GeForce Experience?

Anyone using the GeForce Experience? It seems strange to have it automatically set all of the video options for you, but on the other hand if it really works, that is pretty cool...

Thoughts or experiences with it?

I just released from beta right? I might download it and try it out. It would be nice to unify experiences and help set up new games. I know every game I install defaults to like 1260x800 or something silly.

I would never use a program like that. I enjoy going into my graphics options and tweaking all the different settings by hand.

Then again, I guess I'm an enthusiast. I can see how it would be helpful for people who don't like manually changing their settings or don't know how.

You can still change it manually in game I believe. If I had SLI Titans, why would I want to tweak anything though? I could just force everything to be at the highest available settings and call it a day.

NVidia has the ability to test all the settings and find an optimal combination that produces the best overall image settings for a particular level of performance. My issue was that it was targeting 45 fps thereabouts and that is far too low for me.

Geforce Experience is for noobs that have no idea what they're doing, or how to set anything optimally.

I get tired and confused trying to understand all of the graphical nuances and their impact on my game. MSAA, XSAA, SSAO, Tesslation, HDR Level, Shadow quality, Overlay quality, Draw Distance, Post Processing, Anisotropy, Bloom level, etc., etc., etc. After 30 years of gaming, I just want the game to look the best it can and provide consistent game experience without having to figure out which setting may cause the game to freak out. Guess I'm a noob then.

For example in PS2 GeForce experience (back in beta) used to set my machine to highest settings. I had slowly worked my way down to medium and a few on low where the CPU was the limitation. The reason of course is the game is very heavy when a large battle kicks off, its simply not sensible to choose eye candy in preference to playable frame rates in the middle of a battle. They were setting it up wrong, not taking account of the CPU limitation in the game and that you needed to set your options for play ability under fairly extreme cases.

Now its in the drivers and presumably its changed some what so I will give it a go again, but I am expecting the same result, it to be set for people that can't really tell the difference between 60 and 45 fps.
