Our Opinion
Gaming is fun when you have these overlay icons but it will be an adventure if you just play the game without any unwanted icons. Disable all the NVIDIA overlay and play the game. These icons will cause you distractions and blind spots in the game. If you are a gamer and not a game vlogger, better turn off all the overlay icons.
