A free program that automatically scans the system, monitors the release of updates for drivers, and also downloads their new versions from official resources. Ensures stable operation of the system and prevents system errors.
Free application designed for regular automatic update drivers installed on the system. Supports all modern operating systems.
Work principles
The program automatically checks for the latest drivers for the video card, issues notifications and prompts the user to download and install them.
You can optimize games in the Games section. To find and then optimize the game, specify its location on the disk and search in the "Settings" section. After that, all found supported games will be displayed in the main window. Select desired application and apply the "Optimize" button. Geforce Experience will automatically analyze system accessories and select the settings recommended for your hardware.

GeForce Experience - convenient solution to update Nvidia video card drivers from additional features for active gamers.
The other day, an update became available to all owners of Nvidia cards GeForce programs Experience that has changed its appearance and become more convenient and optimized.
The new version of GeForce Experience looks much better and fresher, especially for owners of UHD monitors. Version 2.0 was poorly optimized for large resolutions.
The program is constantly updated and improved. Compared to previous versions, this one has even more settings for recording, broadcasting and optimization. In general, optimization in games is one of the main features of this program, developers pay a lot of attention to it. But no matter how much I used automatic optimization, it constantly lowered the graphics so that the game accurately showed an acceptable number of frames per second. For example, the program wants to optimize the game Dragon Age: Inquisition for medium - high settings at a resolution of 2560 x 1080. At the same time, I do not have the oldest hardware: core i7 - 4770K (4.3 GHz), GTX 780 Ichill and 16 GB of RAM. Personally, I myself set all the settings to “ultra”, turn on anti-aliasing and get a stable 60 fps. Only in the toughest moments with dragons does the number of frames drop to 50.
To simplify, the program works like this:
- Hey man, I see you have the most top-end hardware, let me turn all the settings to ultra and you will enjoy the bright and colorful game world.
- Hey man, I see you don't have the newest video card here, yes, I know it's powerful and all, but let's not forget who the main optimizer is here. So here you have medium settings and a checkmark next to the game with the text “Optimized”.
- Hey man, I see you have ancient iron, I'm sorry, I'm sorry for you, see you soon.
This is how the program optimizes all games. At the same time, I would look not only at the hardware, but also take into account the genre of the game. For example, in DOTA 2, CS:GO, etc., where game stability and maximum frames per second are in the first place, the program would sacrifice some graphic beauties if your system cannot produce the desired and stable fps. And in games like The Witcher 3, Dragon Age: Inquisition, etc., where 30 fps is enough, on the contrary, it would increase the quality of graphics, for better immersion in a colorful and interesting game world.
Returning to the program itself, I can note that it began to work much faster. Especially the new Experience Share recording and streaming menu, which is now displayed in an overlay mode and launches very quickly.
Now the page where you can download latest version drivers, merged with Nvidia's news page. But, I'm afraid, in our region it will be of little demand, since all the news is in English.
The tab with games is now made in the form of tiles. Detailed display in the form of a table also did not disappear anywhere.
And the coolest! Users who download version 3.0 will have the opportunity to win a great prize - MSI's VR Ready laptop based on the GeForce GTX 10 series, which comes with the helmet virtual reality HTC Vive. How, when and where it will be played is not yet clear.
Write in the comments if you use the GeForce Experience application and if you upgraded to version 3.0, how do you like this update?
