I wonder if anyone has used this program from Nvidia.

Supposedly it optimizes game settings and updates drivers for you.

I was looking to get some feedback before taking the plunge and trying it out.

i checked it out. I really like what Nvidia did. And if you dont understand what certain selections for Graphix can effect your cards it is a good program. HOWEVER it is set up for the DEFAULT cards, not EVGA,CLASSIFIED,MSI, all the other aftermarket versions. I have 2x 680 Classified Cards and it kept telling me to turn some settings down lol.

Its good if you dont know what you are doing, besides that dont bother with it.

I was going to mention it, but Solidus already pointed it out. Right now the GeForce Experience is tailored to reference cards. I imagine this might change in time, but its something to consider.

I use it with my Titan. It's pretty awesome. Sets the games to the Max setting that the card can handle.
It's updated Metro 3 times in the past 2 weeks.
I also like how it checks for driver updates and notifies you.

Its worth it if you have a video card and games it supports.

I like it as well, though it always wants me to update to the latest driver, which while normally a good idea the last 1 or 2 nvidia drivers have introduced as many issues as they fixed.

I always save the last stable driver in my downloads so I can easily reverse it.
With the speed of these machines, that about 1 minute of inconvenience

The inconvienience is when the bad driver fries a GPU, anyone remember 196.75? The latest ones are causing some pc's serious issues though not to that extent. I have all the way back to 296.10 saved in my downloads lol I used that driver for some time.

Ah yes, 196.75, gotta love a driver that basically shuts your fan off.

Shutting off the fan would be quieter but not for long before you hear the sizzle.

I am now running Geforce Experience with my Titan. I like it so far. I like how it optimizes games and stuff like that.

They updated it to support Neverwinter and it really improved the game.

It's a great system.
