scale to aspect ratio instead of fullscreen. All that wasn’t the case earlier when you could access the feature from Control Panel. With that said, there does exist a nifty method through which you could bring back the missing Image Sharpening feature in Nvidia Control Panel. So without any further ado, let’s check it out.
