Been using GFE for a while now. I don't mind it or the login nonsense. Let's see how it plays first before complaining? Maybe.
Follow along with the video below to see how to install our site as a web app on your home screen.
Note: This feature may not be available in some browsers.
I mean, I was responding to people complaining about the software itself. I totally agree with you RE: videos vs writeups. I HATE video reviews or tutorials unless it's something that truly benefits from a video.Let me repost this:
AMD has literally the exact same situation going on with the AMD Gaming Evolved app (a reskinned version of Raptr), which is their solution for recording/streaming game play.
Having used both, in my experience GeForce Experience is a bit simpler and easier to use.
I've had sound getting out of sync and lower quality recording footage with OBS than I have with Shadowplay. I don't care about the streaming, just recording the footage. Recording through the GPU makes a substantial difference in speed at higher resolution as opposed to CPU recording through something like fraps.While I sympathize with your irritation with having to log in, these aren't standard features for you graphics card you're more than welcome to use OBS. If NV demand you upload a picture of yourself painted green and making love to the nvidia logo to use geforce experience, they can, and you're free not to use it xD
Probably because of Twitch. Their servers will throttle your stream if you try to go higher than 3000 unless you have a bajillion followers and are partnered.Why does Shadowplay even have different restrictions for streaming vs recording?
Youtube is happy to eat a 1440p @ 18000 bitrate stream.
GeForce experience optimized settings are great, I should run the witcher 3 at medium settings using 1.75x DSR apparently
What trandoanhung1991 above said. You can change the resolution in the options for each games and it will give you new recommended settings based on that. You can also use the slider to change how much detail you want.IMO, it's a fine idea that doesn't execute well. The idea of "optimizing" for the casual audience is a good one.
The trick is, the software doesn't know what you actually prefer or what you consider optimal. On my system it almost always tries to push 4K resolution with details turned down and framerates in the 30's and 40's...rather than 1080p/60/maxed, which I prefer. Either that or some odd mix of upscaling and details that usually falls flat and leaves me with flaky framerates that bounce up and down.
There should be some easy parameters you could plug in and let it optimize based on that.
It'll never be of much value to power users, but for someone who is a casual users but serious gamer software like this could definitely be useful.

To be fair we don't know if that stance has changed since then. The article from October last year says they wanted to start enforcing this in January this year. I'm sure we'll find out in the near future.I reposted it because of Nvidias published intent to no longer offer game ready drivers as individual downloads. If you want the latest drivers, you'll need to have the Geforce Experience installed, and install them through the Geforce Experience. They will no longer be individually downloadable.
i dont get why it requires you to be logged in.
"Official" explanation:i dont get why it requires you to be logged in.
Data collection probably.

I had the exact same issue.Heh, turns out you can't even make an account because they don't send verification emails. If you're going to make logging in a new requirement, the damn account management system should freaking work.
https://forums.geforce.com/default/...-0-5-22-feedback-thread/post/4969292/#4969292I had the exact same issue.
Was fairly certain I already had an account, tried all my normal password to no avail, didnt work.
Requested a password recovery, never received email.
Registered new account, received confirmation email, confirmed account, tried to login with my new shiny [confirmed!] account, still doesnt work.
Submitted request to update account password, never received email.
I refuse to link my other accounts to third party services and wont test this out till I can use my account.
My PC has 9TB of storage and 16GB of RAM. The NVIDIA drivers running in the background take up maybe 200-300MB of RAM and the driver install package takes <2 minutes to download. I really think some of you guys just like to complain for the sake of complaining.
It's not 2004 anymore, AMD's drivers are 300MB too.
Oh, and post # 1000!
Don't forget the led visualizer is busted (not included) also in this version. So don't update to this if you want to customize your led lighting effects.
Heh, turns out you can't even make an account because they don't send verification emails. If you're going to make logging in a new requirement, the damn account management system should freaking work.
Don't you have that option if you don't choose Express Installation? It's been a while since I tried and I don't feel like uninstalling my drivers to test but I thought you can unselect some of the components.Oh, it's not a space issue. Plenty of drive space here. It's a personal preference issue. It's like going to a sandwich shop and all you are allowed to order is a fully loaded sandwich with a bunch of ingredients you don't particularly want, need or care for and end up throwing away.
I'm fine with them issuing the driver as is for those that want it that way, but why not provide an option to select and D/L what you actually want/need rather than all the extra bloatware crap? You're saying that having a choice is bad? You must like Apple products.

You can.Don't you have that option if you don't choose Express Installation? It's been a while since I tried and I don't feel like uninstalling my drivers to test but I thought you can unselect some of the components.
I upgraded to it last night. Seems fine to me. I registered with my Google account. I like GFE for the ease of driver updates lol

Who the hell works at Nvidia and is this disconnected from the gaming community to think this is a good idea? At least they will still offer their drivers as standalone for those who don't want this. I seem to remember a while ago rumors had it that you would have to have this if you wanted access to the newest drivers.
Which is why a LOT of casual users (including me) use it.
Actually, I think some folks complain just to BE complaining.
This is [H]ard|OCP, a site dedicated to people who like to build and tweak their own computing/gaming experience and now nvidia is trying to throw a monkey hammer in that and people here are a little concerned. If nvidia wanted to please its customers then they would offer both types of downloads. You guys and your sliders, are you shitting me?

Nvidia is going to know which games I have installed on my PC -- Oh the humanity!
You realize that the auto-optimization stuff is totally optional right? I don't understand your post. In fact GFE is still, right now, an optional download entirely.This is [H]ard|OCP, a site dedicated to people who like to build and tweak their own computing/gaming experience and now nvidia is trying to throw a monkey hammer in that and people here are a little concerned.
