GeForce Experience

All gamers want the best experience when enjoying their favorite titles, with as few interruptions as possible. If you own an NVIDIA GeForce graphics card, you can turn to GeForce Experience to make a wide range of gaming-related tasks more convenient. This handy utility can keep your video drivers up to date, and it can also optimize your games for the best graphics-performance balance. Also, if you like doing gameplay videos or live-stream, then you will definitely find this utility useful due to the tools it has to offer.

The software is absolutely free, and you can have it up and running in no time. In a way, GeForce Experience is like DirectX or Visual C++ because you may find it already installed on your system if you've installed drivers for your graphics card. The software works with any NVIDIA GPUs, and it doesn't use a significant amount of resources while it's idle in the background.

When you launch GeForce Experience for the first time, you will say that it's not too different from a lightweight games manager, which is not at all inaccurate. The software automatically detects your installed games and displays their covers on its main user interface, from where you can launch them with a single click. Of course, the software can also optimize your games for performance, quality or something in-between, for running them in full-screen or windowed mode and so on.

Besides its game managing features, the software gives you access to the latest news and graphics drivers on the same interface, on a separate tab. You will get notifications when a new driver is available, but you can also look through the news to see the latest videogame releases, as well as links to the graphics drivers you will need for those particular titles. Having the latest drivers, that ensure you can run the latest videogame on the market, without having to uninstall and reinstall them manually, like in the old days, is something that definitely makes GeForce Experience a good proposition.

Another aspect that makes GeForce Experience worth using is the fact that it comes with ShadowPlay fully integrated. This gives you the possibility of recording gameplay footage at a moment's notice, through a simple hotkey. Whenever you wish to record yourself scoring perfect kills or dominating the battlefield in a game, just press the right keyboard combination and the software will start recording right away.

One of the most useful features is the program's instant replay, which records constantly in the background, but with reduced impact on performance, and never exceeds a set recording length and size. If you something amazing in your game, without expecting it, you can save the footage immediately, even if you weren't planning to record. You can bring up GeForce Experience's in-game overlay at any time if you wish to change how the program records or streams, change the maximum length of the instant replay and much more. The overlay and its controls feel quite comfortable, so you won't have any difficulties when you intend to record your gameplay.

From making your games run better to starting to record gameplay footage right away, even if you haven't planned it, everything gaming-related can be much more convenient.
