Always running out of battery with your gaming laptop? Nvidia has a plan to 
help you out.

FULL STORY
======================================================================A new 
version of the Nvidia App is out It packs new G-Assist features for gaming 
laptops That includes AI tuning of battery optimization and Nvidia's 
WhisperMode 

Team Green has updated the Nvidia App with some nifty new features for those 
running one of the firm's GeForce GPUs on a gaming laptop . 

 Neowin noticed that the Nvidia App version 11.0.5 is out now, and expands 
the capabilities of Project G-Assist so that this AI feature now covers 
laptops. 

Nvidia explains in the release notes for its software that: "G-Assist can now 
control key notebook settings, including BatteryBoost, WhisperMode, and 
battery Optimal Playable Settings." 

The new Nvidia App also packs optimal settings for a few more freshly 
released games: Borderlands 4 , Grounded 2 , and Mafia: The Old Country . 

A bunch of games also get DLSS override support, and that again includes 
Borderlands 4 , as well as Dying Light: The Beast and Hell Is Us. 

As ever, this update involves some bug fixing, and Nvidia has resolved 
problems with game setting optimizations failing to work after the PC has 
been rebooted, and applied a number of "stability fixes" (without saying 
exactly what they are). (Image credit: Future) Analysis: battery boons 

Essentially, Nvidia is getting G-Assist (AI) to help with one of the core 
issues around any gaming notebook (or any laptop full-stop , really): battery 
life. That involves optimizing settings to extend battery life  and if you're 
wondering what 'WhisperMode' is, it's an Nvidia tech that helps tame power 
consumption with the GPU, again giving better longevity away from a power 
socket, and also slows fan speeds (hence the name, referring to the laptop 
running more quietly ). 

Clearly then, bringing in G-Assist is a useful addition for gaming laptops  
or it should be, anyway, though of course we must reserve judgment on any new 
features until we see them in action. 

A more reliable app is always a good thing, too, and those bug fixes are 
useful to that end. However, I'm still seeing complaints on Reddit about 
chosen DLSS overrides resetting after the PC is rebooted, meaning they have 
to be selected every time before starting the game. You might also like I've 
reviewed dozens of gaming laptops, and the new Razer Blade 16 with Nvidia's 
RTX 5090 is one of the best I've ever seen AMD drops hint that it's planning 
a big GPU surprise for Nvidia soon, though I'm not fully convinced it's the 
rumored RX 9080 XT The best AMD graphics card in 2025: top GPUs from Team Red
