when a game detects it works so so

sometimes it flops hard.

geforce experience says i need to run my settings on batman: AC on "custom high". excuse me mr tech pplz.. i have a gtx 680 and a core i7 gen 1.. i think i can max it out hurr durr. it also did this to me with saints row.

best advice i can give is to check your graphics settings anyways. i will do most of the work for you, but it will hardly be as advertised.

I wouldn't bother with it.  Decide on your own settings.

I tried to launch it the other night and I think it caused a hard crash/spontaneous reboot of my Win 7 system. First time that's happened in the five years I've owned this rig. So.....yeah, never using Experience again.

It's okay, though it doesn't detect most of my games.

For years I opened the Nvidia Control Panel by double clicking the tray icon.

Now it opens the Experience window and my life is in complete disarray.

Even worse, I tried it again now and Experience wants to install an update. I can't close the window as the only option is to press Install. Which I'm not doing because I also have some sensitive work stuff opened and I won't risk a reboot or a crash or whatever.

tl;dr: it's a miserable experience.

Its a good idea but fails because it always suggests the wrong "optimisations". And it tries to set the lowest FOV on Planetside 2 for some stupid reason.

It's good for those people that aren't too savvy on game settings etc. For those that know, we do our settings manually.

I took a look at it and then never looked at it again.  I don't trust it to tamper with my game's settings based on some arbitrary "Oh you have (x) video card? Use these settings."  It varies

Been PC gaming since 1997, I and any self respecting PC gamer are plently capable of choosing the approprate settings ourselves :)

I have it installed, but rarely use it. I update when my monitor stuff is ready, so I guess it's nice? But then again, you can just download drivers from the site, soooo not much point there. I don't use the "Optimize" feature.

I also have a pair of GTX 680s, core i7 processor, 25 GB RAM and have always had no issues with settings: everything to max! When I first checked this program's recommended settings out, they were all way too low. An I mean LOW! Picking up on what a few others said: about 3/4 of my games aren't on the list. Not much point in it based on those issues alone.

Add that since an update or two ago, it has NEVER actually done anything but the 'Preparing for Installation' message. I have left it open for as long as 14 hours to see if it would actually install anything and it never gets past that part. The only way out is kill it in Task Manager. nVidia blew it on this one methinks.

Having a piece of software automatically set my graphics setting would feel as wrong as having someone build my computer for me.

I ended up uninstalling it on both my PC and laptop.

It sucks.

A complete waste of space and time.
