NVIDIA GeForce Experience App Aims To Simplify Game Settings, Get You Playing Faster

Seems interesting, but for me fiddling with the settings when first starting a game has almost become a ritual that I think I'd miss. And besides, isn't performance sort of a subjective standard? For example, I'm ok with less than stellar fps in exchange for visual quality, but I know some people can't play anything with less than 60fps. How will it account for these different types of players.

Also, how does it account for mods? An unmodded skyrim runs at a constant 60 fps on my pc, but I've modded it out the wazoo and I get 40 fps. I've toned down shadows from Ultra to High and it helped me a lot. How would this program account for various visual mods (like ENB) that people use?

This should be perfect for me because I'm always trying to tweak video and game settings to find the best visual goodness

"while others pick presets that could choke a sperm whale" lmao well said!

This is a pretty decent idea tho, and should follow suite! Something like this should be integrated with steam to cut down on complaints from less experienced users.

I haven't had to do this in quite some time, it seems like lately the games I've been playing have just worked the way they should, lucky me.  However, I do remember the days of tweaking every little setting possible, to squeeze as many frames out of the game that I could.  Assuming this actually works as good as it sounds before a game releases, this will likely boost sells for any game that is supported.

Nvidia sent some screenshots over of Call of Duty: MW3 and its default selections. I didn't believe they could possibly be that terrible, so I downloaded the game myself today.

The presets for my system look like something you'd be happy with on an original Xbox with composite cables and a 1969 Zenith black-and-white television.

Hahaha, it can't really be that bad man.  Plus MW3 sucked anyway.

I personally like the feeling of adjusting my own settings, I don't know why. I suppose its the fact that I bought the game, and I like having the ability to tailor it to my personal needs and feelings, even if it does mean not using the highest settings.

I really like the idea of the whole driver updates thing. I constantly find myself forgetting completely about driver updates, but then again, this crap computer doesn't need driver updates, it can't run much of anything! haha!

Overall, this looks like a really cool application for gamers or youtubers that record game play that don't necessarily want to keep adjusting their settings all the time. It would also be good for whoever doesn't understand all the new computer lingo, but wants their game to look its best with the hardware that they have ;)

Streamlined optimization through human testing sounds awesome considering the complexity that can go hand in hand with PC games, this sounds like a great way to not only improve the performance for existing PC gamers but make bringing in new gamers' not only more desirable but easier to transition to!

The advantage of ease of use with Nvidia's GeForce Experience app could end up being a huge point of appeal over AMD cards, and the last thing AMD needs is more pressure right now. It'll be interesting to see how this Beta plays out and effects things in the long run!

I think the real benefit here is for the guys out there who don't have the best of hardware.  They'll be able to go in, say I want max FPS and get out.  I remember those days.

And most people aren't trying to max out FPS either so it caters to the majority since gamers who look to max everything out on full specs with multiple displays and such are more of a niche

You must be staring at the sky too much.  When it comes to competitive play, it's all about the fps!
