Nvidia Geforce Experience

Get rid of it… I was gifted a laptop last year for my birthday and was told that this had to stay on the laptop by the person who sold it. any way I never had any issues with it until today when it randomly updated (the app not the nvidia drivers) and that’s when it started to cause issues my fps dropped to 15fps and just stuck there no matter what I did I could not increase it unless I dropped the game quality to somthing ludicrous.

After speaking to some guildies I was advised to remove it so I made the leap and removed it. Straight away my fps went up but it wasn’t were it should be I had to clear the games cache and reset all the ingame graphic options to rid my self of this awful program.

Now it’s gone my fps has increased by about 20 frames that’s with my graphics slider increased :blush:.

Just thought I’d share my experience and hope it’s of some use to some of you :blush:.

You just dont know how to use it thats all … after that update it probably just changed settings for your games to something different …

GFE is quite useful tool as it can often change stuff you cant change yourself

I know how to use it and even when I restored all the settings to how they were it still caused issues and without it my laptop runs wow a hell of a lot better it even starts up faster lol (my laptop that is)

All you did was turn down the settings in WoW when you removed it.

I dont install it as I prefer to alter the settings myself. The only thing I update is the driver and untick the rest.

Personally not had any issues with it. Been using it for years.

Like others have pointed out you aren’t obliged to use their recommended settings.

It’s been common knowledge for a while now to disable it or remove it as it causes a lot of issues in different games, from stuttering to outright crashes for some bizarre reason, why this causes so many issues is something I don’t get as it shouldn’t impact GPU usage the way it does but hey ho I didn’t write the code for that piece of crap.

Then there is all the data logging it’s doing but i’m not gonna go into that.

Please correct me if I’m wrong but don’t you have to actively go to each game and press the “optimize settings” button?

I also prefer to configure settings myself so I’ve never used it, but I saw it was there.

Just don’t use NGE to “optimize” any games. It really sucks at that. It will tell you that WoW runs better on DX11 for example which is just wrong & lazy programming.
It is useful for updating Nvidia drivers, although you can do that “manually” and that’s about it.
It doesn’t do anything unless you tell it to.

There were some issues with the latest 430.39 driver,

I’m using it and it doesn’t affect my WoW at all, because I’ve told it I don’t want it to.

11

I didn’t ask it to either but no matter what I did it just sunk its claws in.

There is a mass Optimise option… and yes; 430.39 is ‘faulty’ (not entirely sure that 430.53 ‘fix’ does what it says on the tin, either).

But as my 1050 ti is too weak to run my new monitor (my fault) nVidia drivers won’t be a problem for me, soon… as an RX Vega 56 has been pencilled in as a replacement.
