Do you use the Geforce Optimisations for your games?

[Psycho Sonny]

I've never really got a good result using this feature so just wondered what others think of it?

Every time I use it, i end up with a poorer frame rate/experiance.

Does it try to get you the best resolution at the sacrifice of performance or vice versa?

For single player games I'll use Geforce experience settings. For multiplayer I will watch a YouTube video with recommended competitive settings.

I like Geforce experience as its easy to record clips of gameplay. It's also easier to know when there is a a driver update and it will automatically download it for you.

People call it bloatware but honestly my system runs about 15 applications on startup and my ram and cpu never break a sweat.

Modern pcs can handle quite a lot of applications running. In fact whilst gaming I've seen my cpu as low as 25% usage. That's during actual gameplay for several minutes.

It's pretty much a myth that Geforce experience will be a hindrance on your system. Unless you are running an old cpu and less than 8GB of ram.

Geforce always sets things way too low on my system. It will cheerfully set absolutely everything to medium and lower the resolution to potato even on undemanding games. I’ve got a 3600X and 1070 with a 1080p monitor so it’ll max most things if I set the graphics options manually.

Casual gamer and just use the Experience optimal settings. At the very least it provides a baseline from where you can tweak from. I usually do a quick review of what it's set and leave it at that, occasionally tweaking if I need to (rarely now). You can also use the slider if you want optimal setting for higher performance or higher quality which I found useful.

I think GeForce is reasonably slick, unless someone can point me to something that says otherwise (genuine question)

Just my own experience. It never set the settings to ones that got the most performance and just seems like unneeded bloatware.

I always thought it was more for people who are new to PC or just transferred from console and don't know what settings do.

To be fair it pretty much is this, it’s just so way off the mark with what it deems to be optimised settings in pretty much whatever you play...

Ive got the Experience installed, but never used it, or made an account.

 

[koooowweeee]

I did not even install GeForce experience or whatever that bloat ware is. Just drivers.

What even is this

Exactly. It is for noobs. I can optimise a game myself, no guide needed even and would get better results that suit ME!
