    Hey guys

    Can anybody tell me how NVIDIA GeForce Experience will improve my gaming experience? Does anybody have experience using this software and how it has helped them?

    Also, what is PhysX System Software?

    Does anybody have an recommendations for either of these two?

    GeForce Experience just applies predefined profiles based on your hardware. Basically, Nvidia determines the optimal settings for each game based on your GPU and then applies those settings with one click.

    I enjoyed Geforce Experience so far... it's not perfect, but it does give a good baseline for settings without having to do a ton of testing/tweaking. Then it's easy to go from there.

    hey thanks, that's what i was looking for. i wasn't sure if the "optimized" settings were accurate and if i should just go ahead and set the settings myself.

    I've found they seem to be quite a bit better than the games defaults or auto selected... on a couple of games it really helped, as I had something enabled that was needlessly hurting performance but I couldn't figure out what it was until I optimized.... then, play for a bit and you can tweak easily to get your preferred settings.

    It's crap it often tell me to have settings lower than they need be when i can actually max the game at 60fps.


    I just like that it prompts me about drive updates.

    Also, it goes by your installed card, so if you've severely overclocked it (like the GT 640m LE) it's going to consistently give you lower settings than are actually ideal.

    Yeah it sucks pretty bad because it tells me to lower my settings when I play at a playable FPS with minimal to no stutter. I still use it though...no idea why
